Hi guys. I've noticed that users have to be logged in to access the whois.php page of the nettools plugin. How can I change this and make it public view? I'm having trouble finding any info on Geeklog's Security Administration.
Thanks in advance!

It's not meant to be made entirely public, but there's a Whois.view permission that you can assign to user groups to give all users in that group access to the Whois lookup.

bye, Dirk

I'm not having any luck at figuring it out. I'm going into 'Groups', editing the 'NetTools Admin' group and chose to include 'All Users'. At the bottom of the page, I verified a check by whois.view, tracert.view, ping.view and nslookup.view. Still.. if I logout, I get an error that access is denied and I must login when I try to go to /nettools/nettools.php.

Am I going about this all wrong?
Thank you!

Amy,

You can search for the feature id (ft_id) in gl_features table where feature name is Whois.view.

Assuming this ft_id is 37 insert into gl_access a new row where acc_ft_id is 37 and acc_gr_id is 2 (group id from all users).

Text Formatted Code
INSERT INTO `geeklog170`.`gl_access` (
`acc_ft_id` ,
`acc_grp_id`
)
VALUES (
'37', '2'
);
