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

[abcoombe]

I just attempted to install this mod, and it's not working, as far as I can tell. I would see a difference in tools/admin settings if it had been successful, correct? I cannot figure out what I did wrong, I dropped the admin files in, and installed the sql patch. Any ideas?

so you dont see a round yellow icon with a Capital P in it?
and your admin ID is 1?

Exactly. My id is 1, and I can't see that image.

Nevermind, I had help figuring it out, and it's fixed now!

I just installed this mod and it seems to be working well, except for one thing. The TOOLS menu shows up for all users. I checked to be sure I used the included file and the proper records are in the database tables added, so i'm a little stumped on this. Anyone seen this before? Suggestions on what to check?

The user cannot actually access the functions in the sub-menus unless authorized, but they are still showing up.

Thanks,

Bah.... Never mind. Tripped up in my own shorts and lost the tools_dhtml file. Duh.

Hey Guys.

I'm having a major issue with Admin Profiles right now.

No matter what I do, a 3rd party mod (easy populate) shows up in the tools menu on all profiles. I have no idea why it's happening!!!!

Can anyone help, I'm desperate!

Thanks,
Tom

Have you followed the instructions about amending the 3rd party mod's box file so that Admin Profiles can recognize and exclude it?

Yessum, I have.

Here is the original code for EasyPop:

  $za_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_TOOLS_EASYPOPULATE, 'link' => zen_href_link(FILENAME_EASYPOPULATE, '', 'NONSSL')); 

and what I've amended it to:

if (!defined('IS_ADMIN_FLAG')) {
  die('Illegal Access');
}

$options = array(  
                    array('text' => BOX_CATALOG_EASYPOPULATE, 'link' => zen_href_link(FILENAME_EASYPOPULATE, '', 'NONSSL'))
                    
                );

foreach ($options as $key => $value)
    if (page_allowed($value['page'])=='true') $za_contents[] = array('text' => $value['box'], 'link' => zen_href_link($value['page'], '', 'NONSSL')); 

Have I done this correctly?

It's been blind panic trying to get this sorted, so I probably haven't

Sounds like a deep breath and a careful checking of your options array is needed. 'text' should be 'box' and 'link' should be 'page'.
