Ok for no reason my entire Admin panel is blank now when I log in to the site administrator. I don't know how to fix it. Anyone able to help? I'm running 2.5.4 with community builder and a few other small extensions installed.

Ok so I saw another thread that the person had to add permissions for the user, but this is the only user that is an administrator, so how can I add permissions if I don't have administrator access?

Look for the prior thread. I too had the problem and fixed it by having my entire site recovered from a backup that I knew was good.

I believe I accidentally changed a critical permission. I was not changing the site admin permissions at all but apparently there is something that can be done to one of the groups that ends up getting a blank site admin. Unfortunately I do not know what I did to cause the problem either. Wish I did.

The other thread has some more elaborate steps you can take if you don't have a backup to recover from. I chose the easier route since it was available to me.

Here is what I did to fix the same issue. I installed another clean site and compared database tables. The _assets table was my issue.

Open table xxx_assets in your joomla 2.5 database
Edit Row 1 (Root Asset) and change the rule to:

{"core.login.site":{"6":1,"2":1},"core.login.admin":{"6":1},"core.login.offline":{"6":1},"core.admin":{"8":1},"core.manage":{"7":1},"core.create":{"6":1,"3":1},"core.delete":{"6":1},"core.edit":{"6":1,"4":1},"core.edit.state":{"6":1,"5":1},"core.edit.own":{"6":1,"3":1}}

Save that and whala, admin panel now works. My issues was from testing the permissions in the global config and locking myself out. That value is the default admin value.

Hope this helps!

The usergroup that you set to allow admin login .... put that user Group in the 'Special' view/access level.

The Admin menus are set at 'Special' view/access level

It would be helpful if you mentioned WHICH thread provides the useful steps.
Thanks.

ok so I logged into the PHPMyAdmin and the user is set as a Super Administrator I'm setting a temporary password different from what I had and trying to log in again to see if it will be different so I can change the viewing access.

ok so I followed the steps in this tutorial video that I got the link from the general help from joomla http://www.veoh.com/watch/v1818492yRNhWTdg and I did the password as
column:password type:varchar(100) function:MD5 value:admin and I tried logging in as user:admin pass:admin and it now says "Failed to authenticate: Access Denied" and I can't even log in. however after I save it, it changes the password that is listed in the value to random numbers and letters as you can see in the confirmation screenshot here:
Attachment:
screenshot_phpmyadmin.png

I'm at a loss, I even tried copying and pasting the random password it puts in there and same thing no login.

Can you confirm what version of Joomla you are running? The screen grab shows a table for jos_mambots which if memory serves was from Joomla 1.0 when the dinosaurs roamed the plains! That might explain why the fix didn't work for you.

Thanks, this solved my snafu also. Next time I'll watch what I tick off in the permission fields.

This did NOT work for me either:

{"core.login.site":{"6":1,"2":1},"core.login.admin":{"6":1},"core.login.offline":{"6":1},"core.admin":{"8":1},"core.manage":{"7":1},"core.create":{"6":1,"3":1},"core.delete":{"6":1},"core.edit":{"6":1,"4":1},"core.edit.state":{"6":1,"5":1},"core.edit.own":{"6":1,"3":1}}

This is the first time I have this problem, when updating from a 1.7 to 2.5.4. I've done a number of them from 1.7 to 2.5.x (excluding 2.5.4) and there has never been an issue.

This needs reporting as a bug in 2.5.4.

running joomla 2.5.4

problem showed up when joomla auto updated from 2.5.3 to 2.5.4 all my admin stuff stopped working. My menu option to post a new article or new weblink disappeared and whenever I logged into admin it was blank. I went into the phpMyAdmin and reset the password for the admin to admin hoping that if I reset everything it would reset the account and I could get into it, I no longer have access to anything. I stupidly didn't do a backup after I finally got everything set back up.
