[Forum] Usergroup settings not working

[Videx]

When I change a setting in Usergroup Manager, it creates a duplicate Custom Usergroup, but the setting in the original Usergroup isn't changed. Just updated to vb4, no mods installed (I uninstalled them all before the upgrade).

Identical to http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?301560-Cannot-edit-usergroups&p=1702626 , only I have jiggered my suhosin settings and it's still not working. Help!

Okay, I found some more stuff, including this: http://www.questionbin.com/blogcomme...blem--Fix.html

He simply recommends that it's a plugin. So I added define(’DISABLE_HOOKS’, true); to my config.php and nothing happens! Both CMS and Blog are still working!?!? Not to be stopped, I discover that disabling Blog solves the problem. I need sleep.

So how do I get the Blog working again? And why doesn't disable hooks work?

BTW When I check the blog version, it says 4.0.1 installed, latest version 2.0.2 whatever that means.

We have EXACTLY the same issue !!!!

I just simply tried changing html markup colour for admin usergroup.
Clicked save.
It created a new custom usergroup, and my original edit wasnt saved.

But new usergroup in custom groups also called admin, it saved the edit. !!

Argghhh how flipping frustrating

To add: we are on 4.0.2
Have disabled hooks in config.php

Same issue

See http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...-Usergroup-Bug . Looks like we're going to have to open a new bug ticket.

[TimberFloorAu]

Thanks, have submitted support ticket and added bug report

[TimberFloorAu]

We still have this issue.

Getting extremely frustrating now.

We have settings as requested in Suhosin.in.
We have redone php.ini

We have rebooted, restarted apache... still the exact same issue.

Have also checked out Davids suggestions in bug tracker, still no difference.
Have also resubmitted a ticket...


Will hopefully get answer and report back.

What if you disable suhosin?

[TimberFloorAu]

***** FIXED ****


Using a workaround from Videx.

Disabled BLOGS
Did usergroup Edits
Re-enabled Blogs

Sweet ! ( albeit its a bug VB should and need to address ) Thanks Videx

Hi Zach.

We inspected suhosin via putty ssh
Suhosin was disabled.
We did edits, to suhosin, and php ini files. Htaccess edits caused 500 errors.

Even went to the extreme of rebuilding php, but that shat itself...

But simply disabling BLOGS fixed the issue temporarily, enough for us to fix usergroups etc.

Still want a full blown fix tho.

I would advise disabling or removing suhosin. Whats happening is that iwthout the blog settings there you're likely under the imposed suhosin limits on number of varibles.

My host don't disable suhosin so i'm screwed!!! this in nonsense to blame that! there must be another way to fix it...

And how to EDIT the usergroup ids because if i want to make a new one it get number higher than 25 thats sucks...


And i disable blog and no problems anymore! so how can i change the usergroup ids?

[Videx]

No host is going to disable suhosin on a shared server. He meant on a dedicated server. Anyway, at least one person in the other thread doesn't have suhosin installed, so that's not the problem.
