Install Issues in Cake 2.2.2

[Hitman0505]

Hey, I downloaded and set up Cake-Forum like described in the documentation. After I want to login my application I get this Fatal Error:

( ! ) Fatal error: Class 'ForumAppController' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\cake\app\Plugin\forum\Error\ForumExceptionRenderer.php on line 23

Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Wheres your login page at? Did you set that up?

[Hitman0505]

I've got a User Model and Controller already in my App and in there I've got the login page...

/*****/

public function login() { if ($this->request->is('post')) { $this->User->set($this->request->data); if ($this->User->validates() && $this->Auth->login()) { if ($user = $this->Auth->user()) { $this->User->Profile->login($user['id']); $this->Session->delete('Forum'); $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect()); } } else { $this->Session->setFlash(__('Ungueltiger Benutzername oder Passwort, bitte versuche es erneut!')); } $this->request->data['User']['password'] = ''; } }

/*****/

Is that okay?

[milesj]

So is that error appearing on the forum index?

[milesj]

Also, what forum version are you using?

[Hitman0505]

It doesn't appear on the index. I can load the login page and enter my user data and after I submit I get the error. And on every other Page a login is required.

I'm using the forum version 3.1.1 .

[milesj]

You sure its 3.1.1? ForumExceptionRenderer wasn't added until 3.2.0.

Can you check your error logs? Something else should be throwing an exception outside of the forum.

[Hitman0505]

Oh sry , you are right, i got 3.2.0.

The Utility plgin coudn't be loaded right, but thats ok now. I had to change folder name to 'Utility' and load it. Now i can log in and go to the index page of the forum but i have new error's

The Plugin userers does not exist because the UsersController is fully integrated in my app. Is there a way that the Forum does not need a plugin and uses the normal app?

EDIT :

Ok I managed the second part by setting

define('FORUM_USER', 'Users.User');

to

define('FORUM_USER', 'User');

but i'am still getting these error's on top of the forum index */-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strict (2048): Declaration of Setting::update() should be compatible with ForumAppModel::update($id, $data) [APP\Plugin\forum\Model\Setting.php, line 13]

And i have a question for better understanding, if i delete the "FORUM_USER" constant the utility plugin is getting errors in my controllers but the forum works fine, why?

/**/

/**/

/**/ EDIT 2:

I've got it up and running without errors now! For the errors of the first edit I added " = array()" to the beforeSave function in the named files so that it looks like this:

/_/ public function beforeSave($options = array()) { /_/

and in the setting Model I added the $id as it looks like it is supposed to: /_/ public function update($id,$data) { /_/

Thanks for your help anyways! I really appreciate your work as it is a great Forum plugin and it really saved me a lot of time!

Best Regards!

It looks you have STRICT error reporting on. I could easily fix those, but I swear I have that enabled also.

Whats your PHP version and error settings?

[Hitman0505]

My PHP Version is 5.4.7.

My Debug Level is 2: Configure::write('debug', 2);

And the Error handler looks like this:

Configure::write('Error', array(
    'handler' => 'ErrorHandler::handleError',
    'level' => E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED,
    'trace' => true
));

That were the default Cake settings... Are there any additional error settings?

[milesj]

Done!
