Accessing PP admin panel

anthroa · October 18th, 2005, 07:07 PM

I have integrated VB3.5 PP and CMPS everyting seems to be working but its not immediately obvious how i access the PP admin panel

the direct link is one to the VB panel which is you would expect as its the keystone application - i was half expecting to see a link to PP in the vb panel or have it menus integrated into the vb panel as does cmps - is there mean't to be a direct link somewhere or am i just blind

thanks

In the Menu Bar on every PhotoPost page is a link to the Admin section - it's on the same line as the other PhotoPost menu options.

the user cp only seems to go to the general user settings not the gallery settings which are located at /forums/usercp.php

Your issue would seem to be this below

1. Your admin is not usergroup 6 which is vb admin usergroup

I was going to say your usergroups entries maybe possibly where not imported from VB but they would have to be as your logged in

View your photopost usergroups table and set cpaccess to whatever usergroup that user is in.

Usergroup 6 should have a cpaccess of 1 already set at least we set it to 1 on a new install

Chuck - well i tried via phpMyAdmin to look at this table buts its grayed out see attached - i am i not doing this correctly or maybe no records have been written to the table

i can insert something if so what exactly ?

try inserting this and then you can refresh the others from edit usergroups

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

did that - still can't see access to the pp user & admin control panel just the forums access

view your usergroups table and tell me what usergroups are there and what there groupids are? Administrator should be 6 and have cpaccess set to 1

done that but still no cupie doll

i have taken the liberty to send you an email with some more details which might expedite things rather than playing forum tennis for too long - i have a person adding a new skin to the site and he is in the path of the hurricane i and i would like him to finish before he heads for the hills
