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

[mauryg]

Nadsab,

The menu headers, even though I disabled them for a user, are still showing up whether or not I check them off in admin permissions

I learned a long time ago, "when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras."
Let's check the simple thing first. You unchecked the individual menu items for the user. Did you ALSO uncheck the menu name itself? It is a separate box on the blue bar.
When Kuroi said "reapply the box files from the mod" he means re-copy those files from the Admin Profiles mod set, specifically the files in the admin/includes/boxes folder. These are the ones which set the menu items. Since the mod was written BEFORE v1.38a ( I think 1.35), there may have been changes made to these files between the time the mod was written and 1.38a was released. If you simply replaced the 1.38a files with the mod files, you would lose those changes.
I also installed Admin Profiles over a fresh install of v1.38a. The procedure as I remember was to install the files in the 'admin' folder and then copy in the files from the patches for v1.36. That brings you to the latest version of Admin Profiles. It works fine, but I did do a WinMerge comparison of the files. I just checked my install and, for example, my copy of admin/includes/boxes/catalog.dhtml is essentially the same as the one in the Admin Profiles mod except for an extra line near the end which reads " $za_dir->close();" which came from v1.38a (it was a change from v1.37). This appears in most of the box files. I have zipped up all of my updated box files if you want to use them. They are all patched for 1.38a so you could just copy these files over your existing ones.

Hope this helps
