[Phpwiki-talk] Locked out of wiki

[Leonard m. <spa...@ya...>]

I recently tried some of the themes available in my wiki user login,
and one of them PHPWiki was not happy with.  I immediately started
getting these errors, and get them every time I log into wiki with my
user login:

  lib/plugin/RateIt.php (In template 'navbar') (In template 'top') (In
template 'body') (In template 'html'):230: Warning[2]: extract(): First
argument should be an array

  Fatal error: Call to undefined function: _get_pageid() in
/var/www/sggl/htdocs/sgglwiki/lib/plugin/RateIt.php on line 544

Effectively this wiki user login is useless.

How do I reset the active theme for my wiki user back to the default. I
do have wiki admin priviledge by the way, but I don't see how that
helps me.

Thanks,

Leonard

Do you have access to the source code?

I think one way to dodge this would be to put

return "";

right at the top of the run() method in lib/plugin/RateIt.php. This 
would skip the ratings plugin altogether, and allow the user to change 
the theme back.

Not sure. You might try it.

Thanks!  Oddly there was no Preferences button with the wikilens theme
(the one causing problems), but I found the right URL to surf to and
was able to change my theme back to the default.

However, silly me, I tried one of the other profiles (the one right
below wikilens, whichever that is), and now I'm locked out with:

 Fatal PhpWiki Error

 lib/DbaDatabase.php (In template 'body') (In template 'html'):54: 
Fatal[256]:
dba_open(/var/www/sggl/htdocs/sgglwiki/pages/wiki_session.gdbm,w):
Driver initialization failed for handler: gdbm: Can't be writer

    * file: /var/www/sggl/htdocs/sgglwiki/pages/wiki_session.gdbm
    * mode: w
    * handler: gdbm:
    * ?>

I did chmod this file to 666 just to try and get past it, but it still
fatals with this same error.

I swear if you help me get back to the default theme, I'll never change
the theme again! ;-)

Thanks,

Leonard

I'm afraid I don't know what theme that is, what that error in the code 
is, or what version of PhpWiki you're running, or what your 
configuration is (e.g., what back-end you're using for pages). Thus, I'm 
afraid I don't have time to look into it now. I just answered before 
because I had a quick suggestion.

Well, thanks for your first tip anyway.  That got me out of the
wikilens brokenness.

As to the rest, for you or anyone else that can help me reset my wiki
user's theme to the default again, here's our setup:

   Broken Theme: Sidebar
   Desired Theme: default
   phpwiki-1.3.10
   apache-2.0.52-r1
   Gentoo Base System 1.4.16

Thanks,

Leonard

As intermediate fix I suggest to disable theme switching from the 
userpreferences template. Out-commenting it, so that admins can enable 
it when they think it works.

For the archives, I found a solution.  To my latest problem with the
Sidebar theme.  Go to the server's themes subdirectory, mv the
directory for the hosed profile aside, symlink default to that name,
log into wiki and change your profile away from the buggy one, and then
restore the themes directory to its original state.  E.g.:

    cd themes
    mv Sidebar Sidebar.old
    ln -sf default Sidebar
    <log in and change your theme to default>
    rm Sidebar
    mv Sidebar.old Sidebar
