user edit page type doesn't validate appropriate

Hi,

When I use the User Edit page type in my pageroute it acts as if I am entering a new user and not updating an existing one. It gives me the validation error that "the username and e-mail already exist" when I submit the form to update. I wanted to ask firstly if this is what is meant by the "validation error" above and then I posted this question at the link above but have received no answer.

Can anyone help steer me in the right direction as to how and where to apply the patch given at the link above.

This is one of the final outstanding elements on a site that is otherwise complete and I would really appreciate any assistance anyone can give on this.

Thanks in Advance
Gregg

Hi Gregg. The patch at #109588 does fix the validation error you're asking about. It looks like you already found a patching screencast but take a look at http://drupal.org/patch/apply as well.

Thanks Christefano

When I finally learnt how to patch, the patch worked a charm and the validation error went away.

Thanks for your help

When I try a version of user.module with the above patch applied (drupal 5.7), I get several errors:

On a CCK type as the first step of a page route, I get these messages:
1. warning: Missing argument 1 for drupal_retrieve_form() in [pathfromroot]/includes/form.inc on line 179.

2. warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, '' was given in [pathfromroot]/includes/form.inc on line 218.

3. warning: uasort() [function.uasort]: The argument should be an array in [pathfromroot]/includes/common.inc on line 2140.

On entering the user/uid/edit page, I get this error message, and the user name field is not shown, neither is there an email address in the email address field:
- warning: Missing argument 2 for user_edit_form(), called in [pathfromroot]/modules/user/user.module on line 477 and defined in [pathfromroot]/modules/user/user.module on line 1307.

I attach a copy of the new user.module where the patch is applied, in case someone can spot something wrong (would like a confirmation if this the correct contents with the above patch)

Issue persists.
Apply the patch from the issue linked in the description.
