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

[AshleyNG2]

Hi all,
After enabling this module I cannot use the AJAX search feature of another module --- Products by Attribute Stock.

If anybody has a solution please advise, will try putting some files in the override (products_with_attributes_stock.php, products_with_attributes_stock_ajax.php) to see if it solves anything and will post back with results.

Thanks.

EDIT: Not sure how to add these files to the overrides (line 23), any ideas?

Yes that would be a bit worrying. What happens when you go back and look at the Admin Profile for that user, does it come up showing your restrictions? It's very unlikely that this will be the case, as a new user starts with no permissions, you have to deliberately add them in.

More likely IMO, is that this is a manifestation of the Zen Cart registers_globals bug. This means that although you log in as one user, Zen Cart switches you to be another. Here's an except from the archived support forum on this problem. Although your symptoms aren't quite the same, it would take something like this for the mod to break down so completely.



Later in that thread I suggested a way of testing whether Admin is properly recognising you as the user you logged on. Here's an extract ...

Knowing whether this does reveal a shift in your user identity would be useful to me for supporting Admin Profiles. If it doesn't, we'll have to try to think of some other possible causes.

I recently installed admin profiles on 1.3.9h , but it showing only the configuration tab in the admin area.

all other tabs are missing.

i do not know how can i get back all those tabs.

kindly help me.

I reinstalled the admin profiles again now, and this time, all is well except for the admin settings tab.
when i click on the admin settings tab, then i get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/...../public_html/zc_admin/admin.php on line 1

can anyone help me please?

Hi Kuroi!
Ok, I went and made a BIG MISTAKE! I accidentally turned off the admin function on my own profile and I am unable to make any changes to mine or any other admins now! (I thought I was disabling another admin...but it was mine)

Is there a way to regain access to the admin functions?

Thank-you!!

(By the way, everything was working PERFECTLY until I messed up! The install was very simple and straight forward, functioned like a charm! KUDOS to you!!)

Hi all.

I am using Zen Cart 1.3.7 and the v.1.0.7 version of Admin Profiles.

Recently for one reason or another when I try to make changes to a users permissions, it boots me back to the admin dashboard screen (the one you get when you first log in) and upon reentering the admin permissions error no changes have been saved.

Any ideas?

I have kind of traced the problem into my application top script (i.e in admin_controls.php I have

echo "here"; 

before and after the

 include(application_top.php); 

and only the first one shows up.

Regards, John.

Disregard that I jsut reinstalled the files and all is now well.

Thanks for a great mod!

It sounds as though some of the security features from a later version of Zen Cart may have found their way into your site. But by reinstalling you kicked 'em out again.

But you really need to think about going the who hog and upgrading as 1.3.7 has known vulnerabilities fixed in later versions.

I just installed this mod in my store. When I click on edit permissions and check the boxes for the categories, so I can access my prducts, and click save changes it takes me back to the admin home page and I still cannot get into my categories.

Can you tell me what I've done wrong please?
