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

[msrache]

It's showing up on mine now. What I did was just to put it the patches in admin.php from the install text file included.

Hi there,

I've just tried to install this Admin Profiles modification to my new install version of Zen 1.3.7 which has no extra 'mods' installed on it.

Followed all the steps but when I now go to my Admin log-in, I get the following message.....

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: menu_header_visible()
in /homepages/34/d204809067/htdocs/zen/admin/includes/boxes/configuration_dhtml.php on line 13

This was reported once earlier on these forums - but it's not a corrupt file as I've checked the remotely hosted version and all is well.

I've checked my database tables based on some of the talk on these threads. I am Admin User ID 1 and all my tables start with the prefix I'd selected on install.

So now I'm 'snookered' in that I can't get into Admin at all! Any solution to this show-stopper?????? (My fingers are tightly crossed!)

What seems to have worked (although I've yet to fully test as got to run....) - Is that I've simply copied the function it moaned about straight into the page that was trying to access it.

That caused it too moan about another missing function - so I did the same, and repeat a few more times.

Now I get my admin menus back including this excellent new 'Admin Settings' one which I'll try later.

Question though - Do you forsee any problems arising from this fix I've done???? Obviously still grateful if there's a answer to the main issue (my prior post) as I'd prefer to understand from those that really know what they're doing!!!!

Thanks!

Hi Kuroi,

Nice Job. I had installed this and working fine. Thank you very much for this wonderful job. But I want to restrict users to categories and product label. Any idea How to do that. I am running a store where the retail shopkeepers will advertise their product in their own category. This is where I need to restrict users of admin section to view their products/category only. Would you pls suggest how to do that.

Thanks
Biren

This mod sounds like what I need. Will this work with 1.3.7?

[kuroi]

OK, but keep in mind this will all be based on recollections served up by an increasingly fault-prone memory!

Don't I know that feeling!!

I'm puzzled by this. If it weren't for your recollection of the order in which you did things, I would have suggested that you may have accessed Super Orders before adding the specific box files for that mod. However, it's not a mod that I actually use, and it's the 2nd most challenging for Admin Profiles to interpret, so there may be something else going on in there.

I would recommend going to the admin_files database table to obtain the IDs for the two rogue pages (and delete the records), and then go to the admin_allowed_pages table and delete all records that have those page_ids.

I installed this mod successfully early in the year. I'm running ZC 1.37.

My client has gone in and added categories and products. She has full permissions to access the Catalog but now cannot access most of the products.

What do I need to do?

This doesn't sound like an Admin Profile problem. AP is much more all or nothing as it cuts of access to particular functions such as editing categories and doesn't get involved at the level of individual products or categories.

Could you describe what happens when she is unable to access a product? Is there an error message? Is she redirected away from the page? Does her browser fall over?

[kuroi]

I've just uploaded Admin profiles after creating several admin accounts already. When I logged in again using other accounts, the menus are gone, but when I log in using my main account, it lets me access every admin menu. Sounds okay since I haven't set up permissions yet..

Your analysis is correct.

My question is, why is the P icon not showing up in my Admin Settings? How do I change permissions for individual admins then?

Sounds as though you haven't fully implemented step 3 of the installation instructions. Do you have the "Edit Permission" button?

[Aha see from your later post that you've now found the patches! ]

[kuroi]

Question though - Do you forsee any problems arising from this fix I've done????

Probably not, though it's not ideal.

Obviously still grateful if there's a answer to the main issue (my prior post)

Can you post the full path for the admin_profiles.php file on your remote server.

Admin Profiles doesn't do this as it restricts access to admin functions not individual categories or products.

What you're after is a much requested feature, but would be complex and difficult to maintain as am add-on module, as it would involve going into the category and product files. These change fairly frequently and are also amended by other mods with which it would clash.

Your best bet therefore is the re-write of the whole Admin scheduled for Zen Cart 1.6, when hopefully something like this might get built into the core code.
