Ok...next pudding question...
when an admin is added he can go everywhere without any problems but as soon as he goes to edit admins he gets a blank page.

there is no error,not with display errors....nothing,nada..

there is however a big difference between the old authors table and the new ravenuke authors table..

the old one..

Code:

 `aid` varchar(25) NOT NULL default '',


  `name` varchar(50) default NULL,


  `url` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',


  `email` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',


  `pwd` varchar(40) default NULL,


  `counter` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


  `radminsuper` tinyint(2) NOT NULL default '1',


  `admlanguage` varchar(30) NOT NULL default '',


  PRIMARY KEY  (`aid`),


  KEY `aid` (`aid`)


) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

and the new one...

Code:

`aid` varchar(25) NOT NULL default '',


  `name` varchar(50) default NULL,


  `url` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',


  `email` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',


  `pwd` varchar(40) default NULL,


  `counter` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',


  `radminsuper` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1',


  `admlanguage` varchar(30) NOT NULL default '',


  PRIMARY KEY  (`aid`)


) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

And in the authors table they have the same ID as god..

MM the old one looks to be an old version. Those fields aren't used in 7.6.. but the new one is 7.6

yes i figured that,but that doesnt answers the why admins get blank page when the click edit admins.

No error messages I guess?

Posted: Mon Mar 20, 2006 10:31 pm

absolutely nothing.

Two things:

1) Since the two tables are different, have you verified that the transferred data is valid in the new table? (probably ok).

2) Have you modified either admin.php, admin/modules/authors.php, mainfile.php or includes/nukesentinel.php and thereby possibly infused a parse error?

I have actually found that display errors does not help you with most parse errors (the "hard stuff"). Try uploading the above files again...

nope...that didnt help either.
i even uploaded the whole admin/modules folder just incase and all root files.
And looking at the authors table i cant see any difference or something missing either.
everything looks ok and the same as god account...but with different names.
and it lets you even into sentinel so its not rights problem...
anymore ideas...?

Nobody have any ideas?

Is he using the God account?

Posted: Tue Mar 21, 2006 11:16 pm

I believe that only the original God account has privileges to edit the admins doesn't it....

well i dont know,im only admin on my sites but in this case these people hjave a few admins.
so nuke just shows a blank page if an admin visits the edit admin page?

FireATST is correct, but it should not be giving a blank page (parse error). NukeSentinel should have been the one to stop that. This is why it has to be something in this installation that is hosed up.

Try commenting out NukeSentinel in mainfile.php and then have the admins try again. If you do not get the blank page, then someone has probably modified NukeSentinel and introduced a parse error. However, if you still get the blank page, then you have to work it via process of elimination!

Short update on this topic:
New Admin passwords should be at least 8 characters long.
Otherwise there will appear a blank screen.

Maybe something to add a check for the 2.10 distro!
