Accessing Jcomments permission tab in joomla / Enabling hidden menus


The copy of joomla i'm using is edited by the super administrator to not to show the unnecessary menus like installing/uninstalling modules etc etc.. but now, i want to set the permissions of Jcomments and i can't find the menu anywhere to do that.. i found a simple settings page using administrator/index.php?option=com_jcomments&task=settings

but i can't get to the permissions page since it uses ajax(i guess).. i thought of editing the setting in the Database directly but that'd be a very bad practice.. so,

1) Can anyone tell me how to enable those menus or at least how to reach them.

2) If not possible i wanna uninstall the old version of Jcomments and install it with a new one

please pour in your advices and suggetions :)


Solution

  • You can change the menu in

    /administrator/modules/mod_menu/helper.php

    and the menu permissions in

    /libraries/joomla/user/authorization.php

    However, if you even can't (un)install something, I think you are only a Manager (not Administrator). (Can you create new Users?) So maybe it's just Joomla that is adapting the menu to your role's permission. More infos to user roles at Joomla! Docs.
