Fatal error: Call to undefined function user_access()

Function http://api.drupal.org/api/function/user_access/6 is defined in modules/user/user.module (http://api.drupal.org/api/file/modules/user/user.module/6/source). Either this file is missing, or perhaps it was missing and as a result has been disabled in the {system} table in the DB. The value of status should be 1.

"undefined function user_access()" means that Drupal
- either didn't find the user.module file at the place where it should be (under /modules/user/)
- or it couldn't read it (because it was damaged, or because its permissions were less than 644, or because the permissions of it directory were less that 755, or for some other reason).

I get the same error with the newest stable release of this module. I am running Drupal 6.13 and the permissions on the folder and files are correct (Folder 755, file 644).

I cannot reproduce it.

What's your previous version visitors module?

This was a new install for me. I did not have any previous version of this module installed.

Execute sql query: show create table visitors.
What is your modules list?

Drupal still fires hook_exit() even on cached requests. In visitors.module:

function visitors_exit() {
  if (!(variable_get('visitors_exclude_administer_users', 0) &&
      user_access('administer'))) {

If this is a cached request, and hence not a full bootstrap, the user.module is not loaded and user_access() is undefined.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Turn on page caching & use visitor.module defaults
2. Log out
3. View a page more than once
4. See undefined function error

Fixed to 6.x-0.22.

Still the same error on 6.x-0.29

confirming Pol's report ... still a problem with version 6x.029.

Confirmed Pol's and rkodrupal reports: Error is still in php site logs. Any news on this issue?
Error in line 267 file visitors.module

Fixed to 6.x-0.30.

I will test it and report as soon as I can

Thanks

BTW I was just reviewing the cvs messages in file "visitors.install" is there a chance that you misspelled the translation string you have just added --> st() instead of t() in line 14 ?

No.

http://api.drupal.org/api/function/st/6

Hardcoded function for doing the equivalent of t() during the install process, when database, theme, and localization system is possibly not yet available.

I confirm the issue has disappeared.

Sorry for thinking of a typo. I should have checked drupal api first before reporting. Thanks for this excellent module.

I am opening another thread to report another issue I met while looking into this and sharing a translation file (to be reviewed because probably it is based on an old pot file.
