Ask A Question module

I've got a problem with the Ask A Question module.

If I leave in the option to check to see if a guest is allowed to post, people not logged in can post a question, but customers logged in can't. Also, if I remove the checking for that because it's not setup to use it, I can get it to redirect to the login page, but customers who are logged in still can't post a question. A blank page loads instead of the form.

Any ideas what's wrong?

Thanks!

I fixed the problem! For those who also encounter this problem, there was an error with the sql statement that pulls the user's information. I had to edit the following file:

includes/modules/pages/ask_a_question/header_php.php

At the very top, I change the if statement from:

Code:

---

  if (!$_SESSION['customer_id'] && (ALLOW_GUEST_TO_ASK_A_QUESTION == 'false')) {
    $_SESSION['navigation']->set_snapshot();
    zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));
  }

---

to:

Code:

---

  if (!$_SESSION['customer_id'] && (ALLOW_GUEST_TO_ASK_A_QUESTION != 'true')) {
    $_SESSION['navigation']->set_snapshot();
    zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));
  }

---

Later down in the code I changed the first customer_id sql statement from:

Code:

---

      $sql = "SELECT customers_id, customers_firstname, customers_lastname, customers_password, customers_email_address, customers_default_address_id
              FROM " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . "
              WHERE customers_id = :customersID";
     
      $sql = $db->bindVars($sql, ':customersID', $_SESSION['customer_id'], 'integer');

---

to:

Code:

---

      $sql = "SELECT customers_id, customers_firstname, customers_lastname, customers_password, customers_email_address, customers_default_address_id
              FROM " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . "
              WHERE customers_id = " . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "";

---

Then the next customer_id sql statement I changed from:

Code:

---

  $sql = "SELECT customers_id, customers_firstname, customers_lastname, customers_password, customers_email_address, customers_default_address_id
          FROM " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . "
          WHERE customers_id = :customerID";

---

to:

Code:

---

  $sql = "SELECT customers_id, customers_firstname, customers_lastname, customers_password, customers_email_address, customers_default_address_id
          FROM " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . "
          WHERE customers_id = " . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "";

Uploaded the file to the server and was good to go. Of course, this assumes you are using the 1.3 version of the module and with PHP 5 and MySQL 5.

I hope that helps someone!
