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

[kuroi]

First, please excuse me if this has already been asked. I was unable to find an answer.

So, I am using Admin Profiles to restrict access to two other people. These people will be processing orders and adding products to the Catalog. So that they do not mess up my settings I don’t want them to have access to the nuts and bolts of the Cart. I would however, like them to have access to change their passwords if need be. I attempted to give them access to the Tools menu and then access to the Admin Settings. I did not check off the Admin Controls* box listed under Third Party mods.

Unfortunately, this gives them access to change their passwords but also everyone else’s and gives them access to the Admin Controls which defeats the purpose.

Does anyone know how I could restrict their access to resetting their passwords only?

Thank you much.

Amazingly, this hasn't been asked before. And you're right. I have made a note of this for consideration for future releases.

Sorry, one more thing I just noticed. No one, myself included even with full admin privileges, is allowed to have their Password resent from the Admin Login (in case they forget).

How may I turn this back on?

I suspect that you may be using one of the older versions of Admin Profiles, as this was fixed several releases back. Which version are you using?

[kuroi]

Nope.

The only change I made from the install instructions was to re-name the .sql file to mysql_admin_profiles_106.sql and put it in zc_install/sql/plugins/ in order to get it to run at the correct point at the install.

It's a prefix-less DB, with no caching on MySQL 5.0.20.

You're venturing into new ground here. Are the tables being created when you execute the SQL this way?

Have you installed the user tracking mod? From your error messages it looks as though you may have only installed to extra files included with Admin Profiles to allow user tracking to work with it.

Is the user tracking a separate mod or is it contained within the admin profile mod?
Is its a separate mod, is it located in the download section?

Thank you for your help!

It's a separate mod. Beyond that, I'm afraid I know nothing about it.

That's curious. I'm unable to reproduce this with the current version. There were some problems with this with a long time ago due to a Zen Cart issue when PHP register_globals was switched on. But this was fixed in Zen Cart in version 1.3.0.1 or 1.3.0.2 I think.

What version of Zen Cart are you using? What version of Admin Profiles? And do you have registers_global turned on?

They certainly are, i've got tables for admin_menu_headers, admin_visible_headers, admin_menus and admin_allowed_tables.

Anything else I should look for?

I had the same experience, fresh install of Zen Cart 1.3.8a and Admin Profiles 1.0.6 from the downloads. I applied the fix listed in the Contribution:Admin Profiles Wiki and everything seems to be working. sort of.

I tested this on two servers one with Register Globals OFF and one Register Globals ON (I know I know, but this is not under my control). The patch from the wiki enabled the resend password function on both servers.

On the server with Register Globals OFF everything seems to function normally, but on the server with Register Globals ON if I try to check the "password forgotten" under Admin Profiles and click the "Save Changes" button i get logged off and the change is not made, but the password resend function still works. I also have to clear my browser cookies to log back on.

I will tipping back Heinekens on beaches of Big Island for the next few days, so I will not be able to respond to any questions about my experience untill I get back.

Thanks,
Jim

Are they populated?
