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

[kuroi]

Firstly that should read install_admin_profiles.sql. After more than a year of operation and six releases, I'm amazed that nobody has pointed that out before.

If you don't know whether your Zen Cart was installed with a database prefix or not, I recommend installing Admin Profiles by using Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patches, as then you don't need to worry about this question.

Ok thanks that makes more sense I was just confused by that file name LOL. I will work on this tonight.

Thanks a bunch for the quick response

Thank you for drawing my attention to this error, which has been corrected ready for any future releases.

Help please. I'm usually pretty good at this stuff



Firs how do I know if I'm using a prefix_not sure what that means

I don't see an install-adminlevels.sql file to run?

Can someone please point me in the right direction.

THanks!

There appears to be a couple of errors/typos in the install.txt file. Perhaps it is for an older version.

1) When they are referring to the prefix, you can tell if your tables have a prefix by viewing the DB in something like phpMyAdmin. Do your tables start with something like zc_? For example, is you first table zc_address_book? My button push installs (usually provided by your host) will ask if you would like to use a prefix, or they will offer you that option.

2) The 'install-adminlevels.sql' file seems to be named 'install_admin_profiles.sql' now.

Good luck.

Kuroi,

I have super orders installed and I installed your patch to address the security issue that we discussed yesterday. When navigating to pages within 'super orders' (newer pages than your install) I a security clearance error.

"Sorry, your security clearance does not allow you to access this resource.
Please contact your site administrator if you believe this to be incorrect.
Sorry for any inconvenience."

I am assuming this can be addressed within the DB table 'admin_files'. Is this correct? If so, do you have some information regarding naming structure needed? Would it match up with the menu names for the page?

Any advice would be a real time saver. Thanks.

I haven't actually used super orders personally, but am aware of it as one of three mods that needs some exceptional handling in Admin Profiles. In this case because, unusually, it has pages located within the mod that aren't referenced directly from the Admin menu system.

To deal with this you would need to set up extra box files in your admin/includes/boxes/extra_boxes folder. The super orders pages should then appear in Admin > Tools > Admin Settings (or at least I hope so, this is all a bit theoretical).

Anyway, to save you some time, here --> super_orders.zip <-- are the box files that you need. Please let me know if this works.

Kuroi,

Worked great. Thanks for your help!

Hi All!

Before i install this great contribution i just wanted to verify that the admin profiles 1.0.6 will work with ZC 1.3.7 - it looks like it will from other people. Also just wanted to verify that any additional mods that i add i have to modify the boxes with the access granted three line code?

Anyone else have anything to look out for when installing, etc?

As always I appreciate everyone's help!

Thanks - Zack

It will.

Not sure I understand, but I'll take a stab - you will need to modify the boxfile for any mod that has an admin page that you install in future - there are instructions for doing this in the release package.

It's all in the installation instructions (unless you're using Super Orders!)

Hi Kuroi - I really appreciate your quick response. can't wait to install it! :)

Thanks again - zack
