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

Thanks for the mod.

I've installed other SQL patches where I simply copied and pasted the entire file contents into the Zen Admin tool. With this SQL file, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do that or where exactly in the file to start copying.

Also, I don't understand: "change the following line if the super user (person to have access to everything) has an admin ID other than 1SET @superuser = 1;" Let's say my admin username is "joeshmoe," where exactly do I put that?

Clarification on these two points would be appreciated.

You assign or should assign #1 to the person that has rights to all items. You can assign other numbers to other persons in your organization to have limited access like only allowed to process orders. Or say you have a developer you can assign a number to and give all rights or limited.

SQL is pasted as all sql files.

Just to add to this when you look at your list of users in "Admin Settings" you'll see the user id in the left column. Usually the first account set up is the store admin hence ID 1 having full rights.

Thanks, it installed perfectly!

I followed directions provided. I think it applied the patch - how can I verify if it did via phpMyAdmin? But now that I login, all the menus are gone, as well as what normally shows on the admin homepage, except for Admin Home | Online Catalog | Support Site | Version | Logoff

I just installed it and screwed my Admin all up. No all I am getting is a white page. I want to un-install but not sure which files you mean when it says this
"Our first objective is to replace the Zen Cart files that Admin Profiles changes

admin/admin.php
admin/alt_nav.php
admin/includes/header_navigation.php
admin/includes/languages/english.php
admin/includes/functions/general.php"

What do we replace these with? I am so upset because my admin is completely gone and at this point in time it looks like i may have to totally redo my site. If you could tell me which files i use to replace those i would appreciate it. Maybe it will help.

You replace them with files inside the folder "install".

I have worked on this for almost 24 hours. I am now getting this:
1146 Table 'scrapsnc_znc1.znc_admin_menu_headers' doesn't exist
in:
[SELECT id FROM znc_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.

Is there anyone to manually run this? I have no navigation header now and can't go to tools. Is the admin completely wasted or can it be fixed? Thanks for any help.

Me too, I also got a blank page, nothing comes out now.

I stuck at the readme.html:

Step 3

Patch Two

Also in admin/admin.php, replace the line that begins 'text' => '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ADMIN with ... (line 316 in Zen Cart 1.3.9h)
...

There is no such line at all in my admin.php

:frusty::frusty::no::no:

Is the author still around? I made some improvements, now the admin homepage shows statistics, customers and orders (like a normal admin homepage) BUT menus are still missing and when I click on, say, an order, I get 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 have logged in with my original admin credentials (the only one I have) which is a level 1 in the DB. I did follow the instructions exactly as they were - I think (and hope). What could be the problem?

Hi I'm having the same issue. I have compared the original altnav that came with my Zen Cart install, I've got 1.3.9h installed. I did the patch and followed all the directions, and I have installed AdminProfiles (which is flippin' awesome, btw!) on about 5 other sites, sooo I am not sure why my altnav has completely disappeared. Help :)

Hi - Are you positive about that? Did you search using your texteditor's search function and carefully compare? Because in every Zen site I have modified with this mod, that line is present. However, it may not be on line 316, that is just where it usually is. Look around your admin.php file some more and make certain it's not there. Good luck! :)

Hi there, I just figured out the issue I am having - do you have Apsona ShopAdmin installed as well as Admin Profiles? They do not play well together and no fix has been found yet, to my knowledge. Try uninstalling Apsona and see if that fixes your problem.

Here is a page that tells how to uninstall Apsona:

I am about to take these steps and will let you know how it works out.

Thanks! Good luck :)

Hi, I've just loaded admin_profiles_v1_1_1 to my development website (v1.3.9h) on a laptop running Apache, not before spending a few hours trying to debug a server 500 error.

The first bit of good news is the problem disappeared when I deleted the .ds_store files included in the download.

The second bit of good news is I think this is going to be one of the most useful modules ever.

Hope this helps, happy new year everyone.

PhilGlad you like it, but I wouldn't recommend this approach.

Admin Profiles functions was integrated into Zen Cart 1.5 and extended, which is why I stopped developing it as an independent module.

So my recommendation to you, and anybody else needing this functionality would be to upgrade to the latest version of Zen Cart (actually that's my recommendation even if you don't need this functionality :wink:).

After trying several times to get this to work (it used to work when I was using zen 1.3.5) and i could log in, view orders but couldn't view any of the orders cause "i wasn't privileged to view it", I followed directions to uninstall it. It got worse. now the whole admin is a white page. FML!

This is an awesome add-on, and the ZC 1.5 functionality is fantastic as well.

Has anyone had any luck modifying either this mod or ZC 1.5's functionality to restrict individual admin users to certain product categories?

I am using 1.3.9h and after I installed Admin Profiles I am able to see all the menus however when ever I select one I get this error:

Sorry, your security clearance does not allow you to access this resource....

There is only one admin (me) and the admin id = 1, admin_level=0

What could be the problem?

Hi ikernbecauseicare,

I seem to have the same problem as you encountered, and was wondering if you came up with a solution for this.

Would appreciate a response to this.

Thanks.

Hi....

Sorry I originally posted this question in the wrong place, I am re posting it here.

I just installed Apsona in my ZC 1.3.8 store.

The problem is, after I installed Apsona, and click on apsona under tools to start up, I am getting the below message:

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 have Admin Profiles, I believe the version I have is admin_profiles_1-0-7-1 but not positive on that.

So anyway I went into Admin Settings in admin, and the apsona permissions box is there, I check it to grant myself permission to get access to Apsona, and I still can't get in, still get the above message.

So I went into admin settings again, and even though I previously checked the permissions box for apsona and clicked on save changes, the box remained un checked. So apparently for some reason admin settings is not saving my permission changes for this new mod (I am assuming the above message was generated by admin settings mod).

The reason why I need admin profiles in this older store - I am setting up a new ZC store version 1.5 on different server, and I need to export some data with Apsona so I can upload to the new store - I realize that this functionality is built in to the new store but need to get some older data out of the old store.

Any idea what I can do to solve this?

Thanks.
