    Default Admin Developers Tool Kit not searching my Admin files

    using ZenCart 1.3.7:

    Although I have selected "All Files admin" in the bottom search box of the Developer's Tool Kit, when searching for verbage that I know is in the admin files, the tool returns: "Searching 0 files .. for: [my search term] and displays: Error: No matching Configuration Keys were found ...

    Is this because I renamed my admin directory to something else for better security? If so, how do I configure the Developer's Tool Kit to search using the revised directory name?

    I would hope it searches on 'DIR_WS_ADMIN' where I have already defined the name of the admin directory.

    The Developer's Toolkit *is* in the admin, so it already knows your admin folder name.
    If it's saying "searching 0 files" then it suggests that you've not successfully selected anything from the pulldown, and are only searching for the name of a constant.

    Thanks for the response. I do use the pull-downs. I still have the problem.
    Here's my procedure:
    1. Display the Developer's Tool Box.
    2. Scroll down to the bottom search box titled "Look-up in all files"
    3. Enter the search term in the box labeled "Key or Name". The term used is a displayed word or phrase I wish to change.
    4. In the box labeled: "All Files Look-ups" I selected "All Files - Admin" and pressed the search button.
    I have also tried "All Files - Catalog/Admin" with the same expected result.
    Just to make certain I wasn't crazy, I picked a number of other words displayed elsewhere on the admin new product description page and failed to get a result. Heck, I even tried some words displayed right there on the Developers Tool Kit page including "Developers" with the same result.
    I have the following contributions that were added to admin over time:

    Recover Cart Sales
    Email Archive Search
    Google XML Sitemap
    Google Froogle Feeder
    Live Product Search Feeder

    My difficulty using the Developers Tool Kit to search in admin files has predated the installation of most, if not all, of the contributions.

    Any additional guidance is appreciated.

    I still have the problem and no solution figued out yet. Anyone have any ideas what went wrong? I did a winmerge of related files on the server against the original downloaded ZenCart install files and found no descrepancies.

    Default Re: Admin Developers Tool Kit not searching my Admin files

    Thanks for the reply Ajeh.

    I plan to upgrade this site to 1.3.8a in the next couple of weeks. At this point, that seems to be the most time effective way to solve the problem.

    If that fixes it I will close this thread with a reply to that effect.
