User Ranks and Mod Perm's will not assign - 7.2 patched v2.3

draxx · Worker Joined: Nov 19, 2003 Posts: 186

I am using a fresh install of 7.2 and the 7.2 patch from chatserv - ver 2.3

My user ranks and moderator permissions will not assign.

I set the speical rank for a user ... but it does not stick.

I try to make a user a moderator and it says "permissions updated" but the user doesnt get the permission no matter how many times I do it.

Any suggestions?

I will check on the files and post back.

Thanks chatserv!

You can have admin access to the site if you find it is necessary and it will help.

Does anyone have any idea why it does this? Am I the only one who can't assign special ranks and moderators with 7.2 ??

How are you going about it?
I'd try
create a group
set access for the group
add users to the group
check users level of access
adjust accordingly

I don't think your the only one who has trouble with it.
I think everyone has trouble with it at times its an awkward process.

I haven't been able to reproduce this so there's nothing i can edit in the files.

This is what I do to assign a speical rank:
Edit user (from forum admin)
Assign Special Rank
Click on save. It says "Users already exists" and has the name of the 1st user in the name field.

When I try to make someone a moderator I
1 Edit User Permissions
2 Change "not moderator" to moderator.
3 Click on submit.
It says "User permissions updated". But when I reload the user the permissions are the same... it was as if had never done this.. it still says "not moderator"

Your welcome to come on over chatserv.

I will PM you site and admin info.

I guess I read the problem wrong and that means its time for this one to hit the rack!

Are you using a default theme to verify its not a theme issue?

Grasping here! G'night...

I am using default forum theme (subsilver?) and .. 3d-fantasy... a default nuke theme.

This is a fresh install of 7.2 with the 2.4 patch installed. I think I installed the site-info block and the resend email block - and thats about it.

I used to get the sql error that has been mentioned before the patch - and that did go away with the install of the patch.. but the permissions were still disfunctional.

You could (If you have an extra one available) try creating a new database clean just to make sure there wasn't a missing or corrupt table. save your config and point a new one to the new database.

Or just running check tables from phpmyadmin would tell if there was a corrupt one.

Everything's worth trying to try this, open user_cp_register.php and find:

Code:

SET " . $username_sql . $passwd_sql . "user_email = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $email) ."', user_icq = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $icq) . "', user_website = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $website) . "', user_occ = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $occupation) . "', user_from = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $location) . "', user_interests = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $interests) . "', user_sig = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $signature) . "', user_sig_bbcode_uid = '$signature_bbcode_uid', user_viewemail = '$viewemail', user_aim = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", str_replace(' ', '+', $aim)) . "', user_yim = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $yim) . "', user_msnm = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $msn) . "', user_attachsig = '$attachsig', user_allowsmile = '$allowsmilies', user_allowhtml = '$allowhtml', user_allowbbcode = '$allowbbcode', user_allow_viewonline = '$allowviewonline', user_notify = '$notifyreply', user_notify_pm = '$notifypm', user_popup_pm = '$popup_pm', user_timezone = '$user_timezone', user_dateformat = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $user_dateformat) . "', user_lang = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $user_lang) . "', user_style = '$user_style', user_active = '$user_active', user_actkey = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $user_actkey) . "'" . $avatar_sql . "

Replace with:

Code:

SET " . $username_sql . $passwd_sql . "user_email = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $email) ."', user_icq = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $icq) . "', user_website = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $website) . "', user_occ = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $occupation) . "', user_from = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $location) . "', user_interests = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $interests) . "', user_sig = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $signature) . "', user_sig_bbcode_uid = '$signature_bbcode_uid', user_viewemail = $viewemail, user_aim = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", str_replace(' ', '+', $aim)) . "', user_yim = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $yim) . "', user_msnm = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $msn) . "', user_attachsig = $attachsig, user_allowsmile = $allowsmilies, user_allowhtml = $allowhtml, user_allowbbcode = $allowbbcode, user_allow_viewonline = $allowviewonline, user_notify = $notifyreply, user_notify_pm = $notifypm, user_popup_pm = $popup_pm, user_timezone = $user_timezone, user_dateformat = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $user_dateformat) . "', user_lang = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $user_lang) . "', user_style = $user_style, user_active = $user_active, user_actkey = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $user_actkey) . "'" . $avatar_sql . "

Then try changing a user's perms, if nothing changes undo the change.

I've gotta brand spanking new install of phpNuke v7.3 w/ nothing on it but PHP-Nuke Patched v2.4 & Raven's HackAlert. I'm Xperiencing the Xact same prob's here. I can't assign Moderator's in the Forum. I 2 am also going through User Permissions & simply changing a given forum from Not Moderator 2 Is Moderator. It says that it saves the changes & says 2 click here 2 return. Unfortunately, it's not actually Saving the changes when U go back in2 the User Permissions & check.

I did try replacing the code ChatServ (/includes/usercp_register.php) but w/ no effect Sad

If U like, I can also give U my WebSite's info. I dunno Shocked

Help! Thanx Embarassed

Nope, no change @ all Crying or Very sad

I've noticed that it's setting of any permissions of a given user. ie.) I'm also unable 2 Allow/Dissallow Access 2 Private/Hidden Forums either. Although I'm not very affected by it since I grant that on a Group Basis. Moderators unfortunately is on an individual basis, 4 me anyways Sad

P.S.
I don't suppose it'd B something stupid like the changing of table names from upper 2 lower case is it? Like I said, it's just not saving any changes.

Help!

No idea, with the file i posted above i can change user status to moderator, admin or normal user without problems, pm me your site's url and if possible create an admin account with access to the forums and a username you wish to make moderator so that i can test it, i might need ftp access as well.

For anyone else having this problem first upload the following file:

Only registered users can see links on this board!
Get registered or login to the forums!

If you still can't change a user's perms then use this fix:

Only registered users can see links on this board!
Get registered or login to the forums!

Follow the instructions detailed in the download's description, once done delete it from the server but keep the new admin_ug_auth.php file.

The script i used assigns a group to each user which is required for their permissions to be changed.

draxx · Worker Joined: Nov 19, 2003 Posts: 186

Yes this was the problem with private forum permissions.

The script was required - and did the trick!

Thanks chatserv!
