hi, yesterday i uninstalled my ipb2.0.3 to coppermine bridge, opting to go a different route (using another plugin to bridge coppermine to wordpress). the new bridge worked fine, with the exception that it threw my coppermine users and groups into chaos >:(
checking my user list, there's now an 'admin' user in the guests group and a user 'mattpist' (the former admin) in the 'validating' group. obviously, there is no way to change any of the user permissions now as i (mattpist) dont have enough priveliges. i guess there's a way i can go into the sql tables and fix this, but im not sure how. ive already uploaded (and captioned! ugh) almost 200 pics, so if i could avoid a reinstall, that would be great ;D
can i save my cp install? thanks for the help!
You can comment out the admin check on the groups page and then visit it directly in your browser. That should re-sync your groups.
groupmgr.php
if (!GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE) cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_errors['access_denied'], __FILE__, __LINE__);
to
//if (!GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE) cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_errors['access_denied'], __FILE__, __LINE__);
Remember to put it back afterwards.
Please note that neither the IPB2 bridge or the wordpress plugin/bridge you refer to are officially supported here.
