Joomla needs those Itemids (menu ids in fact)...

This was the key piece of information that I needed.
What I could not figure out was the meaning of this Itemid=42 values that was being passed along. Oddly it worked without this in the old setup.

Here's what happened:

Site was cracked and I replaced all files and searched through the databse for evidence of introduced data.

I found none so the assumption is that the offender was in one of the many files that I replaced. Installed the latest Joomla and uploaded the old database. Then installed latest versions of all my coms and mods with their customisations re-applied.

What a nightmare.

Everything was working well but at the time that I repopulated the database apparently id numbers in jos_menus were changed, presumably auto incremented. id=42 pointed to a menu id that did not exist. This way even if you paste the supposedly correct url:

index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=usersList&Itemid=42

because the menu id #42 does not exist you are denied access.

Changed the url to the correct itemid and everything worked.

The problem now is that the id #42 is still somewhere in the db i believe. So I have to find that, change it and all will operate as normal.

Hope that made sense.

Thanks for the hint I needed!

I'm having similar problems with Joomla 1.0.12 and CB 1.0.2 (also using JACLplus 1.0.12). While all of my users can see profiles, they cannot edit their own profiles, send messages through the profile or add connections. All of these actions return a "You are not authorised to view this resource."

In fact, it almost acts as if it connects the username to the profile, but then fails to authenticate the user as the profile owner. Basically, everyone has "public" access.

Any help, ideas, pointers or even search terms to use would be helpful!

Thanks,

I have (maybe) the same problem:

clicking on a enty of the user list brings me to a page with restrictet access (you may login). But by clicking on a image of a users gallery, i can go to a userprofile as an unregistered user! Any idea?
