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

[kuroi]

The admin.php files from v1.3.7 and v1.3.8 look identical.

You're right they are. And since you tried patching and replacing, that's not the answer. But you problem is most likely that you're not getting to this file anyway. There was an outside chance that you were getting into to it and then being redirected away. This can be tested by inserting some debug statements into it.

But first, what is the URL that appears bottom left of your browser when you hover over the admin settings link in the admin menu?

Hi, the url is mywebsite.com/admin/admin.php

For your information, I did rename the admin folder to something else. Will this be a problem?

I am afraid I will have to uninstall this module as I still can't figure out what went wrong.

How do I uninstall? Is there an uninstall script or sql?

I have just recently found this thread/post, and I couldnt believe it when I started reading through and found "dserhal" posting a couple days ago. This is EXACTLY what I have wanted to achieve.

I originally wanted a site similar to etsy.com"]www.etsy.com or bigcartel.com
They allow a user to create an account and create their own SIMPLE store which they can add, modify, and link a paypal account to. After a lot of digging I realized this would require some expensive custom programming and decided to open a storefront with Zen cart.

With some other mods I have really made Zen Cart work for me and am happy with the direction. However. just like "dserhal" it would be great to now allow my "vendors" access to only their products and categories and allow them to edit and add at will. This way I wouldnt have to do all the modifications when they have a new product etc. Is there a way to do this with this mod...or any others out there that anyone knows of?

Thanks so much for the additions and help!

Uninstalling is little more than reversing the installation instructions - if anything it's easier.

Replace the box files with the equivalents from a fresh Zen Cart release pack. Reverse the patches listed on step 3. Delete the files listed in steps 2. Delete the admin_menu_headers, admin_visible_headers, admin_files and admin_allowed_pages tables from your database and you're done.

Thanks Kuroi. What a shame. We were so looking forward to making use of this module. Why didn't it work for us? Are we the only one?

The mod has been around for over three years and it's the first time I've heard of a problem like this and, from your description of the symptoms, I still not convinced that Admin Profiles was the culprit.

Hi Kuroi,

This is getting very strange. We uninstalled the module by deleting and restoring files as well as dropping those tables from the database but we still can't access Tools > Admin Settings. It keeps going to the catalog homepage. What is going on? We swear before installing this module, we could access it. Please help.

It would have been more strange if it had solved the problem. Admin Profiles isn't doing anything at the point at which you experience the issue, so although you see the problem as having arrived when you installed it, I can't see any way that AP could have caused it.

To track this down, I think you're going to need to insert some debug statements into your admin pages to trap the point at which the redirect occurs, and then track back to the cause.

Hi Kuroi

How do we insert some debug statements?
