Topic: [SMF 1.1.3]: Features missing in admin panel

[karenwalkersnipple]

The membergroups and permissions features are missing in my admin panel and I can't seem to ban anyone or blabberize them even though I have admin privs.  It lost those features when I upgraded from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Is this on the default theme or another that you are using?

[karenwalkersnipple]

It's on all the themes.  I have about 7 of them now.

You may need to reinstall the back up created when you updated to 1.1.3 because its there see screen shot below.

Oh you can find the back up in the packages folder like this.... packages/backups/your back up.rar

Even before we upgraded we had problem with the moderators not being able to modify posts and such.  We keep having to reset their permissions. 

[TreetopClimber]

Well maybe one of your mods has a conflict with those settings.
Maybe truesatan or another coder can assist you better then I.

What mods do you have installed.

 It's quite common to see problems such as this post a core upgrade...the upgrade overwrites a number of the files and any mods that have edited those files are thus not in the overwritten versions.

 Unfortunately, seeing as it can be a fair bit of work, the only way to put this right is to go through the process of a manual installation of your mods checking to see that the edits they need to make are in place and if they aren't then editing accordingly.

 Personally, when a new SMF version comes out I choose to handle it in the following way:

 

• Get the upgrade package and the full install package from SMF
• Backup both my database and my files
• Unpack the upgrade package and from it ftp the upgrade.php and upgrade_1-1.sql files to my forum root...visit the upgrade.php file via my browser so as to run it
• Again backup my database and files
• Unpack the full install package and then delete my forum files and directories on my server that match those in the package save for my Attachments directory and Settings.php and Settings_bak.php in my forum root
• Upload new files and directories from the full install package to my forum save for the afore mentioned ones
• Reapply my mods, edits and themes

 This method gives me a completely fresh set of forum files with no left over junk from previous installations

I'd found this problem once, cause one line disappear from some files i don't sure which one, admin.template.php or modsetting.php.

You can also try running Form Maintenance (fixing errors) after upgrading or adding mods. This sometimes helps.

I would imagine that with the upgrade to 1.1.4 this has been solved.
