Strange event - anyone else had the problem

[alroross]

I had a case where I published a site using phpWCMS which I developed using Mozilla brand browsers.

I set up a user account for another administrator who logged in from an XP machine using IE (not certain of release). The user had problems with browser config and was repeatedly thrown to the login screen.

After a few occurances of this - all of the content disappeared except the index page.

The data was still in the mysql database but the fileds indicating that content and articles had been deleted were set to 9 instead of 0 - thank God for PhpMyAdmin - used it to edit database and recover all of the site content.

I have no idea what caused the problem in the first case and am wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

I have solved this problem and therefore this is not a support request just an odd thing that I wanted to report to the community. I doubt it has anything to do with phpwcms as such - but am suspicious of the browser and OS involved.

normally there is no difference between Mozilla or IE or Safari regarding backend buttons and so on. I guess your customers has deleted a bit too much - maybe whole structure level. And wild clicking trash can icon - the result you know...

Often people can not tell what they did wrong (and try to lie) - and often are not willing to wait until something is processed or screen is rebuilt in total (or whatever).

Thanks Oliver,

Could be a bad button click I guess - the machine in question was a laptop with the nifty touch pad that could have registered clicks that were not planned. Managed to scare the person involved out of messing about with the site.

Apart from my little operator error glitch I have found phpwcms to be very easy to use and able to do what I need.

It is a very good way to develop and manage web sites - thanks for your effort in developing it.
