Public Access

Hi

I have got Thyme installed - so far so good. All seems to work reasonably well until I log out of admin and then I immediately get the log in message again.

I have tried to enable public access on the Admin > Users > Public Access screen but all I have is Guest Account (crossed out) and "***" in the other fields. If I click Enable then nothing happens. I have enabled Public access in calendar view but this is not making any difference.

Also, could you please explain - if I have more than one calendar set up, how do users view the different calendars. I thought there may be a drop down box to select a calendar but I can't see one.

Many thanks!

Hi me again!

Sorted the drop down calendar box problem - one less problem.

Hi northend,

It sounds like the Guest Account's id is off. Was Thyme's database info imported from another server?

If you have access to a MySQL client such as phpMyAdmin, please execute the following:

I'm having the same problem with guest account. What do I do with the code? I'm at the PHPMyAdmin.

Do I click on the Thyme database, then click "SQL" at the top, then select "Go " after pasting in the following code:

update thyme_Users set id = 0 where usierid = '_cal_default_';

I executed the command in MySQL and still can't get public access. Take a look at the site and let me know if I'm doing something wrong.

HI,

It looks like public access is enabled. I am able to view the site without logging in.

Then maybe my problem is different. I want users to be able to post an ad if they're not logged in. Is there a way to do this?

When I log myself out, and turn off Quick Post, I can't seem to post an ad.

Hi,

You can do this in Admin -> Calendars -> Members, change Public to have Normal access.

Thanks for the SQL tip...it worked for my Thyme installation as well.

I just wanted to point out that in the code, please change "usierid" to "userid" ...I didn't notice at first and put it in the SQL query and it returned an error. Just a note to help ease others frustration.

Thanks again! Great software and great support !

Thanks for pointing that out. I corrected the error.

I have this same problem:

I have tried to enable public access on the Admin > Users > Public Access screen but all I have is Guest Account (crossed out) and "***" in the other fields. If I click Enable then nothing happens. I have enabled Public access in calendar view but this is not making any difference.

I have tried the SQL statement but it did not work. I have recently changed the database to import data from a week old backup.

Hi Jasper,

If you look in phpMyAdmin the guest account is there, but the userid is probably different. Rather than '_cal_default_' it may say something like 'Guest Account'. You will have to browse the users table to find this. Once done, alter the query so that it matches the row. E.g. something like:

update thyme_Users set id = 0 where userid = 'Guest Account';
