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

[pierrick]

Hi all,

I have installed Admin Profiles a while back -very easily- and it has performed flawlessly since.
I've just added another contrib to the admin module today (Add Customers from Admin) and behold, Admin Profile saw this addition and added it to the profile page automatically.
Thumbs up Kuroi. Truly a nice piece of work. Thanks heaps!

I've installed the admin profile it works fine but I disabled 2 menus both catalog menu and tools menu. However they are still visible but when you click on any item, it shows that the user can't access that area, which is good.

But is there anyway to remove the menus?

thanks,

Rodrigo

I have a similar issue. I've installed Admin Profiles and it works fine all except for the Tools menu. The Tools menu won't change no matter what I do. I can add in the missing "if" statement to /admin/includes/boxes/tools_dhtml.php:

if (menu_header_visible('Tools')=='true') {

This will get the menu to hide properly if I want to hide the whole thing, but I can't turn off individual items. Any help is much appreciated... I wonder why I had to make this extra edit in the first place? Odd.

You shouldn't have had to. As you didn't say which version of Admin Profiles you are using, I've been back through all of them, and that line isn't missing in any of them. This suggests instead that the version you have installed has one or more corrupted files.

I recommend downloading and re-installing the files again, watching carefully for any FTP errors. You shouldn't need to re-patch the database though.

@pierrick:

[edit] - I thought you were talking about the additional customers fields.

I just installed this mod and have to say - it ROCKS! What a great add-on! And while the install notes did indeed look daunting, all worked very nicely (except for a parse error with every box file I created caused by a missing closing bracket!)

I do have a slight problem, though. It seems the Third Party Mods listed at the bottom have a couple of extras which I can't identify. The "source" of the Admin settings page shows the following mods:

<div class="checkboxBlock">

<label class="permissionBox"><input name="admin_control" class="Third Party Mods" type="checkbox" checked="on" value="on">admin control*</label>

<label class="permissionBox"><input name="Super Orders" class="Third Party Mods" type="checkbox" checked="on" value="on">Super Orders</label>

<label class="permissionBox"><input name="CAPTCHA Validation" class="Third Party Mods" type="checkbox" checked="on" value="on">CAPTCHA Validation</label>

<label class="permissionBox"><input name="super_orders" class="Third Party Mods" type="checkbox" checked="on" value="on">super orders</label>

<label class="permissionBox"><input name="" class="Third Party Mods" type="checkbox" value="off"></label>

<label class="permissionBox"><input name="super_batch_status" class="Third Party Mods" type="checkbox" checked="on" value="on">super batch status</label>

<label class="permissionBox"><input name="super_batch_forms" class="Third Party Mods" type="checkbox" checked="on" value="on">super batch forms</label>

<label class="permissionBox"><input name="super_payment_types" class="Third Party Mods" type="checkbox" checked="on" value="on">super payment types</label>

<label class="permissionBox"><input name="super_report_await_pay" class="Third Party Mods" type="checkbox" checked="on" value="on">super report await pay</label>

<label class="permissionBox"><input name="super_report_cash" class="Third Party Mods" type="checkbox" checked="on" value="on">super report cash</label>

<label class="permissionBox"><input name="super_shipping_label" class="Third Party Mods" type="checkbox" checked="on" value="on">super shipping label</label>

<label class="permissionBox"><input name="super_packingslip" class="Third Party Mods" type="checkbox" checked="on" value="on">super packingslip</label>

<label class="permissionBox"><input name="super_invoice" class="Third Party Mods" type="checkbox" checked="on" value="on">super invoice</label>

<label class="permissionBox"><input name="super_data_sheet" class="Third Party Mods" type="checkbox" checked="on" value="on">super data sheet</label>

</div>

I bolded the 2 unknowns for easy reading. Questions:

1. Is the 1st unknown (input name = super_orders) the same as the 2nd label class (input name = Super Orders)? If yes, why are there 2; if no, what is the difference between super_orders and Super Orders?

2. The 2nd unknown has no name! Any ideas on where I can go to figure out how it got there and/or what it is?

Thanks for any and all help!

Could you tell me something about how you went about installing these mods and the box files that you created for them.

[rbobzin]

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

In an attempt to come up with a better "starter" store, I did a new install of Zen Cart (non-demo version), set up basic store configs in Admin, added test Ctg, sub-Ctg, product, customer and 2nd Admin person, then installed the following mods (not necessarily in this order):

- Add customers from Admin
- FCK Editor
- Super Orders 2.0
- Captcha
- Capitalize sign-up fields
- Email address exporter
- NextLevel Zen Admin
- and lastly Admin Profiles

I followed each step as listed in the Admin Profiles install notes:

1. Used phpMyAdmin (no errors), then checked to confirm all tables properly added
2. Checked to make sure no "modified" Zen Cart files would be overwritten, then copied all to Admin folder
3. Applied all 3 patches manually
4. Created new box files (per updating_box_files.txt instructions) for Email Exporter, LinkPoint and Add Custs for Admin, and copied the 3 Super Order box files you provided a link to in this forum
5. Did NOT do "pages available for all users" step
6. Logged into Admin to set Permissions

NOTE: This is where I encountered the parse error from each of the 3 box files I created. I added the missing bracket to each file, then reloaded the Admin Permissions page.

I checked all boxes, then saved. Went back into Permissions page, noticed several (previously checked) boxes were now unchecked, so checked all again and saved. Then, while testing features in Admin of the other mods, whenever I ran into "permission denied" screen, went back to Permissions page, checked all boxes again, returned to that specific feature to test again and this time no "permission denied" problem. This happened several times (always with an untested feature) but re-checking all boxes in Permissions page always fixed it.

I noticed the "nameless" checkbox at the bottom of the Permissions screen, but assumed it would eventually get named once I ran into that particular feature during my testing, but it never did. That's why I then finally looked at the source of the Permissions page to see where that box was coming from, and posted relevant part to this thread.

Hope that helps!

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?

Hi,

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..

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

Thanks!

[zackf]

i don't have the P to change individual permissions either, but i found away around it. If you manally load the script you can change them. just use /admin/admin_control.php?adminID=1 or 2 or 3 (you just use whatever number is assigned to that admin). if you assign permissions in a subcategory for example My Store under Configuration Menu you must also check off Configuration menu (highlighted in blue) as well otherwise the Configuration drop down menu wont appear for them.
