Hi

I have enable your Plug Block Password Reset and I have a set up with phpBB 3.0.6, Jfusion 1.2.3 and Joomla 1.5.15

After I disable the group super administrators I can log into admin in phpBB but I dont have admin rights just manager rights so I cant make anything with the admin side in phpBB.

How do I reset the settings for my phpBB board so I can make it work again?

What do I do ie db settings?

Hi,

I don't really understand what your problem is. All that the plugin does is to prevent the front-end password reset function for selected groups - it does not disable the groups. You can still log in as a super-administrator if you have an account as one. If you don't then you have made a mistake setting up your site I think.

I don't think that your problem is anything to do with the plugin. There is absolutely no way it would affect your admin rights.

I have removed the Plug Block Password Reset plg but still have this problem.

My problem is that after I installed the Plug Block Password Reset plg it changed the phpBB permissions back end.

I can login to the back end of phpBB but I am not longer the admin (super user as I should be).

In some way the Plug Block Password Reset changed the permissions in phpBB via Jfusion is my guess.

There is absolutely no way it would affect your admin rights.
But if you say that Plug Block Password Reset you dont alter any user permissions via Jfusion and phpBB (groups permissions)...?

I repeat, the plugin does one thing only, it disables the front-end password reset function. There is absolutely no way it would affect your admin rights for Joomla or PHPBB in the way that you describe.

It does not affect groups or their permissions.

If you are having this problem it is not due to the plugin.

The plugin does not make any changes at all to the database, which would be required for it to have the effect that you describe.

The plugin simply tests if the user is attempting to reset the password. If they are not, it does nothing. If they are, it tests if the password being reset belongs to an admin user. If it does, it forces a redirect back to the previous page. If it does not, it does nothing. It does not at any point alter the user groups themselves or their permissions.

I am sorry that you are having these problems, but they are not caused by the plugin.

This is pure coincidence.

As explained above, in order to make any change to your admin rights the plugin would need to make some sort of change to the database - it does not do this. It does nothing at all except as described above.

The original complainant said that he was still having the problem after the plugin was uninstalled!!! This is absolutely impossible, the plugin does not in any way change anything in your site code or site database, if you uninstall it, it will be as if it was never there.

I am sorry that you are having these problems but really you will save yourself a lot of time if you look for the real source of the problem, which has nothing to do with the plugin.
