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

[kuroi]

Installing the 1.3.8 patch files on a 1.3.7 Zen Cart is a bad idea. However, that's not your immediate problem. The problem is that you haven't actually installed admin profiles, but rather a slightly dodgy offshoot, the name of which escapes me at the moment, but which is discussed earlier in this thread, but not supported here (or as far as I know anywhere).

You are correct. And thanks for the quick response.

I installed the 1.36 version (your official version) and it works great!

Thanks for your help.

Just to let you know I have installed the new version for 1.3.9 (admin_profiles_v1_1_0) on a test server and it seems to be playing the game just fine. I'll keep you in touch if there are any problems.

Not sure if you're going to support this or not. Frustrating I am sure not to have feedback.

Kuroi,

Regarding v1_1_0.


In line 229ish of the functions/admin_profiles.php file it reads:

    { // remove adminID for users with cookies off, wherever it appears in the URL
      $page = str_replace('?zenAdminID=' . (int)$_GET['zenAdminID'], '', $page);
      $page = str_replace('&zenAdminID=' . (int)$_GET['zenAdminID'], '', $page);

I suspect that the (int) is a typo.

[kuroi]

Very gently put, and absolutely correct. Thanks for reporting it.

Hello Kuroi,

I had a problem with my admin profile module. I just installed the google analytics module into my zen cart, then I went to the menu tools/admin setting to set the permission for that module.
The google analytics module is there and I could tick the module box, but it the system will not save the changes. Everytime the “Save Changes” button was clicked, system just direct me to the admin home page and did not save the changes. Actually besides google analytics, I have coupon restrict & email export module that I could configure since admin profile module does not save the changes.
Please kindly help.

Below is the version of system I am currently using.
Zen Cart ver 1.3.7.1
Database Patch level 1.3.7.1
Admin profiles ver 1.0.6
I have never upgraded my Zen cart

Kind regards,
Jimmy

Hi Jimmy

I suspect that you have installed the Zen Cart security patch that added additional requirements to form handling, for which Admin Profiles needed tweaking.

Two options:

1. Upgrade to a latter and more secure version of Zen Cart and use a version of Admin Profiles that has these changes built in.
2. Do a comparison of Admin Profiles versions 1.0.7 and 1.0.7.1 and retrofit the changes between them to your version.

Dear Kuroi,

Thanks for your prompt response. I will look at the options and try one accordingly. Again, thanks for your help.

Regards,
Jimmy

Hi Kuroi, I've installed this mod and it's awesome....no issues installing it here so far *knock on wood* lol

I do have a question though...please forgive me if it has been asked and answered, I did do a search

When I create a test admin user and restrict what they can access, they can still see customer and order information on the initial admin index page. If they click the links there they'll get the permissions denied message, but I would prefer them not to be able to see customer/order information if I haven't assigned them permissions to that area.

Is there a way to restrict certain info from showing dependant on permissions?

@LissaE

I know this has been covered before and am pretty certain that it's in this thread, though way back. Nearer the beginning than the current position.

In outline the solution is to wrap if statements around each of those blocks in the admin.php page to show them only if the logged in admin is in a list of those allowed to see them. So slightly tangential to Admin Profiles but using a approach with some elements in common.
