I set up the dynamic permissions (with PHPR 4.2 Build 379) that work fine but the $_SESSION["GroupID"] return Null value.

I looked with PHPMyAdmin the table ..._ugmembers that have record displaying correctly the UserName (that I can also display correctly in a page using $_SESSION["UserID"]) and its corresponding GroupID that is an Integer type: -1 for admin, etc...but the $_SESSION["GroupID"] does not diplay anything.
Also my _User table contains a field User_Name (VAR type) that correspond well to the $_SESSION["UserID"] and contains a field GroupID (INT Type) but this field is not automatically populated by PHPR and is Null value for all _User records.
What are the steps to correctly setup the GroupID field with dynamic permissions so the $_SESSION["GroupID"] returns the value of the login user GroupID?
Thank you.

Laurent,
please make sure you've assigned users to the corresponding security groups on the Assign users to groups page.

Thanks for your reply but:
Yes I have done this prior to my post: as I said the dynamic permisions works fine the only thing that does not work for me is the $_SESSION["GroupID"] and the fact that my _User table does have its GroupID (Type INT) filled with NULL values instead of the corresponding GroupID value (which is present in the ..._ugmembers table)
When you setup the dynamic permissions you only have to mention which table is for username and password, in my case: _User

and the Username field in this table, in my case: User_Name

and the password field in this table.
My table ..._ugmembers contains the correct UserName, GroupID value for each user. So why $_SESSION["GroupID"] does not return any value?

Do you have to create a GoupID field (INT type) in the _User table as well?

If yes do I have to regenerate (and how) my existing users so the table _User populates itself with the corresponding GroupID value?

Laurent,
It's difficult to tell you what's happening without seeing actual files.
Please zip and send to support@xlinesoft.com a ful set of generated files along with database creation script for investigation.

Jane,
Thanks. I will send you the project file ASAP.

Also note that I am not using the New User Registration page in my config (setup new user from table myself)
However could you please answer this general setiing/setup questions regarding dynamic permissions:
When you setup the dynamic permissions you only have to mention which table is for username and password, e.g.: _User

and the Username field in this table, e.g.: User_Name

and the password field in this table.

  1. Is there anything else to setup (According to the PHPR Help there is no need)? YES/NO?
  2. For example: Do you have to create a GoupID field (INT type) in the _User table as well? YES/NO?
  3. If yes do I have to regenerate (and how) my existing users so the table _User populates itself with the corresponding GroupID value? YES/NO?
    Thanks.
