CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello,
I have inherited a website made with CMS Made Simple. I use version 1.9.2 now. Still learning, but I want all the pages be owned by the webmaster. In history a lot of pages are owned by a single user. I want to set all pages to the owner Webmaster and then change only a few pages back to different other users. How do I get back to the situation in which the Webmaster owns all the pages???

Kind regards

You can manually update each page in the admin panel (Content->Pages->[your page]->Options->Owner), or you can change all at once by updating the database directly using phpMyAdmin, or whatever tool your hosting company provides.

Assuming that your table prefix is "cms_" and that your user id (check the cms_users table) is "1", execute the following:

UPDATE cms_content SET owner_id=1

Change "cms_" and "owner_id" to match the values in your setup.

In terms of owning.... If you are member of the admin-group, then you can do all to the pages. No need to be the owner then....

I know that I can do anything with all pages beining webmaster Ronny, but the point is; I don't want the other users to own some pages which they own now.

Does anyone happen to know how to set addittionnal editor groups using the mysql db?

How to change the owner_id is clear to me but I can't seem to figure out where to set the addittional editor groups.

Greetings,
Manuel
