Hello, former library employee now library volunteer who is helping a library update its tikiwiki 3.x intranet to 7.2 and encountered a strange bug that I am stuck on.
Upgrade seemed to go smooth, with a fresh directory install and pointed to the SQLi backend of the 3.x install in a test environment.
When I went to login with the known local admin account within tikiwiki, it allowed me to login but i could not access any of the admin modules without getting a lack of permissions error. Somehow the admin account is not associated with the admin group, although works fine in the 3.x live install.
Issue is compounded then that I cannot add admin to the admin group, because I cannot get access to the admin modules to do this!
I tried to do my own research on this, and actually did see some IRC logs where someone else had a very similiar issue although I did not see a resolution.
Any ideas how to fix this? Can someone give me some guidance into the tikiwiki sql structure whereby I might be able to change this within the table itself?
