I just now installed the "Admin Level Mod" and no matter which administrator account I signed in on, there is no option to go into the Admin Options area. I was on my Forum Admin account and thought if I signed off and signed on again or used one of my other admin accounts I would have the Admin Options but that didn't work either.

I am using the 3.4.07 version and MySQL.

Any ideas on this anyone?

Choices:

See step 11 in the mod instructions. Change it back to the original value.

or

Edit Profile, set your A-Level to > 0.

======

Either way should fix it.

How do I edit my profile and set my A-Level to > 0, Carefree?

Here's something I missed when reading the instructions (right up at the top):

Alternatively, save this as "updateme.asp" and run it.


<!--#INCLUDE FILE="config.asp" -->
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_header.asp" -->
<%
strSql = "UPDATE "& strMemberTablePrefix &"MEMBERS SET M_ALEVEL=3 WHERE MEMBER_ID=" & intAdminMemberID
my_Conn.Execute(strSql)
WriteFooter
%>

I am saving this. I went ahead and did an avatar mod and I having problems so I'll need to get it corrected and then come back to this.

I don't know what I'd do without you guys!! Especially you, Carefree!! Thank you so much for your time! REALLY appreciate you!!

Carefree, I just finished this and thought I'd let you know it works! :)

Thank you once again for all of your help in coming to my rescue! You are such a treasure!!

I am, however, a bit confused as to how to set levels for each of my admins. If I set my admins as global admins, they have no access to the "Admin Options" and if I set them as anything else they have total access to the "Admin Options." How do I set the limits as to exactly what they have access to? If this was in the instructions, I missed seeing it.

You have to manually edit the file "inc_admin_limits.asp". Move the file names to whichever category you wish. I would prefer an super admin web-interface and database-driven access, myself. So I'll write that and add it to SnitzBitz. OK, that's done. On to the next project.

I am going to have to come back to this one. I'll let you know how it goes.

I thank you SO MUCH for your precious time spent with this, Carefree!!

You never cease to amaze me!! :)

God bless!

I am back to this and have manually edited the file "inc_admin_limits.asp" and moved the file names to suit my preference. However, it's not working. My adminitrator still has access to everything in the Admin Options. When she clicks on something she isn't supposed to have access to, she gets an error message stating something like "You are not authorized" but below the error message is everything she's not supposed to be authorized to view/edit.

Could this guy, below, who wrote a review on this mod have it figured out with the problem being as he stated in his review here?

Nice Mod.

The only thing is that you are missing Resoonse.end in the Function Admin_control in the file admin_level.asp.

Without that all admin levels can view and modify all admin home pages despite the warning message.
Thanks

I fixed that in the version I did, but I can fix it in the version you're using. Give me a few minutes.

In "inc_adminlevel.asp"


Look for the following line (appx: 86 and then at appx: 75):

					Call Admin_Control("You are not Authorized")

Below each, insert these:

					WriteFooter
					Response.End

The latest version of this mod is highly lacking, and will lock out and admin from admin pages, simply because many essential pages are left out of the admin_levels table. I feel the version should have not been released in such a lacking state. It's unthinkable to lock out admins from admin pages without a single warning!

Actually the problem is with the inc_adminlevel.asp file. There are a lot more issues, anyway. This should have been tested before ever being posted on Snitzbitz.

My advice to anyone who wants to use this is to not use version 2.0, at least until the bugs are fixed.

File is updated at SnitzBitz. Forum admin is excluded from lockout function and about 50 admin_*.asp pages have been included in the dbs file by default.
