Summary: Dashboard shows PHP error messages during log in

Initial Comment:
When I go to <root>/phpESP/public/dashboard.php, I get the following error below the Login box where the list of survey's should be:

--------------------------------

Notice: Undefined index: superuser in /nfs/c01/h05/mnt/37168/domains/remedy.fm/html/phpESP/admin/include/lib/espsurvey.inc on line 156

----------------------------------------

I can't figure out what is wrong and why this is erroring out.
Has anyone else had the same problem?

Thanks,
Nick

I have to say: I can't reproduce this: I have enabled the dashboard and
the public survey shows up on the dashboard. I enabled all possible php
errors to show up, but nothing: not in the logfile, nor on screen. For the
record: I tried this with a freshly started browser where I didn't log in
to any part of the admin interface ...

These errors occur when you have logged in as an admin, then go to the
public side and do something.  As far as I know, there are two ways to get
rid of the errors: 1) log in on the public side, 2) erase the session
files.  Do one of those, then you should get the list of public surveys
without the errors.

nick here, again...

what you don't understand, is that i DO have
the"dashboard_show_public_surveys" set to true.  And when i go to the page,
i get the error listed above in the original question and not a list of the
public surveys.

Nick: I actually just reviewed my code, and I think the support you
requested is already available.  In the configuration file, there is a
directive called "dashboard_show_public_surveys".  Set that to true (the
default is false).  You should then get the list of public surveys, as well
as the option to log in.

As far as the errors go, set display_errors and display_startup_errors to
off in your php.ini file.  The scope of this ticket remains to address the
root cause of these tickets.

nick here...

okay, i understand now.
i'll write some SQL code on a new page and connect to my database. 

Something like:
$SQL = "SELECT * FROM phpESP_survey WHERE public = 'Y'";

Then loop through the rows.
Display the title with the link: <root>/phpESP/survey.php?name=<name>

Hope this sounds okay to do...

As bishopb mentioned....
"As far as the request to show surveys when not logged in, that is not a
feature of the dashboard, but could be one: open a new ticket.  As far as
functionality, describe what you'd like to see in that new ticket:
perhaps
just the public surveys?"

That simply isn't what the dashboard does.  You change the way
errors/warnings/notices are displayed in your php.ini.

Since I wrote the code, I'll comment:

The underlying reason is that the public authentication code is a) working
in the same session space as the administrator code, and b) is not filling
in all the capabilities information administration side needs.  This occurs
only in the case when the same person is bouncing between the
administration and public sides of phpESP, which is a rare case.

I am tracking this as a FIXME, but since it affects such a small segment
of the population (I believe) it has a low priority.  Votes to increase the
priority are welcome.

As far as the request to show surveys when not logged in, that is not a
feature of the dashboard, but could be one: open a new ticket.  As far as
functionality, describe what you'd like to see in that new ticket: perhaps
just the public surveys?

These are notices and warnings, which technically we/phpESP should not be
producing, but I think if you stop them from being sent to the browser the
dashboard should work.

Update...  Nick here...

I just noticed when I log in the admin panel side, then go to
<root>/phpESP/public/dashboard.php, it shows the list of surveys that are
available to take. However, when I sign out and then go to the page, i get
the error.  I'd like the list of surveys to show when the user is not
logged in.   Thanks!
