Uhm, it's an older version but was working with my antique zc 1.5.4 without error before the server move/update. We're still chasing a few other hiccups tossed into the fray by the server move/update.

Argggg. 2.0.0 ducks for cover

That makes sense (the DIR_FS_LOGS setting), since you'd indicated that PayPal logs were being created.

Try using those updated enable_error_logging.php files.

Copied the 156c error_logging files. Still no functionality. Same white page. Same error.

I'm assuming it is a checkbox in the new server settings (that might jump out at you as being obvious) since the only change made is moving to a CentOS 7 server from whatever CentOS server that was EOL.

@RixStix, the issue that you're experiencing was corrected in EMP 2.2.1 (released May 5, 2016).

don't forget all of these files are in YOUR_ADMIN.

Hello,

We have this installed on ZC 1.5.6c with EMP version2.4.2. Following the instructions, we have set the Admin profile in the config setting. We don't see a button for placing orders as indicated in the instructions. I am not able to login using a customer email address and my password. Do I need the Admin Login as customer plugin as well or is this one stand alone?

Thanks!

This plugin is stand-alone. Check to see that your admin's customers.php includes the NOTIFY_ADMIN_CUSTOMERS_MENU_BUTTONS notification (that's what EMP 'binds to' to add the Place Order button).

You can also go to the storefront login page, enter a customer's email address and your admin login password to place an order for the customer.

Thanks! I will check for the NOTIFY. I did try to use a customer's email address with my admin password and it did not work. I got the standard username/password error.

Can login as admin for this mode be restricted to a set of ip address only? So for example if trying to login using the master password from an IP address not listed in a setting config then it will simply not work?

With it's inclusion in the core, you have to dial down a little in the docs to find the page with the settings.

It's not an option from what I see but would be a nice feature. It would give an extra layer of security to restrict master password use to certain ips only. As it is now if someone were to find out an a master password they can login to any account from anywhere.

Your best bet is to activate two-factor authentication. Discussion and directions can be found starting on page 43 of the Implementation Guide found in the docs folder's PDF file.

Great security without the "what's my IP now" problem.

In my particular case we do not access user accounts or admin control panel outside a set of ips so the ip restriction would be great for us. I will look at the two-factor authentication however would that work for signing into a users account using the admin password, not sure it would. That seems to only block admin control panel access which we already do. I'm just trying to restrict access to someone that would have found out a admins passwords and uses it to gain access to all accounts. Like I said just a feature not everyone would use it but I would guess many would.

how do i turn off or stop it from dislaying ( Currently shopping for ) on every page i click it shows up?

That's a safety feature to remind you that you are technically logged in as a user.

If you are finished, log out and the notice will go away.

every page i go to it is there and i have to click it off on every page

I don't understand your statement; the message (unless modifications have been made) displays on the top of each page and there's nothing to click to "dismiss" the message.

there is a litte X to close it out

jimmie:

there are a couple of ways to handle it. conceivably you can add some javascript to automatically remove it out on pages that you do not want to see it.

there does not seem to be any notifiers in the message_stack class despite that class extending base.

barring that, you can change the following file:

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_message_stack_default.php

to something like:

<?php
    for ($i = 0, $n = sizeof($output); $i < $n; $i++) {
        if (!str_contains($output[$i]['text'], 'Currently shopping for')) {
            ?>
            <div <?= $output[$i]['params']; ?>><?= $output[$i]['text']; ?></div>
            <?php
        }
    }

hope that helps.

best.
