Dashboard: Redirect Loop problem

[sophistry]

Has anyone installed the Dashboard before? I'm in the process of installing a dashboard, and I've run into one minor problem, so I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue.

Everything seems to be set up fine, and if I'm logged in I can see and edit whatever I need to on my dashboard. When I log out, I get a redirect loop error in firefox.

However! Changing this line in my conf/ApplicationDelegate.php:

Code: Select all

         $query['-action'] = 'dashboard';

to

Code: Select all

         $query['-action'] == 'dashboard';

brings the page back and allows me to log in again ... except now the Dashboard is showing the actual dashboard table. Though, I believe I'm actually just breaking that query to tell DF to use the dashboard action. However, after I've logged in I can take out that one = and save, then reload the page and now be logged in and showing the dashboard perfectly again.

It must be looping the function for the dashboard in Application Delegate, but I can't figure out how to stop it from looping. this is the code (which comes after my getPermissions function:

Code: Select all

   function beforeHandleRequest(){
      $app =& Dataface_Application::getInstance();
      $query =& $app->getQuery();
      if ( $query['-table'] == 'dashboard' ){
         $query['-action'] = 'dashboard';
      }
   }

If anyone has run into this issue while setting up a dashboard from the tutorial, let me know what fixed it.

Thanks,
Rory

Try changing the code to:

Code: Select all

$app =& Dataface_Application::getInstance();
$query =& $app->getQuery();
if ( $query['-table'] == 'dashboard' and ($query['-action'] == 'browse' or $query['-action'] == 'list') ){
    $query['-action'] = 'dashboard';
}


I'll look at the dashboard tutorial and see if it needs changing.

Worked like a charm, Steve.

Thanks a lot!
