Front page gives PHP error

Joachim, I tested the functionality on a fresh install of Drupal 5.7, posted a comment and viewed the frontpage while logged in and logged out out. I can't get that error to appear on my install. Perhaps the hook_init function is getting called before the user module has loaded on your install?

Try pasting the code below before this code $roles = user_roles(); in the ipauth_init() function.

  if (!function_exists("user_roles")) {
    drupal_load("module", "user");
  }

So once you finish that the ipauth_init function should look like:

function ipauth_init() {
  global $user;
  // Get all of the roles
  if (!function_exists("user_roles")) {
    drupal_load("module", "user");
  }
  $roles = user_roles();

  // Get the list of roles to assign based off of the IP
  $result = ipauth_get_ip_authenticators($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], "roles");
  
  // Loop through the results and apply the new roles.
  while ($row = db_fetch_array($result)) {
    $user->roles[$row['roles']] = $roles[$row['roles']];
  }  
} // end function ip_authenticator_init

I've got the same problem going on.

I saw the that the code checked for function_exists("user") and tried changing it to function_exists("user_roles"), but I'm getting the same error that is mentioned above.

nevermind - I didn't see that the patch was commented out. teach me to use an editor without highlighting.

but I did have to uncomment the patch to get it to work.

Code Rader, I have updated the code to not be commented out.
