I am willing to pay 500 dollars for help (presumably successful) in fixing a bug I got when upgrading from 1.5.8 to 1.5.16. I am copying the two places I posted the problem on the forums. I initially thought it was a theme problem and posted here:
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,73624.0.html
and Andre was helpful and tried my theme.php in his system and found it was not a theme problem.
Then I posted to the upgrade support board and I tried what was suggested but still have the problem:
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,73648.msg354628.html#msg354628
I have put a lot of work in on my website and I would hate to ruin it while trying to fix it. I would appreciate anyone who could help me fix this bug so I can upgrade in the future without problems.
As far as I can tell there is a problem with my groups permission. Even though my groups manager shows that guests to my site are not allowed to upload files or have a gallery, those menu items are appearing on the homepage of the site to non-logged in members. It is a relatively small thing, but I would like my site to be running fine because I am getting ready to publicize it.
The website is www.RetinaGallery.com
I got the error after upgrading from 1.5.8 to 1.5.16. The other thing I did at about that time was install the custom thumbnail plugin. Those are the only 2 things I changed on the website. The website is currently set to debug mode and I have created a test user with username test and password test .
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Steven Cohen

Your budget is very large but I doubt anyone would take that amount of money from you.
-
I am not allowed to send personal messages. Can you fix that? I would love the help.
-
I can't fix that, its a site policy. I was just waiting for a reply before sending my email address.
-
If Jeff won't be able to fix your issue I'm also interested in this job :)
-
I gues its not much work, 500 is realy a lot ;D
-
This job has been completed. Steven was nice enough to let me share the solution.
I created a temporary fresh install and compared the database and discovered in the categorymap table a double entry for cid 1 that allowed guest uploads and set [can_create_public_albums] = 1. I just deleted that row and all is well.
Steven was also very prompt and generous with payment.
-
Steven, do you still have a backup of your cpg1.5.8 database? I'd like to check if that double entry is repeatable while upgrading and if so, how we can fix the update procedure.
-
Andre,
I have a few backups of the database, one from June which was from before my upgrade. Can I post the database here safely? I can attach a zipped copy for you if you like or email it to you. Thank you for offering the help. Jeff was amazing. I was banging my head against the wall for 2 weeks with the problem. I very very much appreciate the expert support available for the coppermine package.
Steve
