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

The recently-released Admin security patch adds a security token to most forms that update the database. More security is a good thing. However in this case the new security token prevents current versions of Admin Profiles from updating admin user profiles.

Attached is a patch that makes Admin Profiles files compatible with the Zen Cart patch. Simply replace your admin/admin_control.php file with the one in the zip archive below. The Admin Profiles patch will work whether or not you have the Zen Cart security patch installed, and so is recommended.

A full updated version of Admin Profiles will be submitted to the downloads area for approval within the next few minutes.

Hi Kuroi

How do I insert debug statements to find out what my issue is?

Thanks for the Admin Profiles patch for the ZC security patch.

I had overlooked it before today. Is there a way you could send out to other Admin users a single notice about your update? I just worry that other Admin Profile users who might have missed the first Admin Profiles security patch notice will find themselves later locked out (and I bet cause some confusion on this thread).

Just a thought.

Hi,

I'm using Zen Cart v1.3.8a/v1.3.8 with Admin Profile. I'm not sure about it's version so I'm just pasing a header:

/**

* @package admin profiles

* @copyright Copyright kuroi web design 2006-2007

* @copyright Portions Copyright 2004 Jonathan Kontuk

* @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce

* @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0

* @version $Id: admin_profiles.php - last updated 2006-05-01 by kuroi

*/

My problem is that even if I log in as the most privileged user (I tested it also with another administrative user account) I cannot set up user permissions. I am able to see f.ex. this page: http://<my_domain>/store/<admin_path>/admin_control.php?adminID=3 and I am able to check any fields abut as soon as I click "Save Changes" it takes me to admin's home page and when I check again user settings they are NOT changed.

Thy only way I can modify them is to change <prefix>_allowed_pages DB table.

Can you please help me to fix it?

Anybody can download use Admin Profiles from the downloads area with no need to identify themselves. Also many developers put it on sites for their clients. So there is no central registry of users and the only way that I know of to communicate with people with an interest in this mod is via this thread.

Sounds like you've applied the Zen Cart security patch, but not the Admin Profiles patch that goes with it. Look back 6 posts.

Thank you so much. That's exactly what I needed.

Hi Kuroi,

I am contemplating the installation of your AddOn and I read the install.txt that comes with it and this seems like a great and easy to install AddOn but I have one little problem understanding or anticipating the amount of work that needs to be done considering the fact that I have several AddOns installed already:

1. captcha_using_ttf__gd_v2-8_28-04-2007.zip
2. hidecategories_1-10.zip
3. sitemapxml__formerly_google_sitemap_2-1-0.zip
4. faq_page_v1-0.zip

In your install.txt you write that "A well constructed contribution will either add to or provide a box file".

My question is: How do I know which AddOn (that I installed) requires this very careful and tedious manual editing of its box file?

Thanks very much.

Yep, that is what I thought. It was just an administrative hope.
