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

alihozouri:

My zen cart is Version 1.3.0.1 I have an issue with my admin permission in the Tools/admin setting. I check them all, when I return it's not saved and it says
"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."
there are some add on s I installed like google analytics, email archiver,... and the box infront of them stays unchecked.

I also installed the security patch and rename my admin folder name. I 'm not sure if this name change has anything to do with it.
any Help would be great.

https://www.creativephotoexpress.comThis is to do with installing the security patch. There was a special release of Admin Profiles 1.0.7.1 to make it compatible with the security patch, but I wouldn't recommend installing that on a 1.3.0.1 Zen cart (or at all really, see my previous post).

1.3.0.1 is very old and installing the security patch and renaming the admin is probably going to achieve little more than a false sense of security. You really need to be planning and executing an upgrade to a more recent version.

I'm having problems changing the manufacturers URL in 1.3.9d. Try as I might URL's don't seem to be saved when I try from the manufacturers screen in admin.

I'm testing out the beta admin profiles.. was wondering if anyone else had this same effect. Trying to locate the cause of the problem.

This ended up being unrelated.

Been using admin profiles beta for about a month now.. I haven't had any problems at all and my other admins love it.

One thing that was confusing. When I initially went to set up my profile I went into the permissions page as super admin and started clicking check all for my account so I could give total access. Hit save.. then logged in as myself. I didn't see anything at all.

Turns out there are check boxes for each top level menu. Those are unaffected by the check all boxes. Had to go in and click all those then I got my menus.

Maybe a "Grant all Permission" button at the top that really does check everything?

It makes no attempt and offers no tools for getting involved with the contents of those pages.

I am using Zen Cart 1.3.9d, and I installed Admin Profiles 1.0.7.1 and I previously had installed the Moku Book Product Type v4.
Now, I don't have access to modify the Extras - Book Authors, etc. I get an error:
"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."
Maybe this issue is been posted before but this thread has 103 pages already. Please, help me. I need the Product Type Books more than the Admin Profile, but to use it is almost required. I have few people that will be entering data in the store and I don't want them to touch any other settings but the Catalog section. Any idea/help will be greatly appreciated. :(

Did you give yourself permission to access to the new pages via the admin > tools > admin settings page?

Thanks Kuroi.
The first time I set up the permissions, those sections were not listed on the Admin Settings section. But, after I read Kuroi's post I went back to check the Admin settings and I realized that the Books options were there now. After I enabled the new sections, I went to check the Extras Books options again and I realized again that I did not have access to some of them. I went back to Admin Settings and the sections that I did have access to were there now. Bottom line: Some sections or mods will not appear in the Admin Settings until you try to use them and get the permission error. So then they will appear in the Admin Settings. I am giving all the details so other zenners can try it too. Thanks. :clap:

I get this error when I try to log in to the admin panel.

1146 Table 'psimage_store.admin_menu_headers' doesn't exist

[select id from admin_menu_headers where header = 'Configuration']
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.

Provided the box files are amended to its structure, it can recognbise new pages, but has no way of knowing about subpages until somebody tries to access them. Then it can auto-insert them. But it's appropriate that it doesn't just allow access until that access is explicitly granted.

This means that you didn't follow the installation instructions.

Yes I missed one step. I forgot to install the install_admin_profiles.sql patch.

Zen Cart 1.3.8a
I have installed and went through the install steps (The best that I could understand) and just can't see the icon in my admin area. I edited the english.php file and ran the patches....

I have spent 2 hours going back through and double checking and just at a loss of what could be wrong....

I am supposed to have the "admin" folder in the root directory correct???

(Pulling hair out screaming for help....)

It sounds as though you didn't do the patches to admin.php.

I carefully installed the Admin Profiles mod. I've spent a couple of hours re-checking all the files and re-checking Patches 1-3.

When I click Admin/Tools/Admin Settings I get a white screen with this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '-', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/content/44/6378844/html/admin/admin.php on line 317

admin/admin.php line 317 just contains: <tr> it looks to me.

Next, I had the bright idea to remove all of the empty lines, thus altering the numbering to only lines of code. Frontpage has no tool for this. Very tedious, and when I got done there were only 298 lines total! So much for that!

If this was old fashioned html I'd have a shot. PHP is a different story. Can anybody give me a clue as to what I should be looking for? ...and where?

Thanks!

@abosch

Two issues. I haven't been near FrontPage for a many years time, so this may be unfair, but it used to be really bad even for html editing as it added stuff of its own to files that didn't more often than not got int he way. It was even worse for PHP editing as the stuff it added could break PHP. I'd hope all these years later it had gotten better, but maybe not.

Also, if you changed your lines, but the error is still reported on the same one, that suggests that your changes aren't actually getting to your web server.

I'd recommend starting again on the admin.php file, but using a good text or code editor (NotePad++ is free and very good).

I got my issue resolved. Found an extra character and missing } in admin.php.
I usually use Crimson Editor for working with the files. I just dusted off Front Page because I wanted to navigate the line numbers.

Thanks for your response.

I have went back through and uninstalled and configured and still cannot get the icons to show up in the admin settings area

@coolbreeze3

You haven't mentioned editing the admin.php file ...

Hi,

Is admin profiles compatible with ZC 1.3.9f?

If so, are there any code modifications needed for the version currently in the ZC download section?

Thanx.
