[Solved]: Admin for CPG 1.3 but no Admin rights in phpBB

[Chunky C]

Can I make an Admin for CPG 1.3 integrated with phpBB 2.0.8 where the CPG admin doesn't have admin privileges for the board?  I'm guess not.

Not using the standard interfaces, no.

[Chunky C]

grrrrr.

I know I should as this at the phpBB but ....

Do you know of a "non-standard" interface (read as MOD)?

[Nibbler]

Just a minor change to includes/init.inc.php,

replace

Code Select Expand

define('GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE', USER_IS_ADMIN && $USER['am']);

with

Code Select Expand

define('GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE', (USER_IS_ADMIN || USER_ID == xxx) && $USER['am']);

You can put someone's id in xxx to give them admin mode, but it's not really a clean way to do it.

Thanks Nibbler.  I gave it a try and it does work.

Heip!

I tried, it's working well.

However, I would like to use GROUP_ID (phpbb) instead of USER_ID. Because then it's much easier to add some more people to a group of admins (under phpbb group).

Do you know how I can use phpbb group id?

Ive used this for other things with my phpbb guildsites - will take some tweaking but I think will do what you are looking to do.
