ZC1.5.5 Admin Backward Compatibility

As with Zen Cart v1.5.4 (http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?215605-ZC1-5-4-backward-Compatibility-Plugins-with-admin-level-core-file-overwrites), Zen Cart v1.5.5 has introduced a couple of new functions that are used in various admin-level scripts. This plugin can be used by other plugin authors whose plugins modify admin-level core files, enabling the author to incorporate the Zen Cart v1.5.5 updates to those core files while allowing those changes to also be used on Zen Cart versions less than 1.5.5.

I'll be submitting the plugin to the Plugins area for review and will update this thread once I've got a download link.

Re: ZC1.5.5 Admin Backward Compatibility

Please note: There are a couple more functional additions made to the Zen Cart v1.5.5 code-base since I released the initial version of this compatibility script. Plugin authors, please hold off for a couple of days; I'll get this compatibility script updated so that your plugins don't require a re-release SIZE=1[/SIZE].

Re: ZC1.5.5 Admin Backward Compatibility

I've just submitted v1.0.1 to the plugins for review:

Updated to include additional, newly-added, functions for Zen Cart v1.5.5 as well as the ZC1.5.5 version of the admin-level objectInfo class.

Re: ZC1.5.5 Admin Backward Compatibility

I just came across another issue and have uploaded v1.0.2 to the Plugins for review.

If the pre-Zen Cart v1.5.5 store has been updated with the ZC1.5.5 version of /YOUR_ADMIN/includes/functions/general.php, there's a duplicate function error thrown when you start your admin since I misspelled the name of the set_unwritable function when checking for its presence.
