When user changes a setting in Easy Profile there is lots of variables that are dropped in #__session table and data column. This forces user to log out and log in again to access restricted parts of our website again. It also messes up the phpbb forum link.

For example it drops

s:6:"groups";a:2:{i:2;s:1:"2";i:21;s:2:"21";}s:5:"guest";

and replaces it with

s:6:"groups";N;s:5:"guest";

and it also drops

phpbb with several parameters.

Please fix this ASAP so that session variables are not dropped.

ah ok.
Why? I don't know

This code prevent that some Joomla user plugin change dynamically and temporary (temporary because this is not stored in DB) usergroups. You need to leave this code for security purpose.

To change usergroups there are dedicated Joomla APIs.

Hi,
I will continue to search for the error. Do you know why group parameter is dropped by Joomla?
Yes, found!
see at file components/com_users/models/profile.php, at line 396 there is this code:
$user->groups = null;

This code is into save() function, so it is launched on update profile. Why? I don't know :D

Hi,
If a user with several user groups updates a profile detail then the session details get dropped for you too?

No, only group parameter, but there are _authGroup and _authLevels variables in session table. this happened even without Easy Profile
Can you reproduce the error?

this is not a error, it is a Joomla behavior. permissions(groups and ACL) are not lost.
It is not related to Easy Profile?

problem of session table not, but maybe you have some wrong condition in some field that assign or remove some usergroup.
you can make a simple test to try if this depends from Easy Profile, go into extensions->plugins search for "Easy Profile", disable all plugin. with this Easy Profile not do nothing.


you have mentioned PhpBB, this is not a Joomla component it is a standalone forum (I think) so I suppose you use some bridge, you could request support to bridge provider?
