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

[pierrick]

Hi Kuroi,

I thought you might like some feedback, all positive, not asking for solution or anything...
I just installed the latest Admin Profiles (1.0.7) on a new shop for a client (ZC 1.3.8a) and it couldn't be smoother. Worked first go.
Thanks for a great mod.
I'll suggest to my clients (a charity themselves) to make a donation, if you accept that sort of thing.

Happy New Year and happy coding.

I own a digital scrap store and sell in several others. In a couple of these stores, one of the admins is going in and de-activating other designers products (the store owners have since installed the admin activity mod). My question is this: is there a way to restrict where admins can only modify only products they themselves have uploaded or am I asking for the impossible lol?

Thank you for your kind words. I don't accept donations for this work, but please feel free to encourage you client to support the Zen Cart project, to help it continue its evolution.

You're not asking for the impossible. You're asking for the extremely difficult. It can be done, but it involves so many changes across the Admin area to do it right, that's it's all but unmaintainable.

I've done it myself, once, but won't be doing it again. There's a mod that claims to do it, but sadly only closes the most obvious method, leaving plenty of other routes for an admin to interfer with any product they want. And there's a mod being sold, but I'm skeptical as to how effective that is and haven't had the opportunity to check it.

I'm very aware however, of the extent of the demand for this. I've had a number of requests and have a pretty clear idea of how it could be done in a robust and maintainable way, but this wouldn't be done for a version of Zen Cart earlier than the forthcoming 2.0.

You are using the prefix "zen_".

Ok, I did search through the forums for the Table 1146 - and I am also getting the

1146 Table 'not0902007413489.zen_admin_allowed_categories' doesn't exist
in:
[select admin_id from zen_admin_allowed_categories where categories_id = '0']
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.

I have re-installed the .sql patch through zen cart, I went through my sql tables to make sure they all had the zen_ prefix (note, none of the new ones had that at all even when installing through zen cart)

And looking through the tables there is not even a table called admin_allowed categories there.

Is there another place I should look?

Admin Profiles doesn't have an admin_allow_categories table. It sounds as though you might have a partial installation of the "Admin Users - Restrict Product Categories" mod, but I'm afraid that's not supported in this thread.

I am using Zen 1.3.8.a and Version 1.0.7 of af Admin Profiles. Thia is a great mod! I works perfect and was an easy install. I was wondering if there is any way to disallow restricted admins from seeing the "New Customers" and "New Orders" on the front admin page. Thank you for this excellent mod!

I am using the latest zen cart and the newest admin update. I get a

1146 Table 'ariaspa1_zc5.zen_admin_menu_headers' doesn't exist
in:
[select id from zen_admin_menu_headers where header = 'Configuration']
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.

I forgot to upload the sql patch. Where do i put it now since my admin screen won't let me in?
Yes my bad.
