Lose Admin Access when bridge enabled - vBulletin 4.2.x
PaulProe:
Phil or anyone
Still having the same issue. If I enable bridge, I cannot access admin. I have both admin and super admin but unable to sync to vBulletin
Ideas?

Unfortunately I do not have a copy of vB to do any testing. Maybe someone else in the team is more familiar with it. I am sure it is a simple groups problem.

I do not have any "groups" in vB. I do have User Groups. Maybe if I outline how I set it up, you might see the error I made:
1) In vB, one user, GCC is Super Administrator, one user, PaulP is Administrator. Both can logon and off and access admin duties without issue.
2) installed Coppermine in separate folder, Custom Groups to "yes", used GCC and same password as in vB for the admin setting. When completed. GCC can access admin pages.
3) Enabled bridge. As soon as bridge is connected, it does show GCC logged in. but when I go to Users/Groups to do sync as instructions call for, I get an error message says "You don't have permission to access this page. "
4) If I log out as GCC and re-logon as PaulP, the bridge does work and shows me logged in and able to navigate folders, just can't get to admin pages. Again, if I log out as PaulP and back in as GCC, it shows pages but won't allow me to get to admin pages (not showing in menu items)
5) If I use the backdoor (bridgemgr.php) and go in and turn off the bridge, then I can access the admin settings but bridge is disabled.
6) when enabled, the bridge appears to be working as designed, allowing members to access coppermine pages with vB logon credentials. It is just that we can't access the admin section.
7) Tried adding a group to Coppermine called "Super Administrator" so the names matched exactly but that didn't seem to have any affect.
8) Tried changing "Custom Groups" to no. Still acts the same way, bridge gets enabled but no one gets admin rights, only user rights.
Any ideas? I am not opposed to experimenting but don't know what else to try
Thanks for your help

The current state of the vBulletin bridge for CPG 1.5.46 is that it was written to work with vB 3.x. There were likely changes between 3.x and 4.x that are keeping the bridge from working as you would like. It looks like it is hard-coded in bridge/vbulletin30.inc.php that the admin group id in vB is 6. That may have changed with vB 4.x. Perhaps if you could share some of the database information (dump or at least schema), we may be able to find a workaround.

There was a name change on a variable which has been incorporated into the bridge app. The bridge does work except for the admin thing. I reviewed the databases and see that Coppermine uses GroupID1 for Admin and vB uses "6". Tried adding "1" to the allowed groups for the admin but that didn't seem to work.
I'd be happy to attach a dump or download but the files are quite large and not sure what would be helpful. There are 7 full pages of tables to the vBulletin install. Coppermine has about 22 tables to it, considerably smaller.
Not sure what to share
