You can change that line to return ajaxify.go('/register'); then all forbidden pages will redirect to register. You can then change the register.tpl file.

Hi, thanks again @baris.

I just tried: return ajaxify.go('/register'); It didn't seem to work unfortunately.

Additionally, I now realize that the fix I said worked has a problem. While it redirects you to /403 if you type the home address into the browser, the links in the top left (home, recent, users) still work. Any idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks,
Aaron

Try :

function loggedIn(req, res, next) {
    if(req.user && parseInt(req.user.uid, 10)) {
        return next();
    }

    var allowed = ['config', 'get_templates_listing', '403', 'login', 'register'];
    if(req.params && allowed.indexOf(req.params.route) !== -1) {
        return next();
    }

    res.status('403');
    res.redirect('/403');
}
app.all('/api/:route/*?', loggedIn);
app.all('/api/:route', loggedIn);
app.get('/', loggedIn);

and

return ajaxify('register') in the template file. That works for me.

Hmmm...now if I click on those links, all but the header disappears. For example, if I click the users icon, the address changes to /users, but the screen goes blank except for the header.

Is it possible my problems have to do with my Redis store? I'm getting this readout from the terminal where I launched the redis server:

Make sure your browser cache is disabled when you are testing this. return ajaxify('register'); works fine for me but I got the same result you described when I tried return ajaxify('/register');.

About your redis issue looks like the user redis running under doesn't have permission to write to that location.

aaron

Thanks. That's what I figured, so I went to the directory with dump.rdb and did sudo chmod 777 dump.rdb and this is the output of ls -l:
total 16
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 5654 Jan 30 20:26 dump.rdb

Also, I definitely did register, not /register. So not sure what the problem is there.

I appreciate your taking the time to help me out with this!

    if(req.user && parseInt(req.user.uid, 10)) {
        return next();
    }

    var allowed = ['config', 'get_templates_listing', '403', 'login', 'register'];
    if(req.params && allowed.indexOf(req.params.route) !== -1) {
        return next();
    }

    res.status('403');
    res.redirect('/403');
}
app.all('/api/:route/*?', loggedIn);
app.all('/api/:route', loggedIn);

Looks like you don't need the last route. With the above code and the return ajaxify('register'); in templates.js it redirects to register for me. Let me know if it doesn't work.

aaron

It doesn't work for me. I put that block of code indented after the line:
app.namespace(nconf.get('relative_path'), function () {

I think this might be another caching issue, but it keeps forgetting who I am and I keep having to call flushall on the database and doing node app --setup again to be able to log in and test it.

I'm not sure why you are getting that permission error. @julian might have a better idea.

aaron

Okay, I figured out the Redis thing. The permissions for dump.rdb were fine. But I had to expand the permissions for the directory they were in (/redis).

Still having the same problem with the app though. The redirect to /register isn't working and I'm getting the white screen minus the nav bar instead of getting routed to /403 or /register.

julian

There's no reason why the dumpfile should be owned by root:wheel. Try shutting down redis, deleting dump.rdb, and starting redis again with sudo service redis-server start.

You should not need root to use redis-cli.

julian

What does the chrome inspector say when you are redirected to /register?

aaron

I never get redirected to /register.
Okay, thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try.

aaron

In response to:
sudo service redis-server start
I get:
sudo: service: command not found

Plus, that doesn't give me a way to specify my redis.conf file, right?

julian

@aaron It depends on how you installed redis. You'd use service if it was installed via apt-get, usually.

aaron

I'm on a mac so I think I used Brew to install Redis. What was starting it that way going to accomplish? Do you know another way? Thanks!

julian

Ah, when it comes to Macs, I probably know less than you do...!

aaron

Thanks @baris. Do you know what this warning signifies?
