Access Problems

Hey guys,

Getting some access problems.

The other week I upgraded a sites CB from 1.0 to the latest stable 1.2 (so I assume RC4) and since I did that we've got a problem.

Every time I try to view content set to "public" I get:
You are not authorised to view this resource.
You need to login.

This is a fairly major issue as we need that information viewable to the public.

Is this problem likely to be caused by CB1.2?

If you searched the forums, you'd see this issue solved many times over. You're most likely using a legacy extension without enabling Joomla's Legacy Plugin.

I did search, and most of the results I found simply said "This has been answered before, do a search"

But thanks anyway, you've given more information so I can narrow my search down.

ETA: Found a few posts referencing instructions in the readme file on creating a public menu for com builder. Just thought I'd point out that my readme file has no such instructions.

Also, We're running Joomla 1.0 - the legacy issue is only for 1.5 isn't it?

If your content is really set to public then the problem is not CB - it is purely Joomla related.

Thanks mate,

After some extensive searching I think you're correct. The other people who had similar issues only had issues on a few pages, mostly the login and rego page. For us, both of those work (mostly) but other content doesn't.

Another Q, a member of the site reckons his password was only 5 characters before the upgrade yet it won't accept it now as it wants a 6 character password. Does 1.2 only accept passwords over 6 characters in length?

Yes... it's set for six minimum.
