I can't edit or delete stories when logged in as the Admin. Its says
"You aren't authorized to touch this Article!
You can't edit and/or delete articles that you don't published"

phpnuke 7.7 patched

everything else seems to work. I'm not sure what I missed or messed up.
any help would be great.

P.S. sorry if this has been covered I looked for the answer but had no luck.
Thanks.

Are you using the God account?

I belive so, But I am really new to this. So maybe not. If the God account is the one that I set up right after the phpnuke install then yes. If thats not it no. also if thats not it I don't know how to use it or where to set it up. Or if you could tell me how to check if I am or not that would help to.

You need to use phpMyAdmin to check your 'authors' table, verify that your 'name' field is set to 'God'

It seems that I have it right and I am using the god mode.
This is what it said phpmyadmin "nuke_authors"

You may need to check superuser level as well
The field 'radminsuper' in that table should be set to 1

Sorry I've been away from a computer for a couple days. The value in nuke_authors radminsuper is set to 1.

'radminsuper' should let you do this. I see no other checks in the code

Go check modules/News/admin/index.php
and see if you have the following checks

Code:

if (($radminarticle == 1) AND ($aaid == $aid) OR ($radminsuper == 1)) {

This is the code in the index file. I'm not sure if its right because its not exactly what you wrote.

if (!defined('ADMIN_FILE')) {
die ("Access Denied");
}

global $prefix, $db, $admin_file;
$aid = substr("$aid", 0,25);
$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT title, admins FROM ".$prefix."_modules WHERE title='News'"));
$row2 = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT name, radminsuper FROM ".$prefix."_authors WHERE aid='$aid'"));
$admins = explode(",", $row['admins']);
$auth_user = 0;
for ($i=0; $i < sizeof($admins); $i++) {
if ($row2['name'] == "$admins[$i]" AND $row['admins'] != "") {
$auth_user = 1;
}
}

if ($row2['radminsuper'] == 1) {
$radminsuper = 1;
}

if ($row2['radminsuper'] == 1 || $auth_user == 1) {
$adveditor=1;[/size]

Thanks

You'll want to look further down the code. If you cannot find that line exactly, then there is a problem

Nuke Cadet Joined: Jul 18, 2005 Posts: 6

So after reading the whole page. The line of code is there 5 times in diffent places. It is exactly the same.

thanks
