Moved from FroumsPro to ForumsPlus permissions issue


We had a hack on our server over the New Year period and after rebuilding the site and realising forums pro wasn't being worked on. I felt the best thing to do was to leave forums pro.

So we have locked the forums pro and started setting up on the core forums with the forumspro upgrade.

There appears to be something wierd happening with the permissions I hope you can help.

In order to set someone as an administrator - I have to do this through the forumspro control panel.

If I set someone as an administrator in forums control panel it does nothing.

If I set someone as a moderator in forums control panel. Its fine but if I want to removge them as a moderator I have to do it through forumspro?

What do I need to hit to make it behave?

Thank you

I'll have a look.

To assist, can you provide the file links that are not working, and which links you have to use as an alternative.

I need those so that we both have the same understanding about the terms administrator and moderator.

Also which versions of ForumsPlus (presumably you also activated the upgrade?) and ForumsPro do you have.

I have ForumsPlus and and 2 instances of ForumsPro installed simultaneously and don't seem to have an issue.

Yes forums plus is installed - all the functions are available though not in our chosen theme (probably a conflict there not worried at this stage want to get it working nicely before I bother about colours)

Had to do the install by going into edit the forums module?

ForumsPlus version : 2.0.5
ForumsPro version: 2.0.3


Links not working in forumsplus
admin.php?op=Forums&do=ug_auth&mode=user

Link I have to use in Forumspro
admin.php?op=ForumsPro&file=auth_user

Hope this is ok - if not just let me know and I will provide more information

Both links function flawlessly here. In fact, the file concerned, admin_ug_auth.php is unchanged between Standard DF forums and ForumsPlus. I can only surmise that somehow ForumsPro is causing some interference, or that you have some missing table(s).

Forums, ForumsPlus and Forumspro all use the same tables:
cms_bbuser_group
cms_bbgroups

The difference comes when info is saved:
ForumsPlus updates cms_bbauth_access
ForumsPro updates cms_fpro_auth_access
That difference is exactly why they should happily work simultaneously.

As I state to people, ForumsPlus is simply an upgrade:
  • did you first have Forums installed before adding ForumsPlus?
  • did you then enter modules admin and click "Edit" to upgrade the installation?
  • do you get any sort of debug error info?
  • I can't help but feel that you are missing some part of the forum database table structure
