Description

When any user creates a comment for an image gallery all users with the since_last_visit_new module active will not be able to access the site. Instead they will receive this error message:

Notice: Undefined index: list in /hsphere/local/home/stdiddl/breakingpaint.com/BP2/modules/mod-since_last_visit_new.php on line 87

if (!isset($perm) || $userlib->user_has_perm_on_object($user,$res['object'], $res['objectType'], $perm)) {
            if ($ret["items"]["comments"]["list"][$count]["href"])
                  $ret["items"]["comments"]["list"][$count]["href"] .= '&comments_show=y#threadId'.$res['threadId'];
      	$ret["items"]["comments"]["list"][$count]["title"] = $tikilib->get_short_datetime($res["commentDate"]) ." ". tra("by") ." ". $res["userName"];
      	$ret["items"]["comments"]["list"][$count]["label"] = $res["title"]; 
      	$count++;


Recreating the problem:

  1. Enable comments for image galleries in Admin>general
  2. Enable the module since_last_visit_new
  3. Create an image gallery if one does not already exist
  4. view an image gallery and post a comment

Solution

Solution if you discovered this bug the hard way:

  1. open your MySql database
  2. browse the tiki-comments table
  3. sort by date created to find the latest comment
  4. delete the offending comment
  5. wait about 10 minutes for everything to recover (I don't know why)
  6. close all browsers and try visiting the site again


Preventive solution:

  1. go to Admin>general
  2. uncheck the box allowing comments in image galleries
