Glad you like it, but I wouldn't recommend this approach.

Admin Profiles functions was integrated into Zen Cart 1.5 and extended, which is why I stopped developing it as an independent module.
...

If you have already added the files correctly (and the error would seem to imply that you have) then you need only add the tables.

However, there's a catch. By adding the files you prevent...

The message is telling you that a table doesn't exist. Have you looked in your database to see whether or not it's there?

How did you install the extra tables for this add-on?

The message also...

Admin Profiles doesn't go anywhere near the login mechanism of the admin password. I suggest that you just use the normal process described in the FAQ.

@TamyA

There were significant changes to the way in which Zen Cart handles admin forms since 1.3.7. Recent releases of Admin Profile confirm to the new standards, and it sounds as though...

@baby-information, which version of Admin Profiles have you installed?

@chris13 See post #1174, it applies to you too.

You also really need to upgrade to 1.3.9. 1.3.8 has known vulnerabilities that have been published on hacker websites and for which they go looking.

Ah. That would explain it. You're actually using "Admin Users - Restrict Product Categories".

That was a fork of Admin Profiles, but alas it didn't really do what it claimed to. Sadly the author...

You're not telling us which versions of the add-on modules you're using. In particular for Admin Profiles. The problem you're describing was common when tried to use older versions with either 1.3.9...

Please click on reply and answer the questions in the posting tips.

It sounds as though some of the security features from a later version of Zen Cart may have found their way into your site. But by reinstalling you kicked 'em out again.

But you really need to...

<?php if ($_SESSION['admin_id'] == <myusername>) { ?>

should use your admin user id rather than user name. The ID is numeric. If you were the first user and haven't been re-entered, that would be...

This is true for the current version, but I suspect not for older versions.

I'm pretty sure that there are uninstall instructions in this thread, but just in case. You can see which tables need to...

You can prevent them from seeing other boxes by extending the approach you've already implemented for your order information.

Redirecting them to another page on login (and keeping them from...

Probably. You'd need to tinker with the login page code to detect your admin and where to send them. But that wouldn't stop them from clicking on home and going back to see them.

Probably better...

This is most likely a problem with the permission levels on the files after uploading rather than with the mod itself.

There is a FAQ entry that helps with this.
For the page not found message,...

It sounds as though the error isn't actually in Admin Profiles, but in the way that parameters are lost when the language is changed. That said Admin Profiles should handle the absence of key...

Which version of Zen Cart? Which version of Admin Profiles? Does this happen if you change your language before starting to Edit Permissions?

You could try replacing the whole box_file with just the lineand then right clicking to launch in a new tab/window when you want to use it.

Glad you found it. I find file comparisons from a good automated tool (I particularly like Beyond Compare) invaluable for getting a much more accurate assessment of changes (working or otherwise)...

I suggest doing a file comparison between your version of this file and the one in an unchanged version of Zen Cart to find the place where the bracket matching problem has slipped in, rather than...

@autoace

The problem isn't with Admin Profiles. It's that Apsona launches itself in a non-standard way and the mini script that it uses to do so and which you're putting in your database is...

@alan145

I wonder if you're using http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_41&products_id=1088

This was developed from Admin Profiles but was a bad idea,...

Although your second picture is of Admin Profiles, I don't recognise the first one, which must come from an add-on module with which I'm not familiar. Not knowing the add-on, it's difficult to...

Which version of Admin Profiles are you using? Is it one designed for 1.3.8a or 1.3.9?

Sort of. I'm not convinced that your fix was correct. The line number reported is merely where the PHP parser detected the problem of the missing bracket. The place from which it was missing would...

This means that you have made a small error when applying the patches to the admin.php file. I recommend double checking them very carefully, This could be as small as a single character out of place.

It's patch 4 in the step 3. And yes, patch 3 is for changes to the admin/includes/languages/english.php file.

The function in functions_general is the original Zen Cart version, the other is the one that replaces it.

You shouldn't have that function in both functions/general.php and functions/admin_profiles.php. That's what it means by being unable to redeclare it.

The one in functions/general.php should be...

You rename it to exactly the same as you renamed your admin folder as you want the files to go in there when you upload them to your site.

If we're talking about the main, rather than beta version, then if a third party contrib has a box file, it should be amended to the Admin Profiles approach.

Auto-detection is intended as a...

It worked fine during our testing and on the two live sites that are running it. The only person who responded during beta testing, also had no problems with it. Haven't moved it forward since with...

@jwidjaja

Admin Profiles works from within your admin, so moving it makes no difference.

My hypothesis as to the cause of your problems remains as before and the options for fixing it are...

@LissaE

I know this has been covered before and am pretty certain that it's in this thread, though way back. Nearer the beginning than the current position.

In outline the solution is to wrap...

Hi Jimmy

I suspect that you have installed the Zen Cart security patch that added additional requirements to form handling, for which Admin Profiles needed tweaking.

Two options:

Upgrade to...

Very gently put, and absolutely correct. Thanks for reporting it. :yes:

Installing the 1.3.8 patch files on a 1.3.7 Zen Cart is a bad idea. However, that's not your immediate problem. The problem is that you haven't actually installed admin profiles, but rather a...

Sadly no. This has been raised a number of times so there are some quite detailed explanations of the reason why earlier in this thread.

It should be, as long as you patch the files rather than using the 1.3.8 version provided.

There was a 1.3.9 version a while ago with extensive rewriting, so released as a beta, but there was very...

@coolbreeze3

You haven't mentioned editing the admin.php file ...

@abosch

Two issues. I haven't been near FrontPage for a many years time, so this may be unfair, but it used to be really bad even for html editing as it added stuff of its own to files that didn't...

It sounds as though you didn't do the patches to admin.php.

This means that you didn't follow the installation instructions.

Admin Profiles is a bolt on to the core Zen Cart structure, so it has to feed off scraps of information. Provided the box files are amended to its structure, it can recognbise new pages, but has no...

Did you give yourself permission to access to the new pages via the admin > tools > admin settings page?

Admin Profiles controls access to pages. It makes no attempt and offers no tools for getting involved with the contents of those pages.

This is to do with installing the security patch. There was a special release of Admin Profiles 1.0.7.1 to make it compatible with the security patch, but I wouldn't recommend installing that on a...

I don't recommend it. Although not tested in the wild, I have more confidence in the beta version which fixes a security vulnerability.
