Hi guys

I want to restrict visitor access to product prices, because it's a trade-only site. I don't mind everyone seeing the site, products etc., but I only want trade customers to see prices by logging in with a username and password which are unique to each trade customer.

I've looked everywhere but can't see where to implement this.

Help would be much appreciated...

Kind regards
Paul

The only way in the standard ccp setup to do this is to restrict all products you don't want any one to see to a certain user group other than the basic user account, since anyone hitting the site for the first time will be in the user group. This means that you would have to manually move any customer you wanted to see the product/pricing from the group user into the specific group allowed to do so.

Ok, so any visitor can create an account but it defaults to Basic. They can't see pricing until I move them to, say, the "Trade" group.
Simple.
Thanks, John!

P.S. Does that mean that if I set the products as viewable by only Trade users, they will not be visible by any casual visitor? Not quite what I want - I want anyone to see the whole site except prices. Only Trade users can see prices. Can that be done? I know there's a Wholesale Price field in the product record, but that doesn't allow volume pricing, which I do need.

If you want for everybody to see the items and you don't want to duplicate your products (one for basic users and another for trade), you would have to leave the items viewable by everybody and rap the price display call in the product detail and category views in an if statement like:

Code:

if ($this->globals('core_user.usergroup) == 'trade') {

         $this->include_file('ecom','pricedisp.php');

} // end

this would not show prices and options, or rap the segments of the product price display, with the same if statement, from sale to the bottom to exclude the pricing but wholesale as it will already only show for wholesale customer. This would not show the price but will not exclude any options pricing. You would also have to make sure that anything you exclude doesn't mess up the html validation or break the html.

Hi John
I sent you a PM, hope you don't mind

Paul,

If you want to do this in the product price display you just have to look for the else if statements like

Code:

 } elseif ($priceinfo['type'] == 'S') {

and change it to

Code:

 } elseif (($priceinfo['type'] == 'S') && ($this->globals('core_user.usergroup') == 'trade')) {

so there are four parts you need to change which are

Code:

     // +--
     // | Display sale prices.
     // +--

     } elseif ($priceinfo['type'] == 'S') {

     // +--
     // | Display regular prices.
     // +--

     } elseif ($priceinfo['type'] == 'R') {

     } elseif ($priceinfo['type'] == 'V') {

     // +--
     // | Display recurring prices.
     // +--

     if ($priceinfo['displayr']) {

by adding the requirement for the right user group like in the example above.

Hi John

A big thank you for that. I see how it works. I changed the code in those 4 places in the Product Price Display include (and in the Wholesale section of then same file), and created two accounts - one in the trade usergroup, and one in the basic usergroup. Unfortunately the prices were hidden from both accounts.

The modified code is as follows:

Code:

Code:
<?php 

$eol       = $this->globals('core.eol');
$priceinfo = $this->globals('ecom.prod_priceinfo');
$proddisp  = $this->globals('ecom.prod_proddisp');

// +--
// | Only display valid prices.
// +--

if (!(empty($priceinfo['type']))) {

     // +--
     // | Display wholesale prices.
     // +--

     if (($priceinfo['type'] == 'W') && ($this->globals('core_users.usergroup') == 'trade')) {

          print '<div class="pricediv"><p class="inline">Retail: </p>';
          print '<p class="pricex">' . $this->xhtml_encode($priceinfo['displaybx']);
          print '</p></div>' . $eol . $eol;

          print '<div class="pricediv"><p class="inline">Wholesale: </p>';
          print '<p class="price">' . $this->xhtml_encode($priceinfo['displayb']);
          print '</p></div>' . $eol . $eol;

     // +--
     // | Display sale prices.
     // +--

     } elseif (($priceinfo['type'] == 'S') && ($this->globals('core_users.usergroup') == 'trade')) {

          print '<div class="pricediv"><p class="inline">Regularly: </p>';
          print '<p class="pricex">' . $this->xhtml_encode($priceinfo['displaybx']);
          print '</p></div>' . $eol . $eol;

          print '<div class="pricediv"><p class="inline">On Sale: </p>';
          print '<p class="price">' . $this->xhtml_encode($priceinfo['displayb']);
          print '</p></div>' . $eol . $eol;

     // +--
     // | Display regular prices.
     // +--

     } elseif (($priceinfo['type'] == 'R') && ($this->globals('core_users.usergroup') == 'trade')) {

          print '<div class="pricediv"><p class="inline">Price: </p>';
          print '<p class="price">' . $this->xhtml_encode($priceinfo['displayb']);
          print '</p></div>' . $eol . $eol;

     } elseif (($priceinfo['type'] == 'V') && ($this->globals('core_users.usergroup') == 'trade')) {

          $priceinfo['displayb'] = preg_replace('/\$/','\$',$priceinfo['displayb']);

          print '<div class="pricediv">';
          print $priceinfo['displayb'];
          print '</div>' . $eol . $eol;

     } // End of if statement.

     // +--
     // | Display recurring prices.
     // +--

     if (($priceinfo['displayr']) && ($this->globals('core_users.usergroup') == 'trade')) {

          print '<div class="pricediv"><p class="inline">Recurring Charge: </p>';
          print '<p class="price">' . $this->xhtml_encode($priceinfo['displayr']);
          print '</p></div>' . $eol . $eol;

     } // End of if statement.

} // End of if statement.

// +--
// | Display out of stock message if this item is out of stock.
// +--

if (($proddisp['useinv']) && (!($proddisp['invlevel'] > 0))) {

     print '<div class="pricediv"><p class="outstock">This item is currently out of stock.</p>';
     print '</div>' . $eol . $eol;

} // End of if statement.

?>

What did I do wrong? :-)

Sorry I messed up on the code, it should be

Code:

if (($priceinfo['type'] == 'W') && ($this->globals('core_user.usergroup') == 'trade')) {

I placed an "s" in core_user.usergroup which is not what it should be, so remove the s and it will work.

John

NicheDev · 03-31-2010 16:37:26

No apology necessary, John, I'm grateful for your help.
Works a treat!

I guess I now do the same in the Shopping Cart and the Mini Cart...

Oh, and is there a switch somewhere to turn on a "You are / are not logged in" message on the site?

Regards
Paul

NicheDev · 03-31-2010 17:25:16

For the mini-cart, I wrapped the "skin widget mini shopping cart" display include, with:

Code:

if ($this->globals('core_user.usergroup') == 'trade'){

}

Seems to work...mini-cart appears on screen only for trade logins.

Did the same for the shopping cart include, seems to work ok.

I assume I won't have broken anything, since these are only display includes?
