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

Hi Kuroi,

I am contemplating the installation of your AddOn and I read the install.txt that comes with it and this seems like a great and easy to install AddOn but I have one little problem understanding or anticipating the amount of work that needs to be done considering the fact that I have several AddOns installed already:

1. captcha_using_ttf__gd_v2-8_28-04-2007.zip
2. hidecategories_1-10.zip
3. sitemapxml__formerly_google_sitemap_2-1-0.zip
4. faq_page_v1-0.zip

In your install.txt you write that "A well constructed contribution will either add to or provide a box file".

My question is: How do I know which AddOn (that I installed) requires this very careful and tedious manual editing of its box file?

Thanks very much.

... there is no central registry of users and the only way that I know of to communicate with people with an interest in this mod is via this thread.

Yep, that is what I thought. It was just an administrative hope.

I just installed admin profiles on 3 of my websites (all zen 1.3.8a). It worked perfectly on two of them but on one site I am not able to add new admin profiles. Once I click "Insert", add details (admins name, email, password) then when I click on "Save" it takes me to the main admin page (admin/index.php) and the admin profile is not inserted. How do I recify this?

Also I noticed that though the orange "Permissions" button now appears at the side of my existing admin profile, the changes I make in the permissions are not saved.

Could anyone please help me out?

Thanks for your help.

Hi kuroi,

Thanks for your help. I already applied the patch (admin_control.php) but both problems persist.

Anything else I can do?

Anything else I can do?Let's go back to your admin.php file. How did you make the changes needed for installation there, by patching it manually, or using the pre-patched file available with in the release pack?

I used the pre-patched file available with the release pack.

I never changed that particular file since zen cart installation. I tried uploading the original zen cart admin.php file but still doesn't work.

If so, are you sure that it was applied correctly (i.e. all files in the right places)?

Since you're having a problem creating a new user, and that's not something that Admin Profiles is involved in, what other mods do you have installed?

Yes I have installed the zen cart security patch too. I will re-install it to make sure the files are in the right places.

I have several mods installed so it would be very difficult to pinpoint where the problem lies!

Everything for admin profiles was installed but when I go to Admin Setting and Click on Permissions and click select all for the 3rd party add-ons to be allowed and click save changes, nothing happens, it still gives me security clearance error, and I need to use my add-ons asap! Otherwise please help me with removing admin profiles. Thank you.

Hi,

Here's my problem. I am struggling to get easy populate to work. So, have installed and removed it completely a few times.

When I uninstall it the box in admin profiles 'edit permissions' is still there.

How do I get rid of this box? I just want to clear everything down to a blank state. I think that I know what I was doing wrong with EP so should be able to get it to play this time.

Thnx

For the record, we're having the same issue as starruby on 2 sites that we know of... no changes recorded in admin profiles and can't add new admin, and attempting either returns to the admin main page.

And one of the sites has just reported that they can't create a new category - this also loops back to admin home.

Uninstalling the Security patch cures all my reported problems.

Weird things going on with my Admin Profiles... Since the ZenCart security patch, and renaming my admin folder- this is the only mod that is acting up. Everything else seems to be working fine. Looking a little closer on this, but I do believe that there is a direct link somewhere that is where the problem is.

I'll post back if I find any conclusive evidence or a fix- whichever comes first.

I'm running 1.3.7 and applied the zencart security patch. Then I couldn't edit permissions.
Applied new admin_control file from patch here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=745038&postcount=751

Now all seems to working fine with the admin control mod

Thank you! Worked like a dream...

kuroi:

The recently-released Admin security patch adds a security token to most forms that update the database. More security is a good thing. However in this case the new security token prevents current versions of Admin Profiles from updating admin user profiles.

Attached is a patch that makes Admin Profiles files compatible with the Zen Cart patch. Simply replace your admin/admin_control.php file with the one in the zip archive below. The Admin Profiles patch will work whether or not you have the Zen Cart security patch installed, and so is recommended.

Attachment #5960

A full updated version of Admin Profiles will be submitted to the downloads area for approval within the next few minutes.

I'd like to report a bug with Admin Profiles.

I've installed the latest version for a client and some of the checkboxes cannot be saved as checked. There is something in common with each of the names of the checkboxes, they all have a "." in the name:

• m1 fua.admin
• m1 performance.admin
• m1 performance.admin

Other M1 modules work fine:

• m1 brokerbin

Any ideas?

numinix,

Change them to underscores

• m1 fua_admin
• m1 performance_admin
• m1 performance_admin

I just installed admin users restrict product categories. When I go to permissions, I see, categories at the bottom, but none of my two test categories are listed. How do I restrict by categories?

Thanks!
