GARS not shown in AdminCP until Admin-User is Superadmin in config.php

[Muah]

Hi,

i have installed GARS 2.19 on VB 3.6.8. The second Admin-User got all Admin-Rights, but he didnt see GARS in AdminCP NavFrame. Copied the Forum (files and DB) for testing update to VB 3.7.2. Same fault.

I read some threads here, but no one could solve the Problem (re-install Product, re-save Admin-Settings for user and so on).

Check that the ACP -> Usergroups -> Administrator Permissions -> Edit Permissions -> Can Administer GARS is set to yes, and have the other admin refresh the ACP (e.g., hit Ctrl+F5) afterwards.

Sorry, it's a bug. I'll make a fix and post when it is available.

The latest GARS package has been updated with the fix, so you can grab the latest GARS package again and reimport the product-gars.xml file via the ACP (do not uninstall, do allow overwrite) but remember that your custom templates and phrases for GARS add-ons (i.e. the link directory and/or the release add-on) will get wiped out. After reimporting the XML file, you will need to use the GARS importer to reimport the add-ons (making sure you choose the option to import phrases and templates only).

Alternatively, you can make the required change (without reimporting the product-gars.xml file) by going to the ACP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager -> edit the 'GARS - Admin Index Navigation' plugin as follows and then save the changes:

Product: GARS
Hook Location: can_administer
Title: GARS - Admin Can Administer
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:

if (in_array('canadmingars', $do))
{
	$garsadminperms = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT garsadminperms
		FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "administrator
		WHERE userid = " . intval($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) . "
	");
	if ($garsadminperms['garsadminperms'])
	{
		$return_value = true;
	}
}

Plugin is Active: Yes

Hi,

I'm running vB 3.8.4 and am having this exact same problem. I've just purchased this today so I'm relatively sure I've got the latest updates.

I've tried everything I know of and tried everything in this thread, even to doing the above mod manually to the can-administer hook.

If you have any other hints, please let me know.

I simply can't make myself an administrator of GARS. I've tried everything from deleting my permissions from the config.php file to adding them back in and everything in between. I've double and triple checked the files and their location.
