Problem with admin login

[MXBID]

Hi, I just purchased photopost classifieds and uploaded it to my server successfully. It has an integrated membership with vbulletin. [ and the vbulletin is /upload. I am having a problem with my admin section. Although I can log in there is no location to add or change categories. More importantly when i go to the shortcut which I would presume is the place to add categories it says I am not a valid administrator, and I have no clue how to make myself a valid administrator for this page. What is the best way so I can add categories? and become the administrator for the classifieds.

Thanks,
Jordan

had the same problem, and after finding out that i don't get help nor a reply from the support, i searched for myself. what i found is that the usergroup permissions in the classifieds are set wrong.

in my case, supermoderators had cpadmin set to 1 (which is yes), and administrators had it set to 3 (which is nothing, because only 1 and 0, yes or no are existent)

so what you will have to do is probably the same then i had to do, go to you phpmyadmin, in the classifieds_usergroups table look for administrator and check if cpaccess is set to 1, if not, edit that field and set it to 1, save. done...
you might check if your superadministrator field is set to 1 too, set this to 0 unless you want grant you superadmin access to the admin cp...

once you set the admin to 1, you can change the permission inside the classifieds admin cp though...

hope this helps, and sorry for my english

Thanks, this was also the case for me with my newest installation. This did the trick.

You meationed you never got help from support yet it is interesting to note you have never posted on the support forums until now. In fact this being your first post so I find it hard think that the case.

At any rate MXBID as noted Administrator's entry in the usergroups table needs to have a cpaccess of 1 and the groupid needs to be 6
