Hi!

You supposedly either removed yourself from all usergroups, or you enable the option "Right to publish entries: NO" which will effectively remove you from all access.

You will now have to use a tool like phpMyAdmin and execute this query:

Code: Select all

UPDATE serendipity_authors SET right_publish = 1

If that doesn't work, please report back here

Best regards,
Garvin

thank you garvin for answer.
i must change "Right to publish entries".

how i have to use that phpMyAdmin tool?

Hi!

If you don't have phpMyAdmin, then try to create a simple file called "fixright.php" in your serendipity directory with this code:

Code: Select all

include 'serendipity_config.inc.php';
serendipity_db_query("UPDATE {$serendipity['dbPrefix']}authors SET right_publish = 1");

Then you can call the URL via http://yourhost/fixright.php which should fix the right on its own, allowing you to properly relogin.

you will be thinking of me that i am total fool, but...
this is my login screen

Code: Select all

http://kavo.mnml.nl/blog/serendipity_admin.php

in which directory i must create file? and how i add the code?
you mean like this?

Code: Select all

http://kavo.mnml.nl/blog/fixright.php

then i can not open the page.

again sorry for my darkness.

Create that file using Notepad or something. And don't we have to use <?php ... ?> ?

If you try to open the file and get your frontpage, you have to edit your .htaccess-file too:

Code: Select all

rewriteengine Off

[kavo]

yes, i made the file fixright.php with that code in body of file.
but i dont know how to i add it to my serendipity directory

Hi!

Davy is right, change the script to read this:

Code: Select all

<?php
include 'serendipity_config.inc.php';
serendipity_db_query("UPDATE {$serendipity['dbPrefix']}authors SET right_publish = 1"); 

Then save it as "fixright.php" and upload it via FTP into your "blog" subdirectory. Then call http://kavo.mnml.nl/blog/fixright.php via your browser.

Best regards,
Garvin

[kavo]

i did it.
when i call

Code: Select all

http://kavo.mnml.nl/blog/fixright.php

its done and its all clear on the site

Hi!

That's okay, the php script doesn't give any output! Did you check to relogin? It should hopefully work again?

If not, use this PHP script instead

Code: Select all

include 'serendipity_config.inc.php';
print_r(serendipity_db_query("UPDATE {$serendipity['dbPrefix']}authors SET right_publish = 1")); 

print_r(serendipity_db_query("SELECT * FROM {$serendipity['dbPrefix']}authors");

Then you should see some output, a listing of all available authors?

Regards,
Garvin

[kavo]

done, still dont works

i use this code

Code: Select all

include 'serendipity_config.inc.php'; 
print_r(serendipity_db_query("UPDATE {$serendipity['dbPrefix']}authors SET right_publish = 1")); 

print_r(serendipity_db_query("SELECT * FROM {$serendipity['dbPrefix']}authors"); 

i have to add "<?php" at the begining of code and "?>" at the end?

[Davy]

You should always use <?php and ?>, to go into PHP-mode and after that exit PHP. It's something like starting a script in HTML: <script type="blahblah">. If you don't use <?php and ?>, the page is not seen as PHP, and just sent to the browser.

[kavo]

i did code this way:

Code: Select all

<?php include 'serendipity_config.inc.php'; 
print_r(serendipity_db_query("UPDATE {$serendipity['dbPrefix']}authors SET right_publish = 1")); 

print_r(serendipity_db_query("SELECT * FROM {$serendipity['dbPrefix']}authors"); ?>

then saved to blog folder via FTP

then i call from IE:

Code: Select all

http://kavo.mnml.nl/blog/fixright.php

when i logged in Administration Suite its all still the same, i can not do anything, just log off.
i feel feckless

[garvinhicking]

Hi!

Hm, that fixright.php file still seems faulty, I'm sorry. Please try this:

Code: Select all

<?php 
include 'serendipity_config.inc.php'; 
print_r(serendipity_db_query("UPDATE {$serendipity['dbPrefix']}authors SET right_publish = 1")); 

print_r(serendipity_db_query("SELECT * FROM {$serendipity['dbPrefix']}authors")); ?>

I'm sorry that I didn't post the right snippet; there was a PHP parse error, and your host does not show PHP errors, that's why you got a blank page

HTH,.
