I have a problem with giving an access to ban people for a certain Member Group. When I edit this group settings in Control Panel Administration I check:

* Can administrate members accounts
* Can change the group that a member is assigned to (Unlocked groups only)
* Can administrate member profile templates
* Can delete members
* Can ban users

and click Update, but then when I come back to this group settings the only checked options are:

* Can administrate members accounts
* Can administrate member profile templates
* Can delete members

In Control Panel Access I have Can access MEMBERS section set as Yes.
WHy is it changing by itself? How to make it work?

Hi PipSpratt,

I can’t replicate this on the most current version.

What version and build of EE are you using?
Are you using any add-ons?

I use EE v2.2.0 and add-ons:

File Extension Icon, Human Filesize, ImageSizer, Expresso, SafeCracker, Calendar, Channel Files, Freeform,

any thoughts ?

PipSpratt,

Was this an upgrade or a fresh install? Can you run through a quick update to 2.2.1 as well?

it was an upgrade from EE 2.x - I don’t remember what version it was before. I can’t make an upgrade now because my colleague is during training now - our client is learning how to use the website

PipSpratt,

Would there be any time, even out of office hours that the client wasn’t using the site that you could perform an upgrade?

It would be great if we were troubleshooting from the same version of EE to rule out any already resolved bugs

Hi,

I managed to do the update and now the banning for other Member Groups works fine. But I have another problem, when I want to open Template Manager in CP I see this error:

“An Error Was Encountered

The name you submitted may only contain alpha-numeric characters, underscores, and dashes Copy of addevent”

I have no idea what happened - I changed two files: form_validation_lang.php and Form_validation.php and added my own validation rules but didn’t change anything else.

In form_validation_lang.php I added:

$lang['alpha_dash_plus']    = "The %s field may only contain alpha-numeric characters, spaces and - _ @ ? ! , . : ;";

In Form_validation.php I added:

/**
     * Alpha-numeric with underscores,dashes, !, @, % and spaces
     *
     * @access    public
     * @param    string
     * @return    bool
     */
    function alpha_dash_plus($str)
    {
        return ( ! preg_match("/^([-a-z0-9_-\s\100\041\077\041\054\056\072\073])+$/i", $str)) ? FALSE : TRUE;
    }

    // --------------------------------------------------------------------

I don’t think this is the case, is it?

PipSpratt,

Are you saving templates as files by any chance? If so, is there a file in your templates folder that might have an invalid name (for a template?)

thank you Brandon, that was the case - I had “Copy of addevent.html” in one of the templates folder. I removed it and now it work properly

Glad Brandon was able to help. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
