| Just had a major heart attack but managed to solve the problem before posting here. Thought this may be helpful. Joomla 1.0.11 SMF 1.1.x Right - I just had to change my super-admin password in joomla. (Always use the same one when setting things up) After changing it I logged in to the front end with new password and everything seemed fine. I went to my forum to make a note of it in 'My DEV shed' (only viewable to admin) and it wasnt there. Neither was the admin panel button or any of the mod controls. Blood drained from entire body and I fealt rather light headed yet very hot. The super-admin user doesnt tell SMF that you are an admin if you change your super admin details. It just thinks you are a normal user. (I apologise if thats wrong but its just done it to me - at the expence of my health) The solution is simple. Create a new user with your main login panel. Then get to your database and run the following line of code (pref through phpmyadmin) UPDATE smf_members SET ID_GROUP = '1' WHERE memberName = 'yourusername'; If your smf database prefix is different to smf_ then change it to yours. Change your usename to the name you just created. Then log in to your front end with your new user and your forum will give you the admin button. Click it. Go to membergroups, click on administration and add your original admin name to the list. Log out. Log back in with original name and the profuse sweating should quickly subside. Now Im off to murder a tripple vodka. (PS - Wolverine, if this is bad info for some reaon please delete) |
