I need to let guests post ads...

rcarroll59 · April 2nd, 2008, 10:37 AM

This is a phpbb3 integration. I have usergroups & categories set to allow posting by guests. Are there other settings I need to check?

I've noticed that my PhotoPost Pro installation, which works fine, has an Anonymous user in the photo_users table. My classifieds installation does not have that user in it's pp_users table. Is that okay?

Thanks

should be fine we dont use the pp_users table your integrated with phpbb3 and we use the permissions you set in edit usergroups and users are authenticated from the phpbb3 user table

I have the "Guests" usergroup set to allow ad posting, but it's not allowing them that. Any ideas on where to look for the problem?

I do not show guests have been allowed to post

Usergroup 1 has permissions set under edit usergroups right?

In Classifieds Admin -> Edit Usergroups, allow posting & comments are selected for the GUESTS usergroup.

In my pp_usergroups table, GUESTS is group id 4860 and has the uploads & comments variable set to 1 like other usergroups that are allowed to post.

Guests usergroup in phpbb3 is usergroup 1 so group id of 1 in your photopost usergroups table should be set to upload comment

Thats your problem your not setting guests to post or comment.

I don't have any groups in the pp_usergroups table with an ID of 1. I did temporarily change the id of the guests group to 1, but that didn't help either.

The guests usergroup's ID is listed as 4860 in the classifieds & photopost pro's usergroup table,as well as in phpbb3's groups table.

All I can tell you is what a guests usergroup is in phpbb3 non hacked install because I wrote the integrations and what we set them to in photopost.

It is indeed usergroup 1 in a brand new phpbb3 install

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

It's a fresh phpbb3 install, but has had the conversion ran to convert and fill the database with an existing phpbb2 forum. Evidentally that process can change group id's because I just checked the older phpbb2 database and it does have a group called anonymous with an id of 1.

Got any other suggestions?

You can try changing this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

to maybe this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

but not sure if that would work

You can send me server info to take a look
