WT Forums

Today, I've recieved word from JackB that some of our users were unable to see subforums once they logged in, but they were able to read everything when logged out.

Root cause of this was that these users were not members of any group in phpBB administration.

Since I didn't now what the extent of this failrue might be, I wrote a PHP script which detects groupless users in phpBB database and gives you SQL commands to fix them by making them a member of the Registred users group.

If anybody else encoutered similar problem on their board, I am attaching the PHP script here. You'd just have to put it into your board's root directory (where the config.php file is) and run it. It is passive, which means it only reads from the database -- it doesn't change anything, you have to manually copy the pre-prepared INSERT commands yourselves to the phpBB database.

It would be also easy to modify and use if someone wanted to add all phpbb users into a group they weren't in before.

Oh, and I apologize to all affected users (there were 16).
