Permission Level Changed - FAQ´s aren't visible

[model_railroader]

Hey there,

this is my first article in this forum.

I wanted to create groups today for the first time so I changed the permission level in configuration from basic to medium. No I have the problem, that all my faqs are away. I looked at the database; the faqs are still there but I can't see them in front- and backend. I also tried to import my last backup, but when I do so, the permission level is switched back to basic by the system so that I can't work with group support.
EDIT 15.02.2023: Regarding this, I understand now, why it is so. With the import of the backup, the config table item for the permission level is switched back to "basic". But after trying a bit today again, I just see the possibility to install phpmyfaq new. But how do I get back then my faqs?

How can I make the faqs visible for everybody again?

Thank's a lot for your help!

Hi,

this is strange. Which version do you use?

Is it possible to get a backup of your data?

Hey thorsten,

thank's for your reply.

I updated today to Version 3.1.11. I'll send you now a private message with the backup of my data in the basic version. Or do you wish to have a backup of my data, when I switch to medium and nothing works?
EDIT: Sorry, just noticed, that it isn't possible to send attachments in private message. Could I send you the file via e-mail?

Hi Thorsten,

I sent you an email 3 days ago.
Anyway, I dived again into the source code today and found out the general problem. If the system is switched to "medium", no data is filled into the table "faqdata_group". So I added for all record_ids the group_id "-1" again, and all faqs are visible again.
But with this solution, new problems are coming up. Setting up any restrictions for groups to faq-records isn't possible; so it is possible and everything works fine but if I open the faq-edit-section again, no more restrictions are showen. Another observation about this: The restrictions are working except from showing the right number of faq-records. So, to cut a long story short, very strange observations.
I think, the problem has something to do with the function "queryPermission()" in Faq.php, but I haven't time yet to look at this more accurate and I'm not able to give you a reason for this thought....
I just wanted to give you a short feedback at this time.

I can open an issue at GitHub as well if you want to.

Your observation is correct, that's the issue.
