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

cant get this to work at all.

i have a server with fast hosts and i have uploaded all the files as said in the installing read me file, i have uploaded the sql file, and run the quiry, this said 204 done.

now when i go to the admin section is doesn't show the options for the admin.

i have ran this on a local sever on my pc and that worked perfectly fine!

any help?

also just to add this is a fress install with no other mods at all. the only mods i have mad is i have removed the htaccess file in the adim incleds file as it was stopping images and style sheets.

basically my admin hasn't changed at all!!!!!

This is awesome thank you so much for this contribution. I just have a question. I run a digital scrapbusiness and I'd like my designers to be able to upload their own products and write their own description and for example cubecart - has options to make certain things delete protected and they can only write but not edit anything. I was wondering if there is a mod for that as well ???
Thank you so much.

There's no mod like that of which I am aware. It's also interestingly different to the normal request in this general area, i.e. to restrict certain contributors to only being able to edit "their own" products. Could you tell me more about what you would want to delete-protect.

How many Admin accounts have you set up? And what is your Admin account ID number?

Well if I set it up to where each user has access to the categories section - they see the X as well so they "could" theoretiacally delete some categories along with the products in that category ... so I was just wondering if there is like something where they can only add their products but they don't see any of the edit or delete buttons ... which is no biggie this works great for now :)
Thank you :)

there are 2 admin account, i am admin number one, id1, the other admin basically just want access to be able to add products and confirm checkouts.

but basically there the second admin has full access at mo and there is little p button to edit the privalages,

works fine on my local server and its fantastic but on the real server not running, no errors on the error report log files it just as if its not loaded the mod at all, even thought all files are uploaded and i have installed the sql thought the tool pannel on the site and the error box said it was uploaded and installed.

i have even copyed the code and pasted in the sql tool online and that not worked.

is there a direct link using a http:// url to the edit privalages page for a user/admin???

This is strange, as the SQL gives complete access to the user with ID 1 and none to any other users until the first user grants permissions. So I was wondering whether you might actually have ID 2 or later, and no permissions set up.

works fine on my local server and its fantastic but on the real server not running, maybe the server .htaccess is blocking the new style sheet maybe but there is nothing coming up on the log files.

This is very unlikely as you would see evidence of it such as an internal server error if it didn't like it or unstyled content if it didn't care.

Very unlikely as it wouldn't be much of an access control system if you could bypass it that easily, but worth a try just to see the result. If you type http://www.yourstorename.com/admin/a....php?adminID=1 you should get a screen telling you that permission has been denied, whether you are logged in or not. If you get anything different in either of those situations, it would give us a big clue.

Otherwise can you take a peek into your database, and specifically your admin_visible_headers table, and tell me which header_id/admin_id pairs you see there?

all i get is a page can't be displayed screen on the link with my store name etc as if the file isn't there, dont even get the security pop up.

i cant look at my database as i am using fasthost there is not myphp software installed on the server, only a mysql interface for setting up a database name and user name etc

i have myphp on my computer can i loginto it from my pc using the user name etc?????

do you think it could be to do with the setting on say the fasthosts htaccess i have set up?? i will try urning that off and see if that fixes it.

[kitcorsa]

Belive i have sorted the problem and have got it working, sorry for an inconveniance,

think it was due to a currupted file as i got it working by downloading a fresh copy of the admin section and uploading all the files again.

thanks for your help

Phew. That's a relief. I've spent the last 10 minutes trying to login to a fast hosts account to try to find a way into the database in their structure, only for it keep crashing my browser each time. Rather glad I can abandon that. I think the account's not going to last much longer either.
