HUGE problem! Please help! :( · **Released**: 02-21-2003

For some reason my forums permissions no longer work. Anyone can get into any forum, no matter what I have the permissions set at. I have access masks turned on and this is still a problem.

I also no longer see the onlock and offlock pics on the forum home when logging in as a guest.

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

The hacks I most recently installed are:

What was the last hack you installed? I would say try to uninstall it and see if that fixes your problem. Then at least you'll know what is causing it.

Last hack I installed was the store hack, but I believe this was happening before I added that.... it get's worse though, I now noticed that ANYONE can post, even guests, and ANYONE can delete threads... obviously you can see how this would be a problem... What php file controls permissions??

admin/forumpermission.php should be the one. I would try uninstalling the forumjump hack first and see if that fixes it.

I did uninstall it, but how do I undo the query:

ALTER TABLE forum ADD forumjump SMALLINT( 6 ) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL

?

I think you do this but please check it out for sure before you do anything.

ALTER TABLE forum DROP forumjump

Hmmmm, well does the "DROP" delete just forumjump? If so then it shouldn't be a problem... I think this actually started after I installed this hack, but other people seem to have no problems with it so I dunno... Can anyone confirm Boofo's idea? I don't wanna lose my entire forum... (Made backups just in case, but still) :ermm:

I usually go into phpmyadmin to do it but I think you should be ok (as long as you have a backup). You should just get an error if it is not right.

According to this you are right. I'll try it and see if anything happens.

Ok that worked fine... but my original problem apparently wasn't effected at all by that... hmm, I know for a fact that the store doesn't cause it because I reverted all php files that I changed with the store back to what they were before and I still had the problem... And forumpermission.php has never been changed, so that's not it...
