Description

This inlcludes more specific information about a previous bug posting:
(http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=508&trackerId=5)

This bug affects Trackers when mirrortables are turned ON. It occurs with explicit names on or off.

Column headings in trackers disappear in tiki-view_tracker after a few columns when user has non-administrative permissions. This means any privs that are less than tracker-admin. The column headings table is drawn succesfully for a few columns, but then disappears, along with the column names, in the rightmost columns.

Solution

My guess is that this is a result of the removal of the delete tab from the tracker listing when user does not have admin privs. The delete tab gets removed from the system because the user does not have privs to view it, and some data for drawing the complete table gets removed as well. Therefore, the browser does not have enough information to complete the drawing of the table, so it tweaks out and doesn't display all of the column heading information.

It should be noted that when Date Created and Date Modified are shown in tiki-view_tracker.php, these columns always appear and are drawn correctly, but are shifted into the place of the columns that disappeared. Since these values are drawn from a seperate table in the database, this supports the idea that the table information is incomplete for drawing of the tiki-view_tracker column headings table.

This bug has been replicated numerous times with PHP 4.4.1, MySQL 4.1.14, running on Linux w/ Apache.
