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

[kuroi]

Hello everyone,

I caould really use some help figuring out an error message that i am getting when logging into my admin section of my cart. to give a breif history i was installing an addon i got for the zencart addon to create restricted admin profiles and things went wrong. i am getting this error message on the home page after i have logged in:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: menu_header_visible() in D:\inetpub\foxmar\foxshoppe\admin\includes\boxes\extra_boxes\modules_dhtml.php on line 15

i have tried to restore the cart to the most recent backup (both file and database) and i am still getting the error message. Can anyone please help me to figure this out.

Thanks!!

The error message is confirming what you said in your post, namely that Admin Profiles hasn't been installed properly. in particular the functions file (admin/includes/functions/admin_profiles.php) appears to have been missed, or put in the wrong place.

Hi Kuroi

I have a weird problem in a zen of a friend. She have installed admin profiles working well. Have 2 languages.

For example, in the configuration menu, I have not access to Layout Settings page... in the admin settings page... that page is checked under Configuration Menu... but again... I have listed that page under 3rd. party contributions... I check this box... save... but never is saved... so I never have access to layout settings... and a lot of other pages...

The lady who install the zen for her... delete the user id 1, so my friend is 2 and she is the owner... so, she need all privileges... but she don't have it...

could you please help me?

thanks in advance...

Have you tried going into the database and changing her admin_id to be "1"?

when I edit admin permission in the Tools/admin setting
and check them all, when I return it's not saved and it says
"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."
my version of zencart is 1.3.0.1
there are some add ons I have installed, google analytics, emai archiver, ... and the box in front of them stays unchecked.

I also installed the security patch and rename my admin folder name. I 'm not sure if this name change has anything to do with it.

What version of Admin Profiles are you using?

[kuroi]

I have a new version of Admin Profiles with some distinct advantages over the older version.

It's written for Zen Cart 1.3.9 and tested against PHP 5.3.
It applies a much higher standard of data sanitization.
It does away with the need to edit box files.
It's been completely restructured to make the steps needed for installation, upgrade and even removal clearer.

However, every nook and cranny has had a Spring clean, so I want to get some feedback about usability and some beta testing before releasing it into the wild.

If you've got a few minutes and can help out, you can download it from here. Please don't use it on live sites yet, and don't post your feedback in this support thread. PM it too me.

I've installed Admin profiles (new site on ISP, 1.3.9c), only Cherry Zen & Image Handler 2.0-zc13, no products, but when I get into admin, I don't have the "Tools", "Gift Certificates/Coupons" or "Extras" !?
Those were available before I installed Admin Profiles.

I have done the sql 1st and than uploaded all the files, so what am I missing??

Which version are you using?
Does the rest of the page display?
What changes have you made to your box files. and have you double checked the syntax?
Have you added any files in the extra_boxes folder?
Do you have any files in your boxes folder that don't normally live there (e.g. backups)?

Quick tip for anyone struggling with WHY is keeps on denying pages the first time you visit that page, even though you thought you'd ticked all the boxes:

Just get a plugin for your browser that lets you open ALL links on a page at once. Then click a heading so that you get the accessible menu (a great long list of links).
Then open them all. Yes, all of them, in new tabs in a new browser window.

THEN go back to the admin profiles menu, run it again, and you'll see lots of extra stuff to tick :)

After I made my post, I read of your upgrade and will try everything again with new install and your updated version.... willing to test.

well this is odd...

i have installed Admin Profiles on a test 139c site but nothing shows. (Stable version from downloads area (v1.0.7.1))

followed the instructions:
ran SQL, completed no errors
uploaded the ADMIN folder to my site
added the define statement to admin/includes/languages/english.php

went to the admin... and no change???
No sign at all that i have installed Admin Profiles.
No error messages, no nothing.. just the normal ZC admin before an Admin Profiles install.

I have checked with FileZilla and the Admin Profile files are there?

any ideas?
i have installed this mod tens of times while playing with ZC cart on test site and never had a problem before..?

[Shane78]

*cough* forgot to upload the edited admin/admin.php file...

see, thats what c0cky familiarity does to you!!!
