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

cindyjw:

Is there a way to choose which is the opening default page when they log in?Now there's an interesting idea. Not at the moment no, but I will certainly give that some thought for a future version.

kuroi:

This is sounding as though your admin.php file may have somehow been overwritten. However I have checked the two add-ons that you metioned earlier and would not expect either to do this.

Could you check whether or not the results of the first two code patches that you did during Admin Profiles installation are still intact. Here's a reminder of them ...

Yes, that was the case! I just uploaded admin.php again and it works now. Have no idea why this happend.

Thank You!

Because I'm not very familiar with PHP I have to following question:

I think I have the override system of ZC figured out and have made all modifications to my site in my own template-directories. Install-instructions included with the downloaded contrib state that all files should be placed in default (ZC-core) directories.

Is it possible (even recommended) to install all files in existing/new template-directories?
(Yes indeed, I trust myself to f*ck things up when upgrading to newer versions by copying new files over existing ones when I don't keep my modifications obviously seperated. ;-)

It's not clear whether your question is about over-rides generally or Admin POrofiles specifically. Either way it is good that you're paying careful attention to the over-ride system in Zen Cart.

Unfortunately however, the over-ride system doesn't currently extend to the Admin area. If it is Admin Profiles that you interesting in, then I have tried to avoid touching core code as much as possible, but it couldn't do its job without some interaction with the main system, so you will find yourself overwiting or editing a small number of core files. As long as you follow the installation instructions carefully, this will not be a problem.

Otherwise in general it is a good idea to use template, language and module over-rides whenever possible, as will as the various extra_ directories.

Sorry for not being clear but my question is indeed about Admin Profiles specifically.

I wasn't aware of the fact that the override system did not include the admin. Thanks for pointing that out to me. So far I haven't had the need to modify anything in the Admin but it would have had me confused if it came to that.

Sounds like I'll just have to follow the install instructions to the letter and make a note for myself to avoid instant panic when upgrading ;-)

If you feel panic setting in, just wander over here for a calming chat.

Dr., i checked, and you were correct... i overwrote the files and ta-da !

btw... do you ever sleep or NOT be on this site ?

Thanks again !
Kuroi has arranged for an intraveinous feed to keep me from going through withdrawal even while sleeping, on the rare occasion that I get to do so. Helps keep the shakes down, and keep the hands steady while coding...

Can't afford for you to have any downtime Doc. Me on ... the ... other ....... hand ....... :sleep1:

This mod is fabulous! Thank you so much. Is there a way to choose which is the opening default page when they log in?

Now there's an interesting idea. Not at the moment no, but I will certainly give that some thought for a future version.

Just had a thought about the default page, could a field be added to an admin's profile that you could enter in the path to the custom index page for that particular admin?

It would work along these lines yes. But there are a few wrinkles to deal with along the way.

I do plan another version of Admin Profiles, and this will most likely be included in it. No guarantees on date though.

Hi all,

Just wondering whether Admin Profiles is compatible with v1.3.5 ?

Many thanks.

from my understanding, yes it is.

you beauty!!!

Thanks Dr Byte.

Hi all,

Just wondering whether Admin Profiles is compatible with v1.3.5 ?

Many thanks.Pedant that I am, I would say that it's not incompatible.

However, there is an Admin Profiles v1.0.5 awaiting approval in the Zen Cart downloads section that makes it fully compatible with Zen Cart 1.3.5.

Simplified recommended upgrade procedure from Admin Profiles 1.0.3+ to 1.0.5 for Zen Cart 1.3.5 is1. After upgrading to Zen Cart 1.3.5, copy the Admin directory from the new v1.0.5 "extras - patched files for ZC1.3.5" folder into the root directory for your store.
2. There isn't a step 2. Step 1 was all it took.
Please note that there is no additional functionality in this release, though the installation instructions have been amended to reflect the user feedback from earlier in this thread.

Should I be getting this? I did a fresh install of 1.3.5, then ran the install_admin_profiles.sql by copying and pasting into the tools>admin>install SQL patches.

What might this mean?

Sorry, never mind...just missed the first line of the code...dang newbie!

Newbie here. Using Zen 1.3.5 and latest Admin version. Followed instructions, although not sure about the sql file so I imported it with phpMyAdmin. Now I go to the admin page and get this message:

1146 Table 'totaltra_zc1.zen_admin_menu_headers' doesn't exist
in:
[select id from zen_admin_menu_headers where header = 'Configuration']

And can't do much.

This looks to me as though you have used a prefix of zen_ at the beginning of your tables (Zen Cart offers this as part of the installation process), but have not edited the Admin Profiles installation SQL file to include zen_ at the beginning of the tables that it creates.

The easiest way to avoid this problem is to re-install the patch using the Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patch facility as it will automatically put the table prefix in for you.

hi
i installed fresh admin package on 1.3.5 zen cart.
does know somebody where i have to put user_tracking_tools_dhtml.php file, I add the patch to sql, and I putted this file in admin/includes/boxes/extraboxes, and I see it in admi/tools in the same writng, I think it should be defined in english.php too.
I did not do more until a expert give me the point. :schmoll:
2- what does it do actually?

reza:

does know somebody where i have to put user_tracking_tools_dhtml.php fileIt goes in your admin/includes/boxes/extra_boxes folder.
reza:

what does it do actually?It allows you to have the Admin Profiles add-on and the User Tracking add-on installed and working on the same system.
