Greetings Pro's,
I have what I would call an emergency with my site, www.madd-talent.com . Today, when I logged into the back-end of my site, I had a new upgrade notice from JomSocial. I did the upgrade and after it was complete, I worked on the site building a new page for CoreJoomla Quiz and that was all I did. I logged out, shut down my computer and did not return until just now when I came online to do some more work and realized I could not log into the front end of my site with any of my accounts. I have 3 accounts for various purposes. 1 for admin work, 1 for editor work and 1 as a regular registered member. I will list all three accounts below in the Misc. Information in case you care to verify this. No one can log into my account and I have no clue what has been done. No one has access to my back-end and the only thing that has been done at all today was the new JomSocial upgrade. Please look into this ASAP and get this fixed. I don't care to lose any of my members because of this.

Please and thanks,
David Martin

Hi,

it's a bug. for temporary fix you can turn off jomsocial redirect plugin OR edit:
/plugins/system/jomsocialredirect/jomsocialredirect.php, around line 143 you can find this code

private function login() {
    /**
     * @param   array  $credentials  Array('username' => string, 'password' => string)
     * @param   array  $options      Array('remember' => boolean)
     */
    $jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
    $credentials ['username'] = $jinput->get('username');
    $credentials ['password'] = $jinput->get('passwd');
    if ($credentials ['password'] == '') {
        //try to detect for joomla 1.6, 17
        $credentials ['password'] = $jinput->get('password');
    }
    $options ['silent'] = true; /* force turn true / false of login function instead error msg */
    $options ['remember'] = $jinput->get('remember');
    return JFactory::getApplication()->login($credentials, $options);
}

private function login() {
    /**
     * @param   array  $credentials  Array('username' => string, 'password' => string)
     * @param   array  $options      Array('remember' => boolean)
     */
    $jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
    $credentials ['username'] = $jinput->getString('username');
    $credentials ['password'] = $jinput->getString('passwd');
    if ($credentials ['password'] == '') {
        //try to detect for joomla 1.6, 17
        $credentials ['password'] = $jinput->getString('password');
    }
    $options ['silent'] = true; /* force turn true / false of login function instead error msg */
    $options ['remember'] = $jinput->get('remember');
    return JFactory::getApplication()->login($credentials, $options);
}

Albertus,
Thank you for letting me know this. I tried the temp fix, but I can't seem to locate the JomSocial redirect plugin. Also, so you know, my members can log in just fine. I also created a new account as a regular registered user and I can now log in just fine as well. I did change that regular user that I just created to a super user, but I don't care to keep that account any longer than I need to. I don't know where to find the fix code you shared with me to change it. Can you please tell me where this file is located so I can fix this please and also, when will this bug fix be out?

Thanks,

DAvid
