Hi all, I am a beginner in Joomla and was getting this error (error is subject) every time I login as a user on my website. I have linked the images of the error and attached my Login function code as login.txt. I do not know why the alert is popping up even after a successful login and would like to prevent it from showing. Appreciate everyone that takes the time to read this and have a great day

It seems there's something without the correct permissions e.g. a module or something and that's what the errors alerting you for. You can't just 'turn if off' without figuring out the problem.

Are you logging on with a full super user or something else?

Is the 'login function code' something you created or is it Joomla system code?

I am logging in with a super user account but the same thing occurs. Yes, the login function code is written by me. Could it be something wrong with my login function code?

Why are you coding a login function? What are you trying to achieve?

So that I can change my state to login? and users that are logged in have access to more features

Hi. Check the owner of the site's files on the server. For example, this often happens when using VPS/VDS when you manipulate the files under the root user, instead of using the domain user. (just happened to me

)

Thanks, for the quick reply.
Ok so I just have to check who is the owner of the file and can you guide me on what should I do after that?

If the owner is not the right user, you need to change it to the right one. It can be done by bunch, for all files and folders. Specific functionality depends on the hosting panel.

Do you have a login menu item? Set the Login redirect to the Home page menu item. Same for the Logout redirect. Same if you are using a module to login - set the Login and Logout redirection pages. Tell us if that fixes the message.

Thank you good sir! this solves it for me

I went and set the login and logout menu item to redirect to the home page and the message is gone. But I would like to understand and learn how does doing this fixes this problem.

But I would like to understand and learn how does doing this fixes this problem.

To find the problem:

First find the error message in the language ini files - you will find this one in joomla.ini - and that gives you the key to look for in the code - JERROR_ALERTNOAUTHOR.

Then look for that key in the php code. You will find it in several places. In this case it is libraries/src/Application/SiteApplication.php on line 120 that is relevant.

Then read the code: the function is checking you are authorised to access a menu item. You are not even though you are logged in. So the error message is queued and you are redirected to the home page. That means there may be something wrong with your own code or you have forgotten to redirect to an authorised menu item, for example if you are trying to stay on the Edit Profile page after logout.

I understand now. Thank you so much
