Unable to load user with ID: 42

Hi, I recently installed Joomla 2.5.6 to test FLEXIcontent and I noticed that in the frontend I get this error: JUser: :_load: Unable to load user with ID: 42

I have just one user registered (Super user) having ID:21 (In the future this may change again)

.

42 is the default super admin user ID for new J2.5 installations.
Which means that if it is now 21 that someone changed it.

This appears to be a Joomla issue.

Perhaps to simply test FLEXIcontent on J2.5 you may want to leave the user IDs alone.

.

I reinstalled Joomla, the Super user's id is now 803, reinstalled another time, it is 776.

I don't understand what do you mean with "leave the user IDs alone."

Joomla 2.5.6

I see, this must be a new feature of recent J2.5 versions, i guess for better security ...

Anyway, FLEXIcontent code for J2.5 does not have hard coded the loading of user with id 42, so your message must be coming from some other third party Content/System Plugin or so other module.

.
It appears the random super admin user ID was added in Joomla 2.5.5.

The error message could be from some content which was created with user ID 42.
This could be from some old sample data.
Or ???

It could also be from another extension which is expecting user ID 42.

As ggppdk mentions above, FLEXIcontent does not have this ID hardcoded anywhere, so the issue is coming from something else.

.

On rare cases that admin user id is needed FLEXIcontent code will not use a hard-coded value, instead it uses:

JFactory::getUser( 'admin' )->get('id')

-- Meaning it will use the userid of what your site has after installation

-- Furthermore userids are not changed after initial installation, so FLEXIcontent will work on all cases.

But various extensions were written with a hard-coded user-id for the admin user.

I have searched through code just i case i have missed something , please do this:

-- Make a fresh install of J2.5.6 and
-- then install ONLY FLEXIcontent and NONE other extension
-- then test

Does the error occur???
