[Xerte] Re: ERROR: insufficient editing privileges

[Dave Burnett]

My shot in the dark:
$buffer = file_get_contents($string_for_flash_xml);
$buffer is empty, possibly the file has not loaded yet.

Subject: [Xerte] ERROR: insufficient editing privileges

I’m still on XOT 1.8 (trying to move to 2) and running into intermittent ‘ERROR: Insufficient Editing Priviliges’ issues when trying to edit a LO.  This error message is in ‘EDIT.PHP’ and the trigger is on Line 234 as below in pink/yellow. It appears that the LO I’m trying to edit does not have ‘Editable=True’ set, however this problem is intermittent and only appears occaisonally. For instance, this morning I logged in as per usual and got the error (windows did multiple updates last night, not sure if that had any effect). Then I logged in as another user and it went away, when I logged in as the original user it was OK and the error did not appear.  I’m not good with PHP, can anyone tell me in plain language what this error is telling me, and when it happens how I might be able to overcome it? Thanks!RonM2BTW: almost done with a parts/modules html menu for XOT2, will wait for John’s page events to deal with dbase communications. From EDIT.PHP:                                                }else{                                                    /*                                                * Wiki mode - check to see if template allows anonymous editing.                                                */                                                                $string_for_flash_xml = $xerte_toolkits_site->users_file_area_short . $row_edit['template_id'] .
