#2831 closed Defect (fixed)
Widgets Quietly Fail When User Not Logged In

Description
In v1.7.6, if the user's login expires and they try to modify a widget, it should send them to the login page. Currently it fails silently with "no results found.".
This is probably a dup and/or has been fixed already.

moving this back to 1.7.8 since we're so close to 1.7.7 release

Don't think we can use 1.4.x .post() for this but will need to use .ajax()

(In [svn:9120]) Fixes #2831. Attempts to save widgets if not logged in displays an error instead of doing nothing.

Thanks for the report. I tested and can confirm this bug.
Mental note to self: the ajax post call is not checking the return value of the save action. It could check that at least provide an error message. Fowarding the user away from the dashboard/profile probably isn't the best idea as it can be very disconcerting to have your browser take you somewhere when you're not expecting it.
