Hiya,

I didn't want to file a bug just yet, in case I'm doing something wrong. But a recent subsites module commit on 3/13/2010 seems to block logging into the admin area for me.

Line 254 in SiteTreeSubsites.php.

if(!$this->owner->SubsiteID) return false;

If I comment this out, then everything is fine otherwise I can only get to the public subsites and not the admin area. sharvey you out there? Just curious what I might be doing different from you.

Thanks,
Wilson

Are you using 2.4? That was designed to not cause an error if the decorated class didn't have a SubsiteID. There's a code change in the core that goes along with this. If you're using subsites/trunk for developing a site, you might want to wait until 2.4 is released, as it's probably not entirely stable right now.

Note that without this change, the CMS would sometimes crash because a SQL error (no SubsiteID).

Hey Sean,

Thanks for getting back. Yes, I'm using 2.4 beta tag and am using subsites/trunk, primary because it fixed an earlier issue with 'SS_' missing from some SQL stuff. All as SVN externals.

I'm pretty much locked into 2.4 (and love it). Would you recommend that I checkout a different subsites tag?

I appreciate your help.

Wilson

Ah, just saw the core change was from 12 March, so likely didn't make it into the beta. I see what you mean. Thanks.

Unfortunately there's no tagged release for subsites that works with 2.4 yet, as we are still testing 2.4 and getting it stable.

If you're brave, you can checkout http://svn.silverstripe.com/open/phpinstaller/branches/2.4 which is the development branch for where 2.4 releases are derived. We're currently working on this branch to get the next release of 2.4 out.

Alternatively you can patch your beta installation with this changeset: http://open.silverstripe.org/changeset/100932

Cheers,
Sean

the bug described in the original post here is the same problem i am now facing but in SS 2.4.7 where the offending code in sapphire\core\model\SiteTree.php has already been replaced.

Can anyone please help? I can find no other reason why my CMS admin falls over when the subsites module is installed.
