    Solved Admin panel access for Forum Developer group

    Post by neo1027 December 12th 2008, 8:00 am

    How to open Admin panel for Forum Developers?I try adding them to the admin group but the Group colouring of the Admin's replaced the colour of the custom group colouring of Forum Developer's.

    Such as,Forum Developer's group colouring is Blue,while Admin is Indigo.First I created the Forum Developer group,the colour of their name is blue,no problem.However after I added them to the Admin Group,the Indigo colour replaced the Blue.So I was wondering,how to give access for Forum Developers to enter the admin panel without replacing their group colouring?

    Thanks!!!!! Hello

    I'm not sure if this is possible

    I have 2 accounts for myself, both admin. One is ADMIN name, and other is a personal user name... I had to make the personal user name the same as the ADMIN one in order to access the Admin panel.

    If there is a way, I can't wait to read about it

    As far as I know, the only group that is able to access the administration panel is the administrator's group. You are unable to create a new group and set it to allow its members access to the administration panel.

    you can make a group that does have administration panel access and with a different colour to the selected "administrator's" colour.

    Give me 5 minutes and ill edit my post and tell you how.

    I thought there was a way, but since I switched to phpBB2, i can't find how to do it any more - so thought maybe there wasn't a way and I was imagining it

    Well, if I see that right, your Forum Developers are the same as normal admins.

    Just use one color for them like blue, if you want them to be blue and than make different ranks for them. If you want to be the only one that is named Admin, make your rank administrator. I for myself call me always Page founder while the rest is admin.

    If you make the admin group a closed group your members won't see the difference and the thing is handled.

    In group administration,
    make the group order of the forum developers group above the admin group.
    that way the members can be in both groups but the will receive the color of forum developer group and the admin will stay blue
