Masking Problems

[Jade Elizabeth]

Even with the ability to deny permissions it wont show up in the admin panel at all, I tried:

• on CORE
  
• mixed with other permissions such and managing permissions and members, no help
  
  It cannot be done through the administration center.
  
  
  In the test group I made (clone of reg members with the ability to manage and assign membergroups and moderate users) I was able to assign and unassign members from any group via the moderation center > view groups > pick a name .
  
  I dont know why it wont show up in admin, especially on CORE. There are no errors in the logs, and I'm not triggering any .
  
  
  Were these members ever able to do this? What changed?

They were able to do it before the upgrade to SMF 2 Beta 3.

I think this is a file rather than a database issue, yet you say you reuploaded the sources and theme files several times. I assume you uploaded from the fresh install?

I uploaded the sources and theme files for SMF 2 Beta 3.1 from the large upgrade package, if I am remembering righr

I just tested on my forum and I have the same issue. The only mods we have in common are the ad mods, stars and badges, and member colour link...

Testing on a FRESH (SMF 2.0 Beta 4 - DEV 20080430) install on my localhost...same issue. This is a bug in the software (reported id: 2126).

Bug #2126: Manage membergroup permission not working

! Users with permission to manage membergroups were not shown the manage membergroups button in the admin menu. (Admin.php) Revision 7212

Does that mean that the problem is in Admin.php?

Reuploaded admin.php, it didn't get fixed.

[metallica48423]

It wouldn't be fixed in the release until the next release

in Admin.php, find

I think that might have fixed it.

Now to wait to see if a person can make a mask

[bros]

It fixed it, thanks!

Now to see if we can fix the package error.

Start a new thread for that one, me and Oldiesmann have no clue if your permissions are set right (try doing it through FTP).

Already did, and double checked it via cPanel

[Jade Elizabeth]

Then we have no clue, that part of the code (according to Oldies) checks the permissions.
