I recommend using the "search this thread" option towards the top of the page to search on "1146 Table".

Thanks kuroi,

OK I think I see what I did wrong, I was running the install_admin_profiles.sql script after not before I uploaded the Admin files to server. I just ran the script again and then uploaded the admin files after script and now no errors.

But now there is another problem - I'm not getting that error any more but when I click on Tools>Admin settings, the permissions icons are not showing up at all for any of the users. It's as if I never installed it.

Actually disregard that last question, I re uploaded admin and now it seems to be working great - some of the files prob. did not get transferred the first time.

As a suggestion to prevent confusion, in your install instructions it's a bit confusing, the way you have it written (at the least the way I am reading it – most regular zen cart users already know this), is to run the install_admin_profiles.sql script AFTER you upload the admin files, which caused my problem. You may want to re word the install instructions so that it reads – run the install_admin_profiles.sql script BEFORE you upload the admin files. It may help a few casual users like myself.

Great mod by the way thanks.

This is what the installation instructions for the current version say

Installation
============

Step 1:
-------

Run the install_admin_profiles.sql file using Zen Cart's Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patch facility


Step 2:
-------

Copy included files to appropriate places in admin. They already have the correct folder structure so a single drag and drag and drop of the "Admin" folder into the root directory for your store will put the files in the correct locations if you are using a good FTP client (e.g. FileZilla).

etc.

I'd welcome ideas as to how I can make the order in which things are to be done clearer!

If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

lol nvm it always happens as soon as I get so ticked to ask for help it straightens itself out, all I did was reinstall a few different files and now it is working....... ty tho loving the mod!!!

Actually, I dont think the instructions are bad at all, many people are used to uploading files and installing, I did myself the first time I installed it.
This is a wonderful mod and we should all buy kuroi a beer or two for his fine contribution

Hi Kuroi,

I am a new user. I just found Admin Profiles and was hoping to download it, but the link on the first page of this thread just redirects me to the homepage of your nice site. I enjoyed looking at it. Would you mind telling me how to download the Admin Profiles though?

Thanks Much!
