    After trying to sort permissions with Role Manager the Link to manage Photosmash has now disappeared from the Dashboard!

    Does anyone know how to get this back....

    Thanks

    Deb,

    Uggg...sorry. Can you describe what changes you made? PhotoSmash relies pretty heavily on capability 'level_10' for Administrator access.

    weeeeelllll....I am not really sure.....

    I downloaded Role Manager as I was trying to give permission for an Editor to manage the images.

    That did not seem to allow me to do what I want, so then I downloaded Role Scoper - which again did not give me what I needed, but now all the permissions seem to be cocked up.

    Not only has PhotoSmash disappeared from the Dashboard, but I keep getting messages telling me I do not have permission to access certain pages....

    I have full access to the database if it means just changing a setting in there....

    Thanks
    Deb

    Ok...let's start with plan B...is this blog in production already? If not, then it might be best to just start over.

    Plan A would be to:
    1) deactivate Role Scoper and Role Manager
    2) go into your Database admin (probably phpmyadmin) and view the table wp_options, then Browse
    3) click either the SQL tab or preferrably the [edit] beneath the little box showing the SQL statement used for browsing
    4) enter this in the SQL box and run the query:

    SELECT * FROM wp_options where option_name like '%role%'

    5) edit the record for: wp_user_roles
    set the option value equal to:

    a:5:{s:13:"administrator";a:2:{s:4:"name";s:13:"Administrator";s:12:"capabilities";a:55:{s:13:"switch_themes";b:1;s:11:"edit_themes";b:1;s:16:"activate_plugins";b:1;s:12:"edit_plugins";b:1;s:10:"edit_users";b:1;s:10:"edit_files";b:1;s:14:"manage_options";b:1;s:17:"moderate_comments";b:1;s:17:"manage_categories";b:1;s:12:"manage_links";b:1;s:12:"upload_files";b:1;s:6:"import";b:1;s:15:"unfiltered_html";b:1;s:10:"edit_posts";b:1;s:17:"edit_others_posts";b:1;s:20:"edit_published_posts";b:1;s:13:"publish_posts";b:1;s:10:"edit_pages";b:1;s:4:"read";b:1;s:8:"level_10";b:1;s:7:"level_9";b:1;s:7:"level_8";b:1;s:7:"level_7";b:1;s:7:"level_6";b:1;s:7:"level_5";b:1;s:7:"level_4";b:1;s:7:"level_3";b:1;s:7:"level_2";b:1;s:7:"level_1";b:1;s:7:"level_0";b:1;s:17:"edit_others_pages";b:1;s:20:"edit_published_pages";b:1;s:13:"publish_pages";b:1;s:12:"delete_pages";b:1;s:19:"delete_others_pages";b:1;s:22:"delete_published_pages";b:1;s:12:"delete_posts";b:1;s:19:"delete_others_posts";b:1;s:22:"delete_published_posts";b:1;s:20:"delete_private_posts";b:1;s:18:"edit_private_posts";b:1;s:18:"read_private_posts";b:1;s:20:"delete_private_pages";b:1;s:18:"edit_private_pages";b:1;s:18:"read_private_pages";b:1;s:12:"delete_users";b:1;s:12:"create_users";b:1;s:17:"unfiltered_upload";b:1;s:14:"edit_dashboard";b:1;s:14:"update_plugins";b:1;s:14:"delete_plugins";b:1;s:15:"install_plugins";b:1;s:13:"update_themes";b:1;s:14:"install_themes";b:1;s:21:"access_on_maintenance";b:1;}}s:6:"editor";a:2:{s:4:"name";s:6:"Editor";s:12:"capabilities";a:34:{s:17:"moderate_comments";b:1;s:17:"manage_categories";b:1;s:12:"manage_links";b:1;s:12:"upload_files";b:1;s:15:"unfiltered_html";b:1;s:10:"edit_posts";b:1;s:17:"edit_others_posts";b:1;s:20:"edit_published_posts";b:1;s:13:"publish_posts";b:1;s:10:"edit_pages";b:1;s:4:"read";b:1;s:7:"level_7";b:1;s:7:"level_6";b:1;s:7:"level_5";b:1;s:7:"level_4";b:1;s:7:"level_3";b:1;s:7:"level_2";b:1;s:7:"level_1";b:1;s:7:"level_0";b:1;s:17:"edit_others_pages";b:1;s:20:"edit_published_pages";b:1;s:13:"publish_pages";b:1;s:12:"delete_pages";b:1;s:19:"delete_others_pages";b:1;s:22:"delete_published_pages";b:1;s:12:"delete_posts";b:1;s:19:"delete_others_posts";b:1;s:22:"delete_published_posts";b:1;s:20:"delete_private_posts";b:1;s:18:"edit_private_posts";b:1;s:18:"read_private_posts";b:1;s:20:"delete_private_pages";b:1;s:18:"edit_private_pages";b:1;s:18:"read_private_pages";b:1;}}s:6:"author";a:2:{s:4:"name";s:6:"Author";s:12:"capabilities";a:10:{s:12:"upload_files";b:1;s:10:"edit_posts";b:1;s:20:"edit_published_posts";b:1;s:13:"publish_posts";b:1;s:4:"read";b:1;s:7:"level_2";b:1;s:7:"level_1";b:1;s:7:"level_0";b:1;s:12:"delete_posts";b:1;s:22:"delete_published_posts";b:1;}}s:11:"contributor";a:2:{s:4:"name";s:11:"Contributor";s:12:"capabilities";a:5:{s:10:"edit_posts";b:1;s:4:"read";b:1;s:7:"level_1";b:1;s:7:"level_0";b:1;s:12:"delete_posts";b:1;}}s:10:"subscriber";a:2:{s:4:"name";s:10:"Subscriber";s:12:"capabilities";a:2:{s:4:"read";b:1;s:7:"level_0";b:1;}}}

    Hopefully that will get you back to square 1.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

    That has not only fixed the PhotoSmash problem - but also other issues I was having as well!!!

    Now....is there a way to allow an editor access to the PhotoSmash Image manager?

    Thanks

    Excellent.

    The problem of letting Editors into Photo Manager at this point is that to do that, they will probably get way more access to your site than you'd want...basically, they'd have the same powers as Admins. To fix that would require some core changes in PhotoSmash.

    But if you want to go the route of giving them Admin rights, I'd recommend installing Members and giving Editors the capability level_10. That's what it would take at this point.
