Admin loosing Access to modules

Donovan · Client Joined: Oct 07, 2003 Posts: 691 Location: Ohio

I added an admin to help me administrate some stuff on the site but when I tested his account I got the

Quote:

You do not have access to this page

I found this odd and was doing some research but came up empty. The next couple days I tested a coule different things but no luck. Today, since it is the start of a new month I went to my Nuke Treasury module and wanted to reconcile but I get the same message:

Quote:

You do not have access to this page

and I'm a superuser!

This has always worked before but now all of a sudden I get this error.

For the life of me I don't know what has happened. Nothing new has been installed for months now. I can still access several modules and admin them but I can't get into my Nuke Treasury module or add new administrators and get them to access modules that I have given them rights to.

This is strange.

/Edit

I run the Protector System for security.

Nuke Treaury readme states that it is accessable only by the God admin.

Ok now to end the confusion only the god admin is allowed to add admins.

So is this making a little more sense or is there more then just these 2 functions giving you grief?

Doesn't matter what account I use. The one I have always used or the God Account.

Donovan · Client Joined: Oct 07, 2003 Posts: 691 Location: Ohio

I just used the God Account and still the same issue with adding Admins. The new account get's the same message.

Ok then you might have an issue with the number of fields in the nuke_authors table not matching the number of fields in the /admin/modules/authors.php

You will have to take a structure only dump of the authors table and count the number of fields in the table. Then compare that with the number of fields in the insert and/or update fields in the /admin/modules/authors.php file.

If for some reason they match but I doubt they will try uploading the admin files over again.

I just noticed this {I run the Protector System for security.}

This is most likely the issue reread the install directions it looks like you missed a step.

I have been running Protector for 6 months now. Why would this issue reveal itself now, when I had no problems before.

I am new to Ravens Web Hosting and just arrived a month ago as a new client. I moved my site here from IPowerweb. Could something have gotten messed up with in the move?

I want to move my security to Sentinal, but have found no instructions on how to remove Protector anywhere. I guess I'll just reverse engineer the install instructions and see if that fixes it.

Thanks for your help.

Protector might not be the issue but I'd think that the fields are not matching most likely.
It would take only a few minutes to find out.

The case statment is where I add authors

Code:

case "AddAuthor":
$add_aid = substr("$add_aid", 0,25);
$add_name = substr("$add_name", 0,25);
if (!($add_aid && $add_name && $add_email && $add_pwd)) {
include("header.php");
GraphicAdmin();
OpenTable();
echo "<center>" . _AUTHORSADMIN . "</center>";
CloseTable();
echo " ";
OpenTable();
echo "<center>" . _CREATIONERROR . " "
."" . _COMPLETEFIELDS . " "
."" . _GOBACK . "</center>";
CloseTable();
include("footer.php");
return;
}
$add_pwd = md5($add_pwd);
$result = $db->sql_query("insert into " . $prefix . "_authors values ('$add_aid', '$add_name', '$add_url', '$add_email', '$add_pwd', '0', '$add_radminarticle','$add_radmintopic','$add_radminuser','$add_radminsurvey','$add_radminsection','$add_radminlink','$add_radminephem','$add_radminfaq','$add_radmindownload','$add_radminreviews','$add_radminnewsletter','$add_radminforum','$add_radmincontent','$add_radminency','$add_radminclan','$add_radminsuper','$add_admlanguage','')");
if (!$result) {
return;
}
Header("Location: admin.php?op=mod_authors");
break;

This is in my dump. It doesn't match any in my case statement.

`radminblocker` tinyint(2) NOT NULL default '0',

sixonetonoffun · Posted: Thu Feb 03, 2005 11:58 am

Ok something is strange here for sure because there are 23 or so in this function. None of which are the one I'd expect to see for the Protector.

The file looks about right for version phpnuke 7.3 but the authors table sounds more like 7.5-7.6 ??????

My dump

Code:

Ok wait don't do that then lol we crossed here.

Thats more then 9 fields.

sixonetonoffun · Posted: Thu Feb 03, 2005 12:14 pm

This should work for this function but we will have to fix the rest of the file too (the form part).

Code:

case "AddAuthor":
$add_aid = substr("$add_aid", 0,25);
$add_name = substr("$add_name", 0,25);
if (!($add_aid && $add_name && $add_email && $add_pwd)) {
include("header.php");
GraphicAdmin();
OpenTable();
echo "<center>" . _AUTHORSADMIN . "</center>";
CloseTable();
echo " ";
OpenTable();
echo "<center>" . _CREATIONERROR . " "
."" . _COMPLETEFIELDS . " "
."" . _GOBACK . "</center>";
CloseTable();
include("footer.php");
return;
}
$add_pwd = md5($add_pwd);
$result = $db->sql_query("insert into " . $prefix . "_authors values ('$add_aid', '$add_name', '$add_url', '$add_email', '$add_pwd', '0', '$add_radminarticle','$add_radmintopic','$add_radminuser','$add_radminsurvey','$add_radminsection','$add_radminlink','$add_radminephem','$add_radminfaq','$add_radmindownload','$add_radminreviews','$add_radminnewsletter','$add_radminforum','$add_radmincontent','$add_radminency','$add_radminsuper','$add_admlanguage','$add_radminblocker','$add_radminclan')");
if (!$result) {
return;
}
Header("Location: admin.php?op=mod_authors");
break;

Since I plan on upgrading to 7.5 soon and getting rid of Protector could I get away with just doing this as a temp fix, or do I have to fix the form as well?

Nobody else is a superuser on my site.

Why would this only effect Nuke Treasury?

sixonetonoffun · Posted: Thu Feb 03, 2005 12:42 pm

I can't say whats up with that one. To be honest I have no idea I've never used or even installed it for anyone.

For a real quick fix yes I'd remove the protector for Nuke Sentinel then you could drop the radminblocker field and the problem of admin authors would go away.

I don't think you'll gain much by an upgrade right now I'd wait until chatserv finishes the 2.9 patched series files and they've been tested a little before making a switch right now.

Well I took off Protector and installed Sentinal 2.1.3, but the problem remains.

Still can't access my Nuke Treasury. It says "You do not have access to this page" and part of the table is missing.

FOUND THE ANSWER!!!

I was having trouble getting into my Nuke Treasury but found this tidbit at

Only registered users can see links on this board!
Get registered or login to the forums!

I used to run their Protector system but switched to Sentinal. Anyway I quickly realized that this was the issue since I used to have Clan_Nuke on my site.

Quote:

Users that have Clan_nuke add-on are experiencing an error with limited admins.
This error causes a message “You do not have access to this page” when the Admin user is not a God.
But it's simple to fix. Just open the file /admin/links/links.clan.php then find the code line:
if ($radminsuper==1) { adminmenu("admin.php?op=ClanAdmin", "Clan_Nuke", "clan.gif"); }
else {die("You do not have access to this page");}
Removing the line else {die("You do not have access to this page");} will fix your problem.

This coding is quite useless, it only lets Superusers in and gives the others
“You do not have access to this page” text, removing it will NOT damage your Clan_Nuke Add-on.

Thanks for posting back. I'd have never guessed the admin link was at fault.
