edit bio

[Sebastian]

Hi,

Sorry, still using Version 4.1.3. After adding and deleting several users, I noticed that editing the bio in edit_profile.php had no effect, i.e. nothing has been written to the data base.
Thus, I found that in the data base in the profiles tab, the id and the user_id can differ.
So I think that in edit_profile.php the data base update has to use the id and not the user_id.
A change of

Code:

$db->update('profiles',$userID,$fields);

to

Code:

$db->update('profiles',$thisProfile->id,$fields);

worked for me.

Cheers,
Sebastian

Hmm. Interesting. I was pretty sure that was patched. Is there a reason you can't patch to 4.1.5?

[Sebastian]

Sure, I will patch to 4.1.5 soon. However, I have looked into 4.1.4b and 4.1.5 and I've not found a new edit_profile.php ... or did you fix this issue somehow differently?

[mudmin]

Well, I'm not in front of the code, so I'll have to look but either somehow you missed a patch somewhere along the way or I reintroduced a bug I've already fixed. That wouldn't be the first time. I did that in 4.2 also. Either way, thanks for pointing it out....I will definitely take a look.

[Sebastian]

Definitely, I will not exclude having missed a patch ;-) Thanks again for taking a look.

I did confirm that this bug was fixed a while ago and isn't in 4.1.5. I'll push it out anyway just in case I reintroduced it, but line 29 should read
$userID = $user->data()->id;

[Sebastian]

Thanks for checking that. I can also confirm that line 29 reads exactly as you mentioned. However it is still not clear to me. Have other users not observed these problems? As I said above, the userID cannot work in this case, if the DB id and the userID differ, thus I needed to use $thisProfile->id instead of $userID.
Or have you fixed this issue by guaranteeing that the DB id (in the profiles tab) and the userID always are the same?
