When members login and attempt to edit their profile, three out of four attempts result in a 404 Error file not found. Repeated tries sometimes, but not always, result in a successful change to the profile. Any ideas on what might be causing this erratic behavior? I am running the Membership PlugIn with the latest version of CMSB, and have added fields to the profile.

Thanks!

Hi,

If you could send me a link to your site, I can do some testing to see what's happening.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I've taken a look and I think I may see our problem. What's happening is when the user changes a piece of information and submits it, the first thing the script encounters is a "getRecords" statement. CMS Builder then tries to do a search based on all the information they just entered. Since a piece of information was changed, it won't find a record. The message coming up is indicating that no record was found in the database, not that the page itself wasn't found.

The reason the password part works is because of the names of the fields in the form (newpassword1, newpassword2, etc) don't match the names of the fields in the database, so they are dropped from the search.

Fortunately, there is a very easy way to get around this, we just need to add a line to the getRecords statement as follows (I've highlighted the change in red):

list($accountsRecords, $accountsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'accounts',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'allowSearch' => false,
'limit' => '1',
));


This will stop CMS Builder from performing the search and should let the script run properly. Give that a try and let me know if you run into any other difficulties.

Hope this helps.
