[NO FIX NEEDED] Multiple admin users for OCS

[ramon]

Hello all,

The solution provided in this post (referenced in the Wiki) is not working for OCS 2.3.3.2...
Any ideas on how to add another Admin?

[UPDATE - 02/06/2011]
The database "hack" on the post above DOES WORK for OCS.
Make sure to be working on the right database...

Hi Ramón,

What do you get from:

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM roles WHERE role_id=1;

Alec,

Here's the result.

Code: Select all

conference_id      sched_conf_id      user_id      role_id
       0                 0              1             1
       0                 0              2             1
       0                 0              5             1


In OCS 2.1.2.1, I had 3 administrators and it worked perfectly.
After upgrading to 2.3 it stopped working, which means they don't have access to the administration area.
Other things work fine

Hi Ramón,

Hmm, those entries look fine, and we're using the same setup for our own conference installation, which is 2.3.3-1, which is pretty close to what you're using -- is there any chance that you're working on the wrong database? Does that user account otherwise work OK, and what happens if you navigate directly to the admin URL, i.e. http://[something]/index.php/index/index/admin?

Hello Alec,

I probably got confused with the database, as they were 2 different installations with the same content.
I didn't pay attention to the DB name at the time.
The development database had the hack, while the production site, which I needed to replicate didn't.

Sorry for the mess!
