Serious Problem

[Sol]

I need to re-admin myself after de-admining. How would I go about doing that ? I presume I'd need to do it via PHPMYADMIN. But what variable in what part of the database do I need to edit ? It's pretty serious seeing as the forums don't have an admin ATM.

members -> you -> ID_GROUP 1

I went into the members part of the database and now I have the following parts to go into:

ID_MEMBER
memberName
dateRegistered
posts
ID_GROUP
lngfile
etc.

Yes, find your entry in the table, and change ID_GROUP to have a value of 1. F that's too complicated just run this:

Code Select Expand


UPDATE smf_members SET ID_GROUP = 1 WHERE emailAddress = '[email protected]'

Putting your email address in the quotes

THANKS SO MUCH. Now I want to know a couple of other things. Mainly I want to make this Administrator INVISIBLE. So he shows up as a member while having admin powers.

I can't edit the group because I have other admins I don't want to appear as members.

Put admin as secondary membergroup.
