Hi

I'd like to be able to adjust the moderator rights on my site, however these appear to be hardcoded.  It's strange because some of the forums i have created have moderators as admin and some dont...which obviously i'd like to change

is this at all possible?

thanks

Try creating a new group based on the Members group, then change this group's rights to your needs.

ok...so the moderator group is not useful then :)

Added 16 hours later:

so.....i created a new group called SiteMod and created it.  on checking it's right this is what i see...nothing with an X in it is editable, and as you can see some of the forums i can set the group to be admin of and some i can't....what's going on?

It looks like the same thing I got - when trying to create new groups on base of Moderators - too many stuff got locked...

But what bother me, is that twice i saw as after creating new categories moderators got locked on those new, even they are admins for default categories...

(i corrected that stuff in mysql 'cot_auth' - but that is dark side, Luke....;)

yeah i might have to correct it in the db manually - not something i really want to do tbh

I have seen this behavior before. I think it is related to upgrading your site from an older version of Cotonti or Seditio. Have you upgraded your site from an older version? If so, which versions have you previously had installed?

its a 0.9.10 installation that hasnt been changed, however I did create the site on a different host & migrated the database to the current..would that make any difference?

And what can i do to fix it, i dont mind going into mysql if needs be.

in my case, i saw that on clean installations of latest versions...

This bug has been annoying me for a while, but the cause is still unknown. Previously we thought that something gets wrong upon upgrade from Seditio, but as you say it happens on blank installs, then this statement is false.

It would be very appreciated if somebody noticed exact action after which previously unlocked permissions become locked. In this case we could find and fix it.

Anyways, even if the solve the reason, the only way to unlock the permissions is by running an SQL query.

May the Source be with you!

Had this with a fresh isntall of 0.9.10 (5-6 weeks ago) after cleaning the db and running install again it was fixed, that's why I didn't think much of it.

trust if you could give me the sql query required that'd be great.

Added 5 days later:

or if someone could tell me which table/setting the lock is in i'll manually go through my whole permissions :)

Sorry, forgot about this. Here is how to unlock everything for group #6:

UPDATE `cot_auth` SET auth_rights_lock = 0 WHERE auth_groupid = 6;

 

May the Source be with you!
