Answered Problems with WebUsers and WebGroups

    Hi peoples,
    does anyone else have problems in 1.0.14 with WebGroups ??
    I'm used to run an own script that creates WebUsers and WebGroups via a backend module. That worked for a long time, like since 1.0.2 or so.

    Now I copied some users from an older version straight into the 1.0.14-database and that also works in the frontend. However, trying this through my script or via the MODx interface does not work. I suspect it simply doesn't see a loggedin user belonging to a webgroup (and then redirects home).
    In the databae the (old and new records for the) webuser-tables seem alike. But I still I suffer from malfunction. The user can log in but, doesn't seem to belong to WebGroups anylonger. Even when the default backend WebUser section tells me that users are attached to a WebGroup. It seems to have no effect. Are there other places I should check since 1.0.14? Or am I just loosing it :-/

    Any help would be appreceated.
    Cheers.

      Okay, found it.
      I am using an own way of creating WebUsers, from a homebrew module which tangles with other databases. I guess I never fully cloned the correct way to do webuser-creating. However this never got me in problems before with previous releases than 1.0.14 (mainly 1.0.7 and 1.0.9). With that I'm not saying these are bugs.
      I bypassed it by looking at certain sessions after login. If the user doesn't seem to be in a (needed) WebGroup then I retrieve the user's internal key, and with that look up its WebGroups and re-set some sessions. Not a perfect solution, but good enough one for me, for now.

      Maybe this topic might someday give someone else a hint. Most code you ripp out of the Weblogin snippet.

      Cheers,
      IngMA
