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

[Sawhorse]

Thanks a lot. It was in permission screen for main admin account. I was sure that for main admin everything is switched on by default. So, it's working now.

Glad to hear everything is working as anticipated.

I just installed 1.1.1 and now only see the configuration button in the admin screen.
I double checked my edited files against the originals, and everything looks like the instructions say.

I have two admins and they both show the same thing.

Any ideas? I really don't want to uninstall this mod.

Thanks in advance,

Joe

Got it figured out.
Thanks anyway...

I know this has probably been asked before but after about 90 pages I still cant find what I am looking for so here goes.

I have the newest zen cart installed on my site. I downloaded the Admin Profiles mod today and have read over the instructions on installation.
My question is this. When I get to this screen from Admin/tools/install SQL patch, it says in the directions to run the following
install_admin_profiles.sql. Im new to Zen Cart and do not know how to "Run" this. I tried putting it in the box and hitting send but i get errors. I know I am not doing it right. If there is a tutorial on running this, please direct me to it, or if anyone has any info that would help me out, that would be great!

Thanks!

What you actually do is to open install_admin_profiles.sql in a text editor such as notepad (NOT MSWord or other word-processor) and then copy and paste the content into the box and then hit Send

Ryk, thanks so much! Another question if I may. I am so totally new and learning so much from you all.

I did renam my original Admin Folder, like instructed, and in these instructions that came with the mod, it says to rename the admin folder in the mod before I drag and drop to my ftp. My question is, do I rename it to the same as my admin folder that is already there, or do I just rename it something else.

I have a good handle on editing the code lines, using Notepad++ and all, but I don't want to name the file wrong.

Thanks so much!

You rename it to exactly the same as you renamed your admin folder as you want the files to go in there when you upload them to your site.

Thanks so much! Im a first time user and managed to get my Zen up loaded and running the first time no problems. This is my first Mod ever and I surely want to understand it all.

You guys are the best!

I have followed all directions for installing the mod. I have logged into my admin area, none of my menu options are available, only the configuration menu. I followed the instructions to the letter, but obviously missed something.
I have logged out and logged back in to try to get it to come up.

will I have to uninstall the mod and start over again.

These are the steps I have taken: (I have the newest version of zencart 1.3.9h)

1. I did run the install sql patch from the Admin/Tools/Install SQL Patch first.

2. Changed the admin folder in the mod.
3. Dropped it into my root directory on my ftp.
4 made the required changes in my files as per the instructions.
5. Logged back into my admin area.

Im not sure how to attach a screenshot or copy and paste here so that I can show my coding changes.

any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I really really do not want to uninstall/reinstall this mod. Please, if you need further info, I will try to put it up here.

Thanks so much

Ok, 86 the last question I asked. I figured it out and it worked right away! Ill tell you what happened if you promise not to laugh.

I am on dial up #1 - yeah yeah, we don't even get cable where we live.

#2 - I could not get FileZilla to work correctly so I used Core FTP - usually it runs top notch for me when nothing else will.

#3 - It didn't load the files.

Sooooo, I uploaded them manually to their correct directories and locations and Viola! Worked right off the bat. One of those Aha moments. Mind you I did this all on dial up so how many things could have gone wrong and did not! It only took me 20 min to upload Zen Cart via dial up so that was good as well.

Anywho, thank you all so much for allowing me to ramble, and for helping me out with the SQL thingy! Im learning as I go....and I am sure that I will be back on the boards to get help with other issues!

Thanks again!
