Do Postnuke user permissions work in pnCPG?

[erik-osaka]

Here's a brief introduction:
Decided to integrate coppermine in my PostNuke site: think its great.  I've installed CPG, uploaded photos, initialized it in postnuke (with pnCPG), fixed the double scroll-bar problem and changed encrypted passwords to '0' in order to sync my login.

Here's what works:
I can see coppermine in postnuke. I can navigate it. When I log into postnuke I am also logged into coppermine(applied patch to database: password_encryption='0').  Guests are also able to view coppermine gallery.

Here's the problem:
When I log into my postnuke site using my admin account I do not have any admin privileges in coppermine. Also, because Ive synced my PN and CPG user tables I can no longer log into Coppermine with the admin account I used to create it originally...

Here's my question:
How can I fix my site so that my admin privileges from postnuke account also apply to coppermine?

oh yeah. I'm running
Pn .61
CPG 1.4.6
pnCPG33

Here's the fix:
1. Go to the Coppermine database using phpMyAdmin or soemthing similar
2. Browse the usertable
3. Find the admin account
4. Make sure the field user_group is set to 1

Here's my question:
Why not used the option of using a dynamic user field which takes you away from adjusting default Database settings and ensures direct access ?

Hey, thanks dude, worked like a charm!!  Really pleased because I WANT to use coppermine (was using My eGallery, but has too many bugs, and no search) and now that we can admin we can enter the final testing phase

As for:

Here's my question:
Why not used the option of using a dynamic user field which takes you away from adjusting default Database settings and ensures direct access ?

Why? because I have no idea what that means or how to do it...  Sounds good though, I'll give it a shot if you have time to explain what/how it works   In anycase, got things working pretty well already, so thanks again!!

For explaining Dynamic User fields you should check the Postnuke forums, there is enough info and better than I can explain it.
If you like it, in the pnCPG documentation you find info how to enable this.
