Urgent ! Problem after upgrade to 2.0.5

[builders]

I have upgrade an entire site from joomla 1.5.25 to joomla 2.5 and all components it had but i still have a problem with Guestbook. I have insert the DB as i saw from a tutorial and now i can see from backend the posts as it was at previous version hust fine.

The problem is that when i try from frontend to see the guestbook area i get "You are not authorized to do this action"
From menu i tried everything but still the same message.

What shall i do to fix that ??

Thanks

Hi, check if the language is Ok, try to enable debug mode if there is no error

Hi,

First of all let me say thanks to the developers of such great extensions for joomla!

I'm too experiencing mentioned troubles. I'm migrating from joomla 1.5 to 2.5 and did all that was said in your descriptions. I see the j2.5 guestbook in the backend and I see all the entries. I check the language column in the database and it is there with that * in it. But in the frontend when I click on the menu link (which btw.) has the right "public" I get the message "You are not authorized to do this action". An new menu entry also doesn't do the trick. I also checked the language in the menu and it says "all".

The debugging says nothing at all, when it's up to that all seems well... alas!

I think I searched this forum thoroughly but so far I haven't been able to find a solution to this problem.

PLEASE can someone lend me a hand - I'm nearly finished with everything...

Best!

Hi, can I see the site where this occurs?

Hello Jan,

yes, but I'd like to send you credentials and stuff so you can log-in and check everything. Since I cannot PM you (this message board tells me that I haven't been active enough to do so...), how can I do that? Can you send me an e-mail and I mail you back?

Thanks so much for all your kind help!

Best!

same issue here.

I installed the guestbook on a clean install on the same server with the same environment, no problems. just made the menuitem and all works.

I did the same with a site which I recently migrated using jupgrade. (I'm still experiencing problems in the reordering of menuitems).

both sites are on the same server, same j2.5.4.

@all with this problem
Is your site a clean 2.5 ? Or has it been migrated with jUpgrade?

@jan
Mail me if you like me to send you the site.

Hi Carsten,

I did a clean install of j2.5 and then migrated with spupgrade, it's a pretty straightforward thing. What solved the problem for me was.

First of all do the described phoca migration procedure!!! You have to make sure that you see all the entries in the backend. Check that the link in your menu point to the right component and that you have chosen the right gesutbook, check the access level of that link, too!

Then this is what did it for me:
Go to the backend, login as an admin, go to your component phocaguestbook and open up the guestbook you don't see in the front-end view. Open it and change the access level to anything, save that and then change it back to public if that's the level you want to have. Test the front-end.

This did the trick for me. The shown access level obviously is wrong or falsely indicated. You have to change it, save it, change it back to your desired level and then the thing shows up!

Hope this helps you.

Oh, and HUGE TANKS to Jan, you're truly a Joomla hero!

Best!

Go to the backend, login as an admin, go to your component phocaguestbook and open up the guestbook you don't see in the front-end view. Open it and change the access level to anything, save that and then change it back to public if that's the level you want to have. Test the front-end.

Yes! that was the solution.

So lets add this query to to migration script:

Code: Select all

UPDATE `jos_phocaguestbook_books` SET `access` = '1';
UPDATE `jos_phocaguestbook_items` SET `access` = '1';
