deleting of articles

when login in as standard webmaster, then create an article, then create a new admin called for example newadmin, then delete the first webmaster admin account.

now im not able to delete the article that this webmaster admin (who doesn't exist anymore) created.

I also suggest that the Admin should be able to delete everything he wants.

That is no bug - it's a feature

The admin exists - in phpwcms NOTHING is deleted. Every "deleted" is set to trashed in db.

so you say that i would be able to put back that old (webmaster admin) , login with that account and than delete (trash) those articles? How can i delete/trash certain articles when i don't have access to them as admin?

Sorry, at the moment only the user who created the article can delete this article. But this is something that will changed as soon as possible.

Bring'em back. It is very old function

Open the user db table - there you will find deleted users with "usr_aktiv"=9. Make this 1 again and change also user login and password for your needs. It is the only way to bring a user back at the moment.

Do you use phpMyAdmin for access the mysql db?

Then choose function "PASSWORD" when updating. You can also copy your own password from entry in db and copy it there (without function "PASSWORD").
