Description Tomasz G. Sienicki 2006-08-28 13:44:56 UTC When logging in is required to view pages and the Main Page is not made an exception, the software keeps reloading the Main Page (meta http-equiv="Refresh" set to itself) ad infinitum. You can see that at http://wiki.helion.pl/w/index.php/Strona_g%C5%82%C3%B3wna Comment 1 Rob Church 2006-08-28 14:23:40 UTC Cleanest approach is to add a check before calling OutputPage::returnToMain(), wherever the "user can read" check takes place, and ensure that the user can read the page we're returning to, otherwise, don't bother. :) Comment 2 Rob Church 2006-08-31 17:17:08 UTC Fixed in SVN trunk, r16307.
