Null User SiteAccess makes it unavailable from "Design"

C C	Wednesday 01 February 2006 12:03:52 pm Hello, During installation, I intentionally left blank the "User access" directory, to avoid creating an extra directory in the structure. The installation proceeded without problems. Now, when I login as an administrator, and I try to "Design" the user access, I cannot. The User access is not available in the drop-down box that says "SiteAccess" - Only the admin SiteAccess is listed. This seems to be an obvious bug (The fact that I used a blank directory for the user SiteAccess gives a clue). QUESTION: Do I have any way of recovering the install by easily changing the SiteAccess to some directory, or am I better off deleting the whole thing and starting again? COMMENT: - The installation script should be modified so that it does not accept null entries for a SiteAccess, or even better - Let the user use null entries, and catch the problem in other parts of the Admin interface. Any help will be appreciated ChC

The Admin SiteAccess is XYZ - I login to domain/index.php/XYZ - Everything is working fine, EXCEPT that the drop-down box for SiteAccess only showsx XYZ (of course, it doesn't know how to show me a "null" option in the list > Did you install another siteaccess earlier? No > Where did your settings like database, ... go? I don't understand your question > What is inserted as AvailableSiteAccesList in /settings/override/site.ini.append.php? It says: AvailableSiteAccessList[] AvailableSiteAccessList[]=XYZ See? It doesn't know what to do with the "null" directory. The drop-down box, instead of letting me chose between a blank line, for example, and XYZ, only shows my XYZ So, my question still stands: Do I have any way of recovering the install by easily changing the SiteAccess to some directory, or am I better off deleting the whole thing and starting again? And of course, my comments about bugs, documenting them, and if possible fixing them :) also stand Cheers! ChC
Thomas Nunninger	Wednesday 01 February 2006 10:30:00 pm Hi, that's what I expected :-) There is only one listed siteaccess "XYZ". How should the system recognize, which siteaccess you are using? (If you have URI matching, your urls will look like index.php/<siteaccess>/<module>/<function>/<parameters...> or with nice urls index.php/<siteaccess>/<descriptive_path>/<to>/<object>.) Where should the settings (database, ...) of the "null" siteaccess go when your OS won't create a directory /settings/siteaccess/<null>. http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/concepts_and_basics will help understanding the system if you haven't read yet. If you haven't done much till now, I propose to install new. In other cases try to create a new siteaccess manual (if you are familiar with the settings) or save the database and, reinstall and restore the backuped database. With the bugs: feel free to report them in the bug tracker. Have a nice day Thomas
