CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I've been fighting with this for a while now and would welcome any ideas.  We're trying to enable a member directory search using a CiviCRM Profile which I've linked to the User Menu.  I've made the index.php edits to enable session handling.  The profile previews wonderfully and I can run it by using the /administrator URL and profile ID from the wiki documentation.  The menu item also pulls up the profile fine.  The problem comes when I try to actually run a search, with text or empty to see the full directory.  We're on Joomla 1.0.12 stable adn CiviCRM 1.9.11960.

I get the following error:

unrecoverable error

Any ideas?

I managed to reproduce the problem and hence filed the issue. I started to take a look at the code to figure out what was happening and realized that I forgot to add the session stuff to the front end code. I had forgotten to make the change when i upgraded to joomla 1.0.13. I added the lines as documented in the wiki and things worked as expected.

Considering that i managed to get the exact same error, i'm pretty certain this is a session issue. Can u please check your joomla index.php and check that

// These lines are needed for proper function of CiviCRM at the frontend
session_name( md5( $mosConfig_live_site . '_frontend' ));
session_start();

// mainframe is an API workhorse, lots of 'core' interaction routines
$mainframe = new mosMainFrame( $database, $option, '.' );
$mainframe->initSession();

Just wanted to update that I did get the issue resolved and you were correct Lobo.  I had the code in the index.php file but I read the instructions TOO literally and inserted the lines "ABOVE the "$mainframe..." line" like this:

// mainframe is an API workhorse, lots of 'core' interaction routines
// These lines are needed for proper function of CiviCRM at the frontend
session_name( md5( $mosConfig_live_site . '_frontend' ));
session_start();
$mainframe = new mosMainFrame( $database, $option, '.' );
$mainframe->initSession();

I went back and looked at your code and once I matched it it worked!!!  Thanks for your patience and help.
