    Default Admin profiles mod

    Hi guys,
    I'll like to add the mod Admin profiles 1.0.7 to my site but I'm really worry to mess with my files. I have installed Image Handler2, Simple SEO and integrated phpbb3 into my zen cart site. Would this mod affect the other ones?

    To anyone who has installed this mod, will all admins be able to use image handler and SEO?

    Thanks

    Unless you REALLY need to have this skip it. If you decide you need it merge the files very carefully after backing up. But, honestly on most hosting configurations the module is a bit dodgy.

    None other that I have ever seen, just backup and merge carefully.

    No, it doesn't go anywhere near any of the core files in those or any other mods. There is a slight overlap in the box files which are used to build the Admin menus, but this is explained in a step-by-guide which actually uses Image Handler as an example.

    Whether all admins would be able to use those other mods with Admin Profiles installed would depend upon whether you gave them permission to ... or not!

    Can you be more specific Melanie? I've done over 100 Admin Profiles installations on a wide variety of server, MySQL and PHP platforms in the 3 years since I wrote it, and I've never heard of, or experienced, any issues related to hosting configurations. Can't remember anything like that in the support thread either, so I'd really appreciate some insight into whatever problems you've run into.

    Sure...

    I have 5 carts all 1.3.8a and all php 5.25 or better running it. It tends to forget permissions, which then the admin must reset.

    I also have issues on all with modules not getting the permissions until actually accessing the module will it be available in the permissions menu.

    Only other issue I have is that 2 employees of these companies (2 separate carts) easily cracked it and were able to access everything.

    Oddly, I wasn't able to figure our how they did it however.. could have been poor password maintenance on the part of the super admin.

    The only other thing I hate is when developers install it and lock shop owners out and then we are left to try to move them w/o any access to a more proper environment... Unfortunately we have seen this too many times to count.

    All in all it suits the purpose, but can be (at least for me) a bit dodgy... but effective.
