"You are not authorized..." for validation rules [SOLVED]

[cookn22]

I'm using Joomla 1.0.15 and Rev 811, both were installed pretty recently (a couple days ago).

I made a new validation rule, and when I clicked apply I got the error message, "You are not authorized to view this resource." I am logged in as Super Administrator and I chmoded all files and directories to 777 to see if that was the problem somewhere but it didn't fix it. Now, I get the error message whenever I click on the links to any of the validation rules. Not sure if it was doing this for the default rules before I tried making my own rule.

I have another install of fabrik of an earlier rev (not sure revision specifically, but its around 541) but on joomla 1.0.14 and this error isn't occuring.

Hmmm, I can't duplicate this.

If you want to PM me a backend login, I'll take a look as soon as I get time (but there are three people ahead of you in the queue right now).

That's cool, I'm having a number of other bugs, so I think something is seriously not right somewhere. I'm going to do a reinstall, and if I still have problems I'll pm you my info.

Re: "You are not authorized..." for validation rules

I did a completely fresh install of joomla and fabrik and I'm still getting the validation rule error.

I PM'd you my info, let me know if you need anything else.

Re: "You are not authorized..." for validation rules

Ok, I fixed the error by commenting out the line 'josSpoofCheck();' for every function in admin.fabrik.validationrules.php. I checked my older revision of the site against the current one, and this function was the only major difference... Of course, I have no idea what it does, so I'm not sure if simply commenting it out is a wise thing to do even if it apparently fixes the problem...

Re: "You are not authorized..." for validation rules

hmm there was one instance where josSpoofcheck() shouldnt have been called, which i have removed from the SVN, however the others are necessary .
josSpoofCheck() was added by joomla to ensure that people were submitting the form and not some random kiddy script

Looks like that fixed it for me, thanks for the quick updates!
