Hi David,
Hope all is well.
I have a site with a large number of products and am looking at outsourcing some of the product mapping. Currently I have my password set to http://mysite.com/admin set in congfig.advanced.php and the menu in admin pointing to various links including your admin/productsmap.php and admin/finder.php mods.
I would prefer only to allow access to the above 2 files and block access to the main admin section, etc. for the person doing the product mapping.
All I can think of is to create another admin folder and admin menu only pointing to these files.
Do you know of any better way to do this, or should I go with the above ?
Many thanks
Adrian
Thanks David,
Will give that a try.
Cheers
Adrian
Hi Adrian,
It's almost as simple as you suggest.
1) Create a new folder /admin2/
2) Into that folder, copy the following files from /admin/
productsmap.php
finder.php
admin_footer.php
admin_header.php
3) Create a new /admin2/index.php file containing the following:
<?phprequire("../includes/common.php");
$admin_checkPassword = TRUE;
require("../includes/admin.php");
require("admin_header.php");
require("admin_menu.php");
require("admin_footer.php");
?>
4) Create a new /admin2/admin_menu.php containing the following:
<?phpprint "<div class='menu'>";
print "<p>";
print "<small>";
print "<a href='".$config_baseHREF."'>Site Home</a> ";
print "<a href='".$config_baseHREF."admin2/'>Admin Home</a> ";
print "| ";
print "<a href='productsmap.php'>Product Mapping</a> ";
print "<a href='finder.php'>Product Finder</a> ";
print "</small>";
print "</p>";
print "</div>";
?>
5) In config.advanced.php, add a new password for /admin2/
$config_admin2Password = "password";6) Edit includes/admin.php and look for the following code beginning at line 538:
if ($admin_checkPassword){
...and REPLACE that with:
if ($admin_checkPassword){
if (strpos($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"],"admin2"))
{
$config_adminPassword = $config_admin2Password;
}
That should get you pretty close to what you need!
Cheers,
David.
