Symptom: can't update an Admin Profile's checkboxes for assigned permissions

Workaround:
/admin/profiles.php
Find around line 199:

Code:

---

  <form id="profileBoxes" name="profileBoxes" action="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_PROFILES) ?>" method="post">

---

and replace that line with:

Code:

---

  <?php echo zen_draw_form('profileBoxes', FILENAME_PROFILES, 'action=update') ?>

Symptom: Difficulty installing on Windows hosts - zc_install won't complete the database installation. Error message triggered instead.

Solution: Edit 3 files:

/zc_install/sql/mysql_zencart.sql
Replace the following lines:

Code:

---

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS admin_activity_log;
CREATE TABLE admin_activity_log (
  log_id bigint(15) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  access_date datetime NOT NULL default '0001-01-01 00:00:00',
  admin_id int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  page_accessed varchar(80) NOT NULL default '',
  page_parameters text default '',
  ip_address varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
  flagged tinyint NOT NULL default '0',
  attention varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  gzpost mediumblob NOT NULL default '',
  PRIMARY KEY  (log_id),
  KEY idx_page_accessed_zen (page_accessed),
  KEY idx_access_date_zen (access_date),
  KEY idx_flagged_zen (flagged),
  KEY idx_ip_zen (ip_address)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;

---

with this instead:

Code:

---

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS admin_activity_log;
CREATE TABLE admin_activity_log (
  log_id bigint(15) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  access_date datetime NOT NULL default '0001-01-01 00:00:00',
  admin_id int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  page_accessed varchar(80) NOT NULL default '',
  page_parameters text,
  ip_address varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
  flagged tinyint NOT NULL default '0',
  attention varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  gzpost mediumblob,
  PRIMARY KEY  (log_id),
  KEY idx_page_accessed_zen (page_accessed),
  KEY idx_access_date_zen (access_date),
  KEY idx_flagged_zen (flagged),
  KEY idx_ip_zen (ip_address)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;

/zc_install/sql/mysql_upgrade_zencart_139_to_150.sql
Replace this line:

Code:

---

ALTER TABLE admin_activity_log ADD COLUMN gzpost mediumblob NOT NULL default '';

---

with:

Code:

---

ALTER TABLE admin_activity_log ADD COLUMN gzpost mediumblob ;

---

/YOUR_RENAMED_admin/includes/init_includes/init_admin_history.php
add the line shown:

Code:

---

      $sql_data_array = array( 'access_date' => 'now()',
                              'admin_id' => (isset($_SESSION['admin_id'])) ? (int)$_SESSION['admin_id'] : 0,
                              'page_accessed' =>  'Log found to be empty. Logging started.',
                              'page_parameters' => '',
                              'gzpost' => '',
                              'ip_address' => substr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'],0,15)
                              );

Problem: debug logs are generated when editing Products on the Preview and on the Update

Solution: Work around ...

THIS MAY OR MAY NOT AFFECT various v1.5.0 implementations. We're posting it here "in case". Implementing this fix is safe either way.

Symptom: Admin Login "broken" in v1.5.0 - v1.5.5a with Google Chrome error: "Aw, snap"

Google Chrome 54.0.2840.59 is now forcefully disallowing the use of javascript function declarations of 'animate'. This interferes with the "spinner" that appears during admin login since v1.5.0

The fix is simple:
1. Open /admin/login.php in a code-safe text editor, such as Sublime Text:
2. Find and replace "animate(" with "waiting_spinner(". There will be 3 occurrences.
3. Save
That's it. Login should now work again.
