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

Hi All,
I have recently installed this mod without any issues. I have found that some of the mods like User tracking, sales report and some others wont let me access them. There seems to be no check box with their name next to in the admin settings > . . .

There are a few check boxes that have no name next to them and I'll put the check in the box and save changes only to find on reload that the check are no longer there.

I have talked this into letting me into sales report a few times (not sure how) but now I have no access to it again.

What is going on with this mod? Is there a way to exclude a user from having limitations? Basically if the user is #1 don't check to see what they do or don't have access to. Just allow it all for that user.

Thanks,
John

I've just started having a problem.

My cart is 1.3.8a
Admin Profiles v.1-0-7

When I go into the Admin settings, it won't let me 'Save' permissions. I check off all the permission boxes, click save and it kicks me out to the main Admin section and doesn't save the changes.

The only changes made to the cart recently was the recent Security patch and changing the admin name. It worked perfect before.

I discovered it when adding a new mod (cross-sell) which I now can't give anyone (including myself) permission to use. :(

I've used this mod in conjunction with Admin Profiles before without any issues, so I'm assuming it has to be something linked to the Patch or the admin name change.

Any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks!

Oooops! Nevermind. I just read back and realized the question had already been answered. Off to search for the patch. :)

Sounds great Kuroi, thank you for looking into this.
Hi Kuroi, I'm following up to see if you had a chance to look into why some of the M1 modules cannot be checked?

hello, I have problem after updating the last security patch of zencart 1.3.8 with this add-on Admin Profile. Problem is I can not allow anyone to use the last installed add-on multilanguage_ezpages_1.3.0.5v2.02 . I have checked it and Save but it keeps displaying this "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."

I want to use the add-on multilanguage_ezpages_1.3.0.5v2.02 because I have two languages in my shop and I want to have two Menu too. But it turned out that I even can not use this add-on thanks to the Admin Profile. I don't want to install the Admin Profile and still want to use the multilanguage_ezpages_1.3.0.5v2.02 .

Please help.
Thanks.

@andy_lau

there is a patch for admin_profiles that you need to apply after having applied the security patch.

Have you done this?

If not then search the thread and you will find the extra patch :smile:

I just installed admin_profiles_v1_0_8. I installed the SQI. Patch. Then used FTP to copy the admin\files. This was a new install of Zen Cart 1.3.8 and had no changes to core files nor added any add-ons. I then copied the files in the "extra - patched files for ZC1.3.8.

When I log into the Admin Home - select Catalog - Catagories/Products I get the following message.

1146 Table 'scrappi4_zcart.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.

PLEASE HELP!! How do i fix this?

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.

:dontgetit 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:

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 :smile:

I did manage to fix that by installing over with the june updated version but now when i get into my catagory's i get this message

Categories / Products - Top
Search:
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
if anyone has any ideas i would appreciate it alot
thanks :)

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'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.

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.

:oops:

I have installed Admin Profiles but when I add a new admin and give it some admin features it wont save
Any ideas please

I've heard some reports of this, but alas to date, never with enough information (in particular version numbers for Zen Cart and all mods involved) to be able to reproduce and thus investigate it. If you can provide me with some data, I'd rather like to get to the bottom of this.

Hi
I am running
Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Patch: 1::
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8
I dont know whats going on I installed it on another shop had no proberlm but for somereason it wont work again

Please contact your site administrator if you believe this to be incorrect.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Zen Cart:: the art of e-commerce

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

kuroi:

Uninstalling is little more than reversing the installation instructions - if anything it's easier.

Replace the box files with the equivalents from a fresh Zen Cart release pack. Reverse the patches listed on step 3. Delete the files listed in steps 2. Delete the admin_menu_headers, admin_visible_headers, admin_files and admin_allowed_pages tables from your database and you're done.

where is that located ? In my Sql database? or somewhere in my shop site? sorry if this is a dum question :blush:
