Summary ⇒ Error in Weather.com portal block
Queue ⇒ Horde Base
1. Fresh install of Horde from debian package 3.0.9-2
2. Make sure that one of the requirements for the Weather.com Portal
Block is broken (allow_url_fopen=false, or missing Cache or
Services_Weather).
3. Log into Horde
4. Navigate: Horde -> Layout
5. Drop-down: "Horde: weather.com"
6. Click "Add"
The expected "Error: The weather.com block is not available." now
shows up. This is good.
Next do the following steps without logging out of Horde:
7. Delete the weather.com block.
8. Fix the missing requirement from step
#2.9. Navigate: Horde -> Layout
10. Drop-down: "Horde: weather.com"
11. Click "Add"
The error "Error: The weather.com block is not available." is still
displayed. This is not the correct behavior.
Workaround: Log out of horde and log back in. Once this is done, the
error will be gone.
The issue appears to be that the portal configuration is stored in the
session, and will never be regenerated (even if the block is removed
and re-added).
The workaround isn't hard, and once it's done it's fixed permanently,
but it took me two hours to realize that's what I had to do to fix it.
If nothing else, hopefully this bug report will save somebody else
those two hours.
This probably affects any other portal blocks which display similar errors.
