Joomla! Discussion Forums

When viewing an page of archives, if you click on a link to the second or more pages, I get an:

You are not authorized to view this resource.
You need to login.

The numbered pages (and Next, Previous, End) all go to other pages on my site.

URL: http://www.archaicbinary.net/content/ar ... egory/1/2/

This is a fresh install of Joomla! 1.0.8

UPDATE: This only occures with SEF enabled.

I can't even get to the Blog-category listing, whether SEO is on or not...
Same error.

I upgraded from 1.0.7 and get the message "You are not authorized to view this resource.
You need to login."  When trying to view the archives.

Fixed in SVN

What's SVN?

Which particular files were changed in SVN to fix this bug?

Anyone ever figure out which files actually resolved this issue?

It was content.php in the com_content component.

I found it on another thread.  In most of the functions, like showArchiveCategory, there will be a query and an if statement to check "if (!count(rows))".  You need to also include "&& $check != 0" in that if statement, otherwise it will attempt to load a category that doesn't exist and then the published check will fail, and thus the no permissions error.  If you've actually got content in your Archives, you probably wont see this error.

The latest version in SVN (or at least the versions I've seen) have had $check renamed to something else, like $secId.  There were so many other changes in the latest version, particularly in the queries, I just updated my installation manually for the $check bit.

Do a sanity check on all the show* functions in content.php to make sure they're doing that check, just to be sure.

Many thanks for the reply Reuben. Any chance you could post your amended file to test?

Sure.  Attached in content.zip is my version of content.php.

The only change from 1.0.8 is the checks on $check to make sure its not zero for the various if statements that also check the row count.

Thanks Reuben. I'll try that.

Hello I am having this same issue in the latest version.  I am new to Joomla and don't understand the prior posts about what to fix to get this to work.  I can see the story titles, but when click says you are not aurhorized to view this resource.  Any detailed help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

This "should" actually be fixed with 1.0.10.

Here's what you'll need to check.

First, take a note of what kind of section you're trying to view (is it a Blog or an Archive, is it a Section or a Category, etc).
Second, lets look at the source code. Have a look at components/com_content/content.php.

There are 4 functions you need to look at : showBlogSection(), showBlogCategory(), showArchiveSection() and showArchiveCategory().

They all have a very similar structure.

Lets look at showArchiveCategory().

Somewhere near the top is "$catID = ($id ? $id : 0 );".

Further down, after the SQL code is "if (!count($rows) && $catID != 0) {"

That is the fixed code. The previous code didnt check the value of $catID, so if it was zero, and attempted to do the load, you would get the unauthorized message.

showBlogCategory() does something similar, but different.  Its if statement says "if (!count($rows) && $check) {", which works out to be the same as the other method.  I wish they were all consistent, but thats beside the point.

Anyway, if you track the source through and try to load content with a zero value identifier, you'll get that error.

Hopefully, the problem you are having is located elsewhere, or there'll be a bit of head scratching going on. I just upgraded to 1.0.10, and was able to remove a few customisations / bugfixs I had made in my own distribution. So far, this error has not occured.

these are archived news - latest news items.....I currently have it unpublished because I don't want users to think they have to log in to view archives.  If I do a search from the search menu, the items come up and are viewable archived.  Any ideas for this?  Thanks very much for your help.
