Broken login block in 4.7.6.4

Posted July 20th, 2007 by elmuerte
Hotfix!

In 4.7.6.4 the drupal user login block/form is broken because of a fix related to the resetting of a global variable.
This fix will restore the functionality of the login block.

Problem description:

This bug was caused by the fact that the global $user object was nullified when the session was restarted. Because of this vbDrupal would not recognize the correct authentication.
This bug was caused by a bugfix in 4.7.6.4 that caused an error to pop up in certain cases when from vBulletin vbDrupal was bootstrapped to perform user related actions (which also used the global user variable).

Applies to version:

4.7.6.4

Instructions:

Download the linked file and override the session.inc in drupal/includes/vbdrupal

« Download »

The installation package does't content this file under drupal/modules/vbdrupal ..
It should be drupal/includes/vbdrupal , right?

Sorry for my confusion. The Download link above is just a link to this page. Where is the hotfix?

uhm.. it looks like sifuhall forgot to install an updated flexinode module when he upgraded vbdrupal.org to vbDrupal 5.

vbDrupal 4.7.7.1 includes the fix for this issue

On August 15th, 2007 sifuhall says:
Our flexinode has been converted to CCK. The download should be working now.

On August 15th, 2007 elmuerte says:
Nice, is that conversion automated?

On August 15th, 2007 sifuhall says:
Yep, it was fully automated and now we are running the vastly superior CCK instead of flexinode.

CCK + Contemplate + Views are quickly becoming my "must have" modules.
