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

[waytoolate]

I was installing the Admin_Profiles to 3 carts (1.3.8) with no other admin add-ons.
The first store went well and works fine. However, I got interrupted and confused with the 2nd and 3rd stores and overwrote the files with one without first applying the patch.

When I tried to log-in, it gave me messages that it couldn't find the proper tables.

Using PHPMyAdmin, I was able to run the patch to create the proper tables. Now, when I try to log-in, I get this error:

1054 Unknown column 'admin_id' in 'field list'
in:
[select admin_id from zen_admin_visible_headers where header_id = '1']
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Now that I have 'stepped in it', how can I fix it?

Prompt help is greatly appreciated!

Somehow when I downloaded ZenCart today I got version 1.27bugsecurityfix. I am not sure why the site was linking to an old version, but I'm going to try upgrading to 1.3.0.1 and see if that fixes my problem.

I still would like to know where I am supposed to issue the "Import install_admin_profiles.sql" command though.

Where did you download Zen Cart from? 1.3.0.1 is a very old version too. If you're upgrading go to 1.3.8a.

The installation SQL is best installed via Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patches

[QUOTE=kuroi]Admin Profiles is a user access control system for the Admin part of your site, allowing you to turn menus on and off and grant or disable access to specific Admin functions for each user.

Excellent contrib. Easy quick install! Just what the doctor ordered.
Thanks for the work.

Hello, Im trying to install Admin Profiles on my site and when i have compleated the install i log onto my admin page and insted of the Configuration etc.. links it comes up with "illegal access" when i did a trial instal on my local server with the zencart version 1.3 it worked perfect, but when i install onto my live server i get that error.

can anyone please help me with this?

[kuroi]

This is a new one. Just it just say illegal access on an otherwise white screen, or is there more that might help us to understand where the message is coming from?

Quick question. I installed this mod under 1.3.02 today, with Super Orders and with Image Handler 2. So far everything works except for one little issue.

If I go into the Coupon editor and click the 'Restrictions' button, none of my admins have permission. Even if they have every single item checked in the permissions dialog.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I have now reproduced your problem and I see what you mean. If you wish to change languages, I recommend leaving the Admin Profiles screen first. Changing language. Then returning.

Sadly though, it probably won't do you much good, as Admin Profiles is resolutely monolingual. I could allow the internationalisation of the header text and pick up other language alternatives for the configuration menu. However, the majority of the text on the page is derived from the names of the executable files that make up Admin, so to make it multilingual a large number of files and all calls to them would have to be re-named, and keep being re-named with each new release of Zen Cart.

As the the error message, I'm going to leave the bug in there. As changing language brings no benefits, taking away the error message would do no more than you could do by clicking on your broiwser's back button. Not a great solution I know, but happily it will only be an issue for a limited period of time.

This is because the Zen Cart Admin area is due for a re-write in release 1.6. Hopefully the Zen Cart team will be taking the need for a user access system into account - I will certainly be encouraging them to - and if it is done as part of core Zen Cart it will be much easier to deal with issues like the one that you have raised.
