Hello i have an issue after importing a members database to my website. The data imports fine, however none of the predefined passwords listed in the file work. I have since deleted the password field from the csv (backed it up of course) and re=uploaded it trying to use the default password field of the importer, it did not seem to overwrite or fix the current issue.

I do not want to send a newsletter out to the member base say "You can now log in, please use the forgot password feature to create a password for login." What is causing this issue, and how can it be resolved?

Note: i did have to upload the csv twice, as the first time it only made the custom fields and did not retain the data, the 2ed time the data was stored properly.

Thanks

Please upload the CSV so I can have a try. Send as a whisper to me or a free support ticket (bug report) if you'd like to keep private.

Hi,

Well, I did get your CPF creation issue. It gave a big fat stack trace after creating the CPF, until I refreshed.

So that's definitely a bug and can be fixed by removing this line:

Code


               $cpf['text_original']=get_translated_text($cpf['cf_name'],$GLOBALS['FORUM_DB']);
from adminzone/pages/modules/admin_ocf_join.php.

However, I had no issues with passwords.

A couple of notes:
  1. I was careful with my copying and pasting into the login form, as that often copies whitespace. It's better to just type it manually.
  2. If the site is closed it'll still knock you right back to the site closed screen even if you log in (without a message - usability issue there, will fix).
  3. A similar thing may happen if the user has no access to where they're trying to go, although it probably will be more explicit saying access is denied rather than not logged in.

Even if you have some access denied error, or stuck in a closed site, the default footer will have a logout link (with a tooltip of the current username). So that's a good way to test it if you're not sure.

So is it definitely not logging in, or is it just a permissions issue?

It keeps saying invalid password. If the current passwords are corrupt, will reuploading the file replace them? I have tired it with no luck however.

The site is currently open, the log in simply dose not accept the password.

Ah, of course – yes I bet it is that it doesn't like changing the passwords for existing members to new plain-text passwords. Will get back to you soon.

Sorry I missed that. This code is rather complex as it has to juggle different ways passwords might be specified. Usually when replacing existing records, you're importing the encrypted passwords you previously
exported (i.e. they're already encrypted and thus just copied straight into the database), but in this case it has to recognise they're fresh passwords.
Of course, you ended up editing due to the other bug that forced you to do a refresh.
