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

I just attempted to install this mod, and it's not working, as far as I can tell. I would see a difference in tools/admin settings if it had been successful, correct? I cannot figure out what I did wrong, I dropped the admin files in, and installed the sql patch. Any ideas?

so you dont see a round yellow icon with a Capital P in it?
and your admin ID is 1?

Exactly. My id is 1, and I can't see that image.

Nevermind, I had help figuring it out, and it's fixed now!

I just installed this mod and it seems to be working well, except for one thing. The TOOLS menu shows up for all users. I checked to be sure I used the included file and the proper records are in the database tables added, so i'm a little stumped on this. Anyone seen this before? Suggestions on what to check?

The user cannot actually access the functions in the sub-menus unless authorized, but they are still showing up.

Thanks,

Bah.... Never mind. Tripped up in my own shorts and lost the tools_dhtml file. Duh.

Hey Guys.

I'm having a major issue with Admin Profiles right now.

No matter what I do, a 3rd party mod (easy populate) shows up in the tools menu on all profiles. I have no idea why it's happening!!!!

Can anyone help, I'm desperate!

Thanks,
Tom

Yessum, I have.

Here is the original code for EasyPop:

  $za_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_TOOLS_EASYPOPULATE, 'link' => zen_href_link(FILENAME_EASYPOPULATE, '', 'NONSSL'));

and what I've amended it to:

if (!defined('IS_ADMIN_FLAG')) {
  die('Illegal Access');
}

$options = array(  
                    array('text' => BOX_CATALOG_EASYPOPULATE, 'link' => zen_href_link(FILENAME_EASYPOPULATE, '', 'NONSSL'))
					
				);

foreach ($options as $key => $value)
	if (page_allowed($value['page'])=='true') $za_contents[] = array('text' => $value['box'], 'link' => zen_href_link($value['page'], '', 'NONSSL'));

Have I done this correctly?

It's been blind panic trying to get this sorted, so I probably haven't :wacko:

Thankyou sir, you are an utter saint :)

Thanks for the module too, along with Easy Pop, Admin Profiles is the most essential addon released for Zen Cart. Gotta keep those pesky customers from destroying their store!

Hello,

I created a new admin and gave him access to the customer orders.
Is it possible to restrict the access so that he can see only the orders with a specific status? For instance, only delivered orders.

Thank you,
Jessica

Thank you Kuroi for your very quick answer!
Do you know if there is any other add-on that can restrict the admin user access to some specific orders?

I thought I had done everything correctly according to the install readme; however when I attempt to access the cart's admin panel now, I get the following error:

1146 Table 'villacol_zen2db.admin_visible_headers' doesn't exist
in:
[select admin_id from admin_visible_headers where header_id = '1']
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 searched the forums for this error, but it returned a ton of unrelated threads and posts. I googled it as well and found:

http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Contribution:Admin_Profiles

specifically: "This usually indicates that your user ID is something other than 1. Admin Profiles installs a full set of accesses for one user only and by default that user has ID 1. You have two options: either use phpMyAdmin to change your user ID to 1 and then close down all browser windows to end your session and remove all traces of you having been something else, or run the following script using a utility such as phpMyAdmin"

Now, I used my very limited SQL experience, I opened up the DB and checked the tables. As best as I can tell, my admin ID is a value of 1. I do not know if that is the same thing as "user ID" referenced in the above quote; however, I couldn't find a table with an entry for just "user ID".

I am totally lost. Fortunately, this is a secondary cart with nothing outside of the stock install so far, so if I have to reinstall, that is an option; but I'd really like to figure out what I did wrong now, as I was planning on using this mod on my live and populated cart.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance :)

1146 Table 'villacol_zen2db.admin_visible_headers' doesn't exist
in:
[select admin_id from admin_visible_headers where header_id = '1']Strange that your google search didn't direct you to this entry on the same wiki page that you reference above> When I logged in, I got this message - 1146 Table 'MY_DB.admin_menu_headers' doesn't exist - and no headers, so I couldn't go to Tools

This indicates that the tables used by Admin Profiles don't exist in your database. Most likely you have not run (successfully) the Admin Profiles installtion[sic] SQL.Although that's not widely helpful, this is because the wiki can't know how you attempted to install the SQL patch. If you could provide some more details, maybe we ca work out why it didn't work for you.

Actually, I went to admin>tools and chose the sql patch update, then pasted the text from install_admin_profiles.sql, specifically

seeing how I can no longer get to admin>tools, I am not sure how I can fix this now.

Do you need any other information? I'm not that familiar with either sql or zen cart addons, in fact this is the first one I have tried to do anything with (probably a good thing :blink:)

Thanks for the quick response!

and you are correct, there is no admin_visable_headers table in the DB, I just checked :no:

Do you have an "admin" table? If not, do you have a table with a similar name such as "zen_admin"?

In your admin/includes/configure.php file what are the defined values of these two fields?

define('DB_PREFIX', ??????);
...
define('DB_DATABASE', ??????);
Do not post any other information from this file!!

In Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patch did any error messages appear at the top of the page when you clicked on the "send" button?
