    I've run into a problem/bug with user activation. A couple users I added didn't get emails with an activation url (which is not the problem I writing about). I then went to the Forgot Password page. That generated an email to one of them with a link, but when he clicked on it Omeka returned the following error:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined method Omeka_Table::findByUrl() in /home/tipwmtwo/public_html/wdp/application/controllers/UsersController.php on line 93 .

    Any ideas?

    Many thanks.

    I have this same problem, and don't know the cause or solution, but a workaround that sufficed for me was to edit the user account as "super." From there you can change the password (leaving the old password blank), and then let the person know the username and password through other channels.

    An additional problem that appeared for me when I did this is that when submitting the password change I was asked as what user I wanted to make the change. I was offered two choices (both of which I had recently used as logins, myself as super and myself as admin), but neither of which was the user ID for the password I wanted to change. It doesn't seem to matter, as the password was successfully changed for the user ID I was editing.

    Hey, thanks for finding that error in the forgotten password script. We'll get to that one by the next release.

    About the user activation emails, was Omeka sending emails to some users but not to others, or was it just not sending emails at all?
