Adding Catalog Option in Admin with Access control

[dwienhold]

Hopefully someone out there can help me with this. I have just installed the admin access contrib and everthing works great. However, prior to the install, I had EasyPopulate and related products installed. I wish that I would have thought of this beforehand, but now, obviously, they no longer appear in the categories box in the admin section. I know that the problem is in the admin>categories.php file, but just don't know how to go about fixing it. Heres what the code looks like now

//                                   '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CATEGORIES, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_CATEGORIES_PRODUCTS . '</a><br>' .
//                                   '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_CATEGORIES_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . '</a><br>' .
//                                   '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_MANUFACTURERS, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_MANUFACTURERS . '</a><br>' .
//                                   '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_REVIEWS, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_REVIEWS . '</a><br>' .
//                                   '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SPECIALS, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_SPECIALS . '</a><br>' .
//                                   '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_EXPECTED, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_PRODUCTS_EXPECTED . '</a>');
                                  tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_CATEGORIES, BOX_CATALOG_CATEGORIES_PRODUCTS) .
                                  tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES, BOX_CATALOG_CATEGORIES_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES) .
                                  tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_MANUFACTURERS, BOX_CATALOG_MANUFACTURERS) .
                                  tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_REVIEWS, BOX_CATALOG_REVIEWS) .
                                  tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_SPECIALS, BOX_CATALOG_SPECIALS) .
                                  tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_EXPECTED, BOX_CATALOG_PRODUCTS_EXPECTED));

 

I tried adding the original easypopuate code

'<a href="' . tep_href_link('easypopulate.php', '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">Easy Populate</a><br>'.

with a tep_admin_files_boxes line, but all that did was remove everything below configuration in the left column box in admin, so clearly my code for that line needs help. If anyone can help me sort this out, I would be very grateful.

Never mind...the answer's always simpler than you make it out to be. Admin Access provides an integrated tool to add things like easypopulate. I guess it would help if I worked my way through my installations before I started to panic. Let's just say I'm a little embarrased. Great contrib though, for those of us who need a layered access control panel.

 

Thanks everyone.
