add admin group from phpbb

[ask]

Hi

I have seen this question asked before, and followed the directions - but it does not seem to work!

I have coppermine V 1.4.10 installed and bridged to PhpBB v.2.0.22 and all (almost) seem to be working fine!

I wanted a group from the forum to be able to create and manage albums, and as this is not possible for non-admins i created a group in the forum for this.
The groups ID (according to the datebase) is 19. To give admin-rights to this added ", 19" to the admingroups as followes:

Code Select Expand

// Group ids - admin and guest only.
$this->admingroups = array(2, 19);
$this->guestgroup = 3;

to phpbb2018.inc.php

After this i ran the bridge-manager again to force the update and opened the groups-manager to do the same.

This does however not seem to have any effect - users that is members of the group with ID 19 does not get admin-rights (or the admin-menu-panel) does not appear!

Any suggestions?

Sorry - forgot to add some info:

Gallery: http://www.dgihavkajak.dk/galleri
forum: http://www.dgihavkajak.dk/forum
user: temp
pass: 1234

[ask]

No suggestions at all?

I'm also interested in setting a group to admin status without giving them admin status in the forum.  I tried looking in the database but setting has_admin_access in the table cpg1410_usergroups doesn't seem to do anything. Anyone have any ideas?

Should work this way.

[ask]

Anything I could have missed?
I tried this using two different groups, but with no result.

Is the temp user in group 19? Enable debug mode.

[ask]

nope, the temp user is not in group 19, as this would/should give the user admin rights in the gallery...

Debug mode gives the following when I log in with the user that should get admin-rights:

Then undo the code mod and put the user in group 19. Also are you using the 'post based groups' feature?

[Nibbler]

Try 119 instead of 19

[ask]

The user temp is now i member of the group with ID 19, and the mod has been removed.

Try making group 19 the primary group for the user.

[ask]

I do not know how to change the groups order from the phpbb-admin-interface, but I have changed the group order in the SQL-table. Again this doen't realy seem o have any effect.

Now I am also experiencing problems with changing the bridging settings. I think I am going to have to try to remove the installation completely and reinstall coppermine.

It seems (as you mentioned) to be related to the way PHPbb puts users in groups. When you register the user automiticalli gets his/her own group (i guess for rights-management) and putting the user in i speciel group just add's an additional gruop.

I ended up solving the problem using a bir from this topic. I added:

Code Select Expand

// MOD - add manual admin access
$mod_usergroups = explode(',',substr(USER_GROUP_SET,1,-1));
$mod_allowedgroups = array('[b]group number[/b]');
$mod_validuser = (array_intersect($mod_allowedgroups,$mod_usergroups) ? true : false);
define('USER_IS_ADMIN_MANUAL', $mod_validuser);
define('GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE', (USER_IS_ADMIN || USER_IS_ADMIN_MANUAL) && $USER['am']);
// MOD - end

to init.inc.php and it works. The next thing would be to modify the rights of the group using the hints from the mentioned thread.

Thanks for the help!
Jacob
