Hello,


I posted this in the Benefactors forum but I think it needs to be opened up to the floor as it is rather urgent as it breaks sites that are using my HomePage module when upgrading to 4.3.1:


I used to have method that created a new role:

            RoleInfo roleInfo = new RoleInfo();
            roleInfo.PortalID = portalID;
            roleInfo.RoleID = Null.NullInteger;
            roleInfo.RoleName = HomePageEditRole;
            roleInfo.Description = "Smart-Thinker HomePage Role - Do not edit/delete!";
            roleInfo.ServiceFee = 0;
            roleInfo.BillingPeriod = 0;
            roleInfo.BillingFrequency = "";
            roleInfo.TrialFee = 0;
            roleInfo.TrialPeriod = 0;
            roleInfo.TrialFrequency = "";
            roleInfo.IsPublic = false;
            roleInfo.AutoAssignment = false;
            roleInfo.RoleID = roleController.AddRole(roleInfo, false);
            return roleInfo;

According to the documentation, the AddRole method with the Synchronisation param has been deprecated, so I replaced it with this:

            RoleInfo roleInfo = new RoleInfo();
            roleInfo.PortalID = portalID;
            roleInfo.RoleID = Null.NullInteger;
            roleInfo.RoleName = HomePageEditRole;
            roleInfo.Description = "Smart-Thinker HomePage Role - Do not edit/delete!";
            roleInfo.ServiceFee = 0;
            roleInfo.BillingPeriod = 0;
            roleInfo.BillingFrequency = "";
            roleInfo.TrialFee = 0;
            roleInfo.TrialPeriod = 0;
            roleInfo.TrialFrequency = "";
            roleInfo.IsPublic = false;
            roleInfo.AutoAssignment = false;
            roleInfo.RoleID = roleController.AddRole(roleInfo);
            return roleInfo;

But the role is not created for some reason. RoleID is -1, and the role is not in the database. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? Are there any caveats to bear in mind when doing programatic role/user manipulation (my HomePage module creates a new role and tab and has stopped working so I am trying to convert all my methods but I am not having much luck)

Thanks

Try setting the RoleGroupId to -1 or Null.NullInteger => "GlobalRoles"

Otherwise you are doing exactly like the core does, so it should work

 

EDIT: let me know if it works, I just realized I will need to add roles programmtically tomorow in my project

I also noticed you may not want to forget to call this:

DataCache.RemoveCache("GetRoles")

 

resulted in some funny behaviour otherwise
