[campsite-support] User password change not working

    Hello,

    Forgive me if this is something simple, but I searched the manual and
    the mailing lists and couldn't find anything. I want users (e.g.
    journalists, photographers) with only very basic permissions (add
    articles, images) to be able to change their own passwords. When I log
    in as one of these, I see the "Change your password" link in the menu,
    but clicking it just results in "You do not have the right to change
    user account permissions."

    Is it supposed to be like this? "User may add/change staff accounts
    and passwords" is the only related permission that I can find, but I
    want them to be able to change only their own.

    This is with Campsite 2.6.2 (and FreeBSD 6.1, Apache 2.2.3, PHP 4.4.4,
    MySQL 4.1.18). Same problem on the demo site. Any help would be
    appreciated.

    Hi,

    Please copy the attached file (info.php) to /usr/local/campsite/www-common/html/priv/users
    directory.

    Regards,
    Mugur

    Thanks! The passwords are changed, however it also results in this error:

    Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in
    /usr/local/campsite/www-common/html/classes/User.php on line 652

    line 652: if ($phorumUser->setPassword($this->m_data['Password']) &&

    Commenting out line 74 in
    /usr/local/campsite/www-common/html/priv/users/do_edit.php,
    $editUser->syncPhorumUser();, works as a workaround (as I don't use
    phorum).

    Anders!

    bug was already fixed. look at
    http://code.campware.org/projects/campsite/changeset/6100 or replace
    do_edit.php for the attached file.

    thanks!
