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

[peanut77]

Totally bizarre. Download via the download section, unziped using winzip 10, ftp'd using ipswitch professional.

I'll just regather my files from the version that is working. Thank you again for your time - I thought I had some how managed to do something stupidly wrong and couldn't figure out what as it is a fab module and really easy to install!

Cheers.

Starting with a set of files that you know to be clean is the right way to go. Then if you have a problem again, check them out at each step to see which one is introducing the corruption. Good luck.

Ok, since 4:30 this morning, I have been reading through the pages of this forum, and following the steps included in your latest download of admin profiles. I use zen 1.3.7.1 and everything has been working fine. The only mod I have done to my cart was to add a template (PC01-passion cove).

I was able to add an admin to the cart and enter username/pw/email. I can log in as that person. I realized after setting this up that I had forgotten patch 3 in your instructions, so after editing the english.php file as directed, I tried to get my admin page to show the icon as you mention (the orange one with the P). I log in under my main login (not as the second user that I added) and everything looks fine. However, when I click on Tools/Admin Settings, all that comes up is a blank, white, page. I have noticed that whenever I open a .php file (particularly the english.php) and edit it, and then save it, it totally takes the formatting out of it. Does this have an effect on how the .php file performs? I've got a mediocre understanding of all this, and right now my head is ready to explode from all this reading.

thanks in advance!

Hello,

Great Mod Kuroi...

I had to re install the mod...now when i go to the admin settings I no longer see the orange icon. I have tried several re installs with no luck.

Any suggestions ?

Installed the mod but had one small problem with one of my extra modules, Customer Loyalty Rewards. This mod does not appear as a choice under one of the existing admin pulldown menus but instead has its own pulldown menu in admin. After I followed Kuroi's instructions for updating the box file, the menu for Customer Loyalty Rewards was still not appearing. So I had to modify the box file to the following:

if (!defined('IS_ADMIN_FLAG')) {
  die('Illegal Access');
}

  $za_contents = array();
  $za_heading = array();
  $za_heading = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_CUSTOMER_REWARDS_ADMIN, 'link' => zen_href_link(FILENAME_ALT_NAV, '', 'NONSSL'));


$options = array( array('box' => BOX_CUSTOMER_REWARDS_SET_POINTS_MAINT_ADMIN, 'page' => FILENAME_CUSTOMER_REWARDS_POINTS_MAINT_ADMIN),
					array('box' => BOX_CUSTOMER_REWARDS_SET_EXCLUDED_ITEMS_ADMIN, 'page' => FILENAME_CUSTOMER_REWARDS_POINTS_RESTRICT),
					array('box' => BOX_CUSTOMER_REWARDS_CUSTOMER_ADMIN, 'page' => FILENAME_CUSTOMER_REWARDS_CUSOMER_MAINT),
					array('box' => BOX_CUSTOMER_REWARDS_REPORT_ADMIN, 'page' => FILENAME_CUSTOMER_REWARDS_REPORT)
				);

foreach ($options as $key => $value)
	if (page_allowed($value['page'])=='true') $za_contents[] = array('text' => $value['box'], 'link' => zen_href_link($value['page'], '', 'NONSSL'));
?>
<!-- customer_rewards_admin //-->
<?php
echo zen_draw_admin_box($za_heading, $za_contents);
?>
<!-- customer_rewards_admin_eof //-->

I didn't write this out myself, but instead just hacked together the missing parts from the original box file into the new box file version. Then it worked perfectly, or at least I have not found any problems yet.

Thanks, Kuroi, for the nice mod!

This doesn't sound like anything to do with Admin Profiles and everything to do with a text editor that's corrupting your files. Care to tell us which one you're using?

DId you re-apply the patch to admin.php to put the orange icon back in?

Notepad. That's what opens the .php files by default. Do you have suggestions on something that would work better?

For quick edits I use Notepad++, a free download completely unrelated to the similarly named, but very poor, Windows program.

I use HTML-Kit, also a free program you can download from the internet. But I doubt that notepad would corrupt a php file. Maybe it is the program you are using to upload it to your server?
