There seems to be a bug in the process of creating new user groups. When you log in as Admin, and go to tiki-admingroups.php, you should be able to create a new group of users. There is a tab "Create group".
When you want to create a new group, obviously you have to give it a (new) name. So you enter that, and a description. For starters, you could have it inherit rights from Anonymous. If you don't need a registration tracker, you can leave this out (e.g. if you do not want that users can assign themselves. Example: You want to create a new group of "premium users" that will get additional rights to see some content not visible for others).
If membership shall not expire, there is no need for an expiration date.
If you do all that, you will get a confirmation dialog "Create the group GROUPNAME?". You click on Create and - get an error message
"Error
Group name cannot be empty".
But group name was NOT empty... Actually, the whole dialog "Create the group GROUPNAME?" would not make sense IF it would be able. So even if the error message "cannot be empty" would work correctly, which it doesn't, it would come too late, it should be before the confirmation dialog...
There is also a PHP error, which might (or might not) be unrelated:
"NOTICE (E_NOTICE): Undefined variable: groupcolor
At line 411 in tiki-admingroups.php"
The URL for the show2.tiki.org instance that demonstrates this bug is at: http://hman-11504-8022.show2.tiki.org. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show". This is different from the initial login and password for a new Tiki which is "admin" and "admin".
For the install log, see http://hman-11504-8022.show2.tiki.org/info.txt
Note that if you see PHP errors or a Tiki claiming to be missing third party software, the instance creation is probably not finished. Please wait a couple minutes and reload.
Snapshots are database dumps of the configuration that developers can download for debugging. Once you have reproduced your bug on the show2.tiki.org instance, create a snapshot that can then be downloaded by developers for further investigation.
Snapshots can be accessed at: http://hman-11504-8022.show2.tiki.org/snapshots/. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show".
Create new snapshotUnable to connect to show.tikiwiki.org. Please let us know of the problem so that we can do something about it. Thanks.
