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

[kuroi]

Well, here I am with some of the previous people who installed the recent security patch and when we went to add an admin permission, it was not saved.

So, I found this thread, and the first thing I saw was the admin_control.php download from the author for an instant patch. So I downloaded it.

But alas, that gives me an SQL error:
1146 Table 'zzzzzzz_sandbox.TABLE_ADMIN_ALLOWED' doesn't exist
in:
[select * from TABLE_ADMIN_ALLOWED where page_id = '1' and admin_id = '3']

The offer of ice cream always helps. Here's what I think has happened. I think that like kalin/signs in recent posts you don't have Admin Profiles installed, you actually have the Admin Restrict Product Categories. Unfortunately the author of that fork from Admin Profiles renamed one of the tables. I can see why, and understand, but it does make an installation of that mod incompatible with the main Admin Profiles stream.

If my hypothesis is correct, then the patch I did for AP won't work for you. However (and I haven't tested this) the single line change that I posted immediately prior to this post probably will.

I got the same error. Please help. Thanks.

My cart is 1.3.8a and for a couple of weeks ive been reading over posts, I have the same problem. i did install the Admin Restrict Product Categories before i came accross this one where i tried to over right it with Admin Profiles , i cant save any admin and when i go to catagory/products i get this error
1146 Table 'website_261449.admin_allowed_categories' doesn't exist
in:
[select admin_id from 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 also changed this
But here's what you might want to try in the admin/admin_control.php file of mod you're using ...

find the line
PHP Code:
<form id="profileBoxes" name="profileBoxes" action="admin_control.php?adminID=<?php echo $adminID; ?>&amp;action=save" method="post">
and replace it with
PHP Code:
<?php echo zen_draw_form('profileBoxes', FILENAME_ADMIN_CONTROL, 'adminID=' . $adminID . '&amp;action=save', 'post', 'id="profileBoxes"', 'true'); ?>

I still cant save or change products and im a little lost with it all atm, so if someone could point me in right direction it would be a life saver as i really need to update catagories and return permissions to me.
To everyone especially kuroi, id like to say how good it is to see such brainy work

Status - Disabled

Fatal error: Call to undefined function category_allowed() in /misc/19/180/507/995/7/user/web/website.com/myshop/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 220

It's not fixed. Only partially over-written. You're still running software from the categories mod that is trying to access a function that you have have removed with your over-writing.

I recommend cleaning the code from that mod out completely. It's unlikely to be exactly the same shape as Admin Profiles so just installing that on top won't clean the other out.

Hi, I am using zen 1.3.8a and have just downloaded Admin Profiles 1.0.7.1 by Kuroi.

Is this version conpatible with my version of zencart? Previously another version of admin profiles was installed and as a result my site was hacked, so it was removed and the security patch was installed as recommended if your site is hacked. If installed correctly, will this latest version of admin profiles now work properly?

I have seen your posts about the hack that you suffered. I'm familiar with that hack and it has nothing whatsoever to do with Admin Profiles. If you want support for this mod, then I suggest that you stop making unfounded and derogatory comments about it.

[Sushigal]

I apologise, but can assure you that I had no intention of making unfounded and derogatory comments about your mod! My knowledge of all this is fairly limited and seeing as the hack took place after the admin feature was installed, I just linked it to be the cause. So apologies for my ignorance if this isn't the case. You see, once it was installed, the admin seemed to be behaving a bit odd, i.e it would appear to be logged in but not, then id have to log out and in again to access the admin fully. Then I went away, came back and the site was hacked and someone messaged me to tell me the admin was not asking for a password so it was easy to access by anyone so what was I supposed to think? I just made the assumption that the mod caused this, or not neccessarily the mod itsself, perhaps because it was not installed correctly or not compatible with my version of zen.

Apologies again! I didn't mean to offend you.

Thanks Kuroi I went and deleted all the files from the other script and ftp a admin bk up i had and i can get into my catagories again and save my selections which is awesome so it did point me in right direction thank you :) I just have a little problem now where in a couple of my addons eg my file library addon i get the error Sorry, your security clearance does not allow you to access this resource.
Please contact your site administrator if you believe this to be incorrect.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Is there a easy way to get permisions back on those pages as everything else seems to be working again
