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

@shaunz28

maurygn is right on both counts. The edit orders mod should have been auto-detected and added to the section at the bottom of your Admin Profiles pages, and edit orders is a bit buggy so watch your step.

Thanks guys for some reason it was not there to be selected last night that or my eyes were playing tricks on me but now it is.

Oh and thanks for the heads up on the Edit Orders mod, when I had read on it it seemed pretty safe but looks can be deciving

Hi everybody,

I had been using Admin profiles on a few sites with zen cart 1.3.7. Are there any known troubles of installing AP 1.0.6 on zen 1.3.8? Should I wait for a new updated version or just install an old one?

Thanks

A

I am running AP 1.0.6 on a ZC1.38a install with no problems.

Can this mod be tweaked so that the new admin would only be able to access a set category?, we do digital and need them to care for there own products and prices, but dont want them to have access to other category's, to simplify things, each designer (digital supplier) is a category

An intriguing question...
I don't see how Admin Profiles can do this since it only controls functions in the Admin Panel and ALL of the categories are a single function in Admin.
In this day of cheap server space, have you considered linking multiple sites or subdomains, each with its own copy of ZenCart. The shopping cart on the main site would have links to the subsites for product information. That would password protect the individual product databases and you could have a master admin login on all of them and use Admin Profiles to control what functions your designers could access.

Yes it can be so tweaked. But to make this work would involve lots of restrictions being inserted across the Zen Cart Admin. As a starting point, I would suggest that you would need to make changes to each of the following files:

• admin/attributes_controller.php
• admin/categories
• admin/coupon_admin.php
• admin/coupon_restrict.php
• admin/login.php
• admin/logoff.php
• admin/product.php
• admin/specials.php
• admin/includes/header.php
• admin/includes/modules/category_products.php
• admin/includes/modules/document_general/collect_info.php
• admin/includes/modules/document_product/collect_info.php
• admin/includes/modules/product/collect_info.php
• admin/includes/modules/product_free_shipping/collect_info.php
• admin/includes/modules/product_music/collect_info.php
• admin/includes/init_includes/overrides/init_admin_auth.php
• admin/admin.php

thanks for your reply Kuroi,
reading thru the forum I was pretty sure it was possible and you would be the one who knew how, I am not that experienced in php to be able to make the necessary changes on my own, I would be able, with assistance, modify files.
do you think it would be too much a project?

Is this module compatible with Zen Cart 1.3.7 or 1.3.8? I installed it on 1.38, and it seems to work, but I just want to be certain if any of the core files changed by this extension have not changed themselves between ZC 1.3.6 (current supported version for this module) and ZC 1.3.8a?

Thanks,

I have been using it for 1.3.7 and just installed for 1.3.8. No problems so far
