Group Guests - could not be named to Anonymous

[GuidoR13]

Hello,

I observe a strange behavoiur in my CPG 1.4.2 gallery (which works very good):

1. Switching to the Groups panel in admin mode
2. CPG tells me at my unregistered user group (named "Guests") with a red cross "Reset to default name (Anonymous) - recommended"
3. I do this, I apply modifications
4. I check the DB with phpMyAdmin, yes group's named "Anonymous"
5. I go back to the Group panel, and THE GROUP'S NAMED "Guests"
6. I check with phpMyAdmin, CPG is correct the group's name is again "Guests"

Seen with any template, in any language and regardless of the setting allow anonymous/guest is on or off - Peculiar, isn't it.

Guido


P.S. I did not post the debug info, because CPG states only to post if wanted....

DISCLAIMER: I advise you NOT to do this if you are bridging Coppermine with another app, as I am not sure whether or not this change will affect anything in the bridging. I believe though that this is merely a small typo, as from what I've seen in the code, coppermine.inc.php only gets used if bridging is not enabled. It would be good if a dev could confirm this.

Find line 408 in bridge/coppermine.inc.php:

Code Select Expand

    $udb_groups = array(1 =>'Administrators', 2=> 'Registered', 3=>'Guests', 4=> 'Banned');
Change 'Guests' to 'Anonymous'.

To the devs:
"Guests" is also used on line 489 in udb_base.inc. Maybe it's supposed to be that way, just wanted to let you know if that's not the case.

THAT WORKS FOR ME (unbridged CPG 1.4.2)

Thank you, Guido

I have the new version now, 1.4.3 and upgrade it. but, as before, the groups don't likes to be changed.
even if i put my own groupnames as default in groupmgr.php, my groups and settings on the page groupmgr.php is changing from time to time.

not just the names on the groups, even the other settings like quota in KB changes.... I've tried to change in my MySQL, and in coppermine.php in /bridge/... nothing seems to help.

what can i do to get this(my changes) permanent?

no one? =\
