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

I found out how to upload the screen capture of my problem. This is the list I am talking about and the navigation above the "powered by zen cart" image:

Please, could someone help me with this. The screen capture is the one from the previous post.

The problem is that the menu with "configuration", "catalogue", "tools" shows as a vertical list of options. And, nothing happens when you click on them. I also realized just now, that this menu also shows up horizontally as it should be, but ABOVE the powered by zen cart image. When you rollover no expandable menu shows up. And nothing happens when you click on anything.

I am using Zen Cart version 1.3.8, and the Admin Profiles is 1.0.7.1 I believe, from the folder named admin_profiles_v1_0_7_1

Is the URL in the address bar something like http://yoursiteurl.com/admin/alt_nav.php and if you hover over the menu at the top, do the menu items drop down? Also, do you have javascript enabled?

It's telling you that you already have this table installed. I seem to remember that you had another similar mod installed previously. did you completely uninstall it before trying to install this one?

The superdomain can access and edit all the templates while other users can only access to one template.

Admin Profiles doesn't support this. You would need to write custom code.

Yest, The URL is something like
http://yoursiteurl.com/mystore/admin/alt_nav.php

And Javascript is enabled. In fact, the admin works just fine if I sign in as the superuser. The problem just happens for the non-superuser admins.

This sounds like normal Zen Cart behaviour and nothing to do with Admin Profiles.

Because the main menu is built from javascript, it doesn't work for users who don't have it enabled. So there is a fallback, namely that if any of the menu headings are clicked, the alt_nav page is called to list all the menu contents as per your screenshot.

Frankly it's a pain, click slightly away from where you intended and you end up where you are. I rather suspect that this will all be handled better in Zen Cart 2.0!

But Javascript is enabled. I'm using the same computer to log in the different admin accounts, and the menu just works with the superuser.

I wonder if you're describing two different problems. Absence of pulldowns in the menu could occur if you have authorised a user to have access to some of the menus, but not authorised them to access any pages within those menus..

The menu headings stacked vertically has to be because you clicked on the a menu heading, that's the only way that you can to the alt_nav page, and it doesn't matter whether you have javascript enabled or not, this will happen and is normal (if irritating) behaviour for the current version of Zen Cart.

Problem fixed. I had authorized access to the menus, but hadn't checked the pages inside. The list has dissapeared now when I log in, and everything works fine. Thanks a lot for your help. :smile:
