Admin Profiles (for v1.3.x only!) Support Thread

As you're installing, I'd recommend the install patch. Yes you can drop the files into their respective folders, including the admin.php file in the extras folder, but the english.php file needs to be patched manually in accordance with the installation instructions.

Thanks! But I'm still not clear on which of the files to install since there was a typo in the installation instructions.

is it "install_admin_profiles.sql" or "upgrade_admin_profiles.sql"

Ok I got it to work. It seems to work great now.

One other question though.

I had the "Add Customer from Admin" mod installed for v1.3.7 and that worked fine before I installed the Admin Profiles. Now when I go to Customers -> Add Customer, I get

"Sorry, your security clearance does not allow you to access this resource.

Please contact your site administrator if you believe this to be incorrect.

Sorry for any inconvenience."

I know I saw this on another thread but can't for the life of me find it again. I thought it had something to do with global settings but I can't find it.

Thanks

Never mind I found that too. I didn't see the option on the very bottom of the "admin profiles" module that allows me to enable "add customer" for authorized admins.

Great scripts! Thanks!

It's better though to follow the installation instructions about creating box files for 3rd party add-ons. What you have used here is the safety net that catches add-ons when they are executed for the first time after an Admin Profiles installation. But AP works better when it knows about them in advance.

Hi all, a total newbie here and I hope you can help.

Installed the latest zen-cart, then installed admin-profiles.

The installation works fine on my administrator login, but when I add new user and set their permissions, the new user cannot log into admin at all, just get an incorrect username or password message.

When password sent for just get the security message about not having permission to do this. Have reset password in admin, still no difference.

I reckon I've missed something somewhere, anyone any ideas?

Thanks

John

Please ignore the last post as i found the solution.

This is not a zen-cart problem, neither is it an admin-profiles problem.

The prroblem was that i was trying to add a user with a GMail account (XXX################################)

It took me ages to realise that googlemail is invisible to anyone who is not added to the GMAIL account.

Therefore, the cart would not recognise the email address in admin. Once I changed it to a hotmail address to see iof it made a difference, up came admin, with the permissions I gave to the user.

Hope this helps if anyone has the same problem.

John.

Thanks for the update. I have a version of Admin Profiles for Zen Cart 1.3.8 which will be made available within the next few days that will resolve that problem with the password forgotten function.

Well first off let me say... GREAT MOD!

but I have a question. All my modules I have added work great except for the Edit Orders module. The problem I think is it has no box files(guessing cause it does not have its own drop down menu icon?). But when in Orders and I clikc the edit button I get the message telling me I do not have permission. Is there a way to get these two to play nicely?

Here is a link to the mod in question

Well the fact that Edit Orders has no box files means you can't modify them for Admin Profiles, but it works anyway. My guess is that you need to go into the Third Party Contrib section of Admin Profile and give yourself permission to see the Edit Order mod. Typical behaviour.
BTW, the Edit Orders mod has a lot of quirks and when you least expect it
