I can't see the Appearance and Administration section

Post by formiconi »

Hi to all,

I have just updated Serendipity from 0.8 beta to 1.1 and all was ok, non error in installation.
The problem is that from Adminitrator Suite page i don't see the Appearance and Administration sections!
I have had this problem since the last version 0.8, these sections disappeared "one day", i am not able to make any diagnosis about it.
Perhaps i have lost some permissions...

Thanks to all for the patience :oops:

Hi!

Maybe your user is not with Admin privileges anymore? Can you check the serendipity_authors DB table and see what the 'userlevel' attribut is set for your user?

Hi!

That means you are only a simple editor! You must set userlevel to 255 to be an admin.

I put userlevel =255 but it's all the same.
I see also that right_puiblish is = 1, perhaps something wrong?

thaks you again

I made some change in the tables:

group_config : some voices put to "true"
authors : userlevel = 3

now it'seems to work

Hi!

The reason must have been that the upgrade to s9y 0.9 introduced authorgroups, and s9y recognized you as an editor user only, so it only put you into the editor usergroups!

Glad to hear it should be working now!

HTH,
Garvin

I have the same problem. You said you changed some voices in true. Can you tell me what voices you changed?

Hi!

Check your serendipity_authors table and see if 'userlevel' of admin users is set to '255' there.

Also check the table serendipity_groupconfig if all entries for group "3" are set to 'true'.

At last, check the serendipity_authorgroups table if for your authorid there's a reference to the groupid "3".

HTH,
Garvin
