missing ACP Elements #36

Open saissant opened 5 years ago

saissant commented 5 years ago

Good morning everybody,

We had some problems installing your awesome wiki plugin we are very thankful for. We have already checked every file and everything is in its desired folder. Nevertheless we are not able to call the wiki module in the ACP via navigation. We are able to call the link /admin/index.php?module=wiki but all this overview does is to show us which plugin version is installed and enable us to check for updates. There are no settings and we are still searching for a way to define categories for our wiki articles. However the link to the documentation page from the plugin list in the ACP works fine – but the documentation was another sign for us to recognize that we have missed something in the ACP. Frontend everything works fine apparently.

Our first suggestion as already mentioned was to check if every file is in its right position on the server. In the first place we detected that we had downloaded the package from one of the development branches. We corrected this mistake, downloaded the package again from the master, updated all files and reinstalled the plugin. Things then changed to our current basis. Before that we didn't have the wiki module with the plugin version overview. But it still seems something is missing though everything is on the server. It’s especially hard because we did never before use this plugin and therefore don’t know where the module should be in the ACP under normal circumstances.

We would be very glad about some advice and help. Thanks a lot for everybody who stops by and takes the time!

Our Mybb Version is 1.8.20 and we run on PHP version 5.6.38.

I don't have access to a server right now so I can't do rigorous testing, but the Wiki tab should be alongside the main MyBB tabs at the top of the Admin CP - "Users & Groups", "Templates & Style", "Tools & Maintenance".

What other plugins do you have installed? I suspect there may be a conflict within module_meta.php which I can change.

Hey thank you for the fast answer and sorry for letting you wait for so long.

Yes that’s the place I would have expected the module aswell. Anyway it doesn’t appear.

Our installed plugins are the following:

Account Switcher 2.1.1 by doylecc Einverständnis Nutzungsbedingungen 1.3 by doylecc Away Member List 0.4 by MyBB Romania Cookie Law 1.0.0 by Matt Rogowski Favicon 1.6.1 by juventiner Inplaytracker 2.0 by sparks fly Thread Description 1.1 by Starpaul20 [jQuery] Appearing Scroll to top 1.1 by Vintagedaddyo And last but not least the MyBB Wiki.

I hope that helps somehow – thanks a lot for the help! If you need more information please let me know.

Hm, as far as I'm aware there should be no conflicts with those. Can you try visiting http://yoursite.com/admin/index.php?module=wiki-home and attach a screenshot of what is shown?

saissant commented 5 years ago

The screenshot was a huge help. We made a big discovery taking two screenshots with different accounts. The result is: everything works fine. The problem was the following, that the wiki tab and the wiki settings are viewable for the main admin user only. For every other admin user it is invisible and doesn't show a menu when I visit the link you've given me. Now I was searching for permissions to set for the other admins so they would see the wiki settings aswell but I couldn't find any. Is there a way to allow them to view the wiki settings in the ACP aswell?

First thing to try: Can the users who can't see the admin menu visit http://yoursite.com/admin/index.php?module=wiki-articles for example, and is anything displayed?

Second thing to try: Get the main admin user (superadmin I think is the term MyBB uses) to visit http://yoursite.com/admin/index.php?module=wiki-perms and fiddle with the settings there, see if anything changes.

Also sorry for the extremely long lag - for some reason, GH has stopped sending me any notifications on issues :|

I'm also having this problem. I can access each menu item manually, but the menus themselves aren't appearing in the ACP for regular administrators.

Nevermind - it was a permissions issue. Regular admins don't have access to the menu by default. They probably should though.
