Re: Twitch Restrict Categories by Customer or Group
With careful file merging Encrypted Master Password v1.80 now works with Twitch Restrict Categories by Customer or Group 14b and all current Twitch Modules including Twitch Wholesale + Attributes.
Meaning you can now restrict customers by guest, retail, wholesale AND admin when you log in as one of the customer types with/from admin.
With a handful of custom filters you can customize what each login sees AND what the logged in admin will see on the live site relative to the customer you're logged in with.
You can now develop admin only add ons to the live site as order processing tools, restrictions or just for display.
One Simple Example: Customer logs in and the code sees who they are, displays their company logo on screen based on a restricted category - with their logo as the category image and - unique products in the left nav restricted to the customer or customer group they belong to.
Another Complex Example: Admin logs in to Customer on live site, sales/upsell/margin calculators display on screen during the order and checkout process. Important notes, conditions and disclaimers become available to the admin or 'salesperson'. Each customer type could have unique tools available when they log in.
This is the control you've always wanted.

Re: Twitch Restrict Categories by Customer or Group
Hi, I've been playing around with this module, it took me a while and some work to get it going,
But I really don't see the point of it, ok, it's hiding categories, but the items in the categories still show up in the new items, you're only hiding categories, not the items inside the categories, or am I missing something ?
Re: Twitch Restrict Categories by Customer or Group
When it's installed correctly it hides the categories and the products, there's a possibility that your site needs another filter applied to whatever page is showing the categories or products.
Can you post an example of where you're seeing the items that should be hidden?
Re: Twitch Restrict Categories by Customer or Group
I'm afraid I can't show as I'm working on a testsite, anyway, I've gone back to HideCategories,
Re: Twitch Restrict Categories by Customer or Group
This is a great Plugin! I needed a way to create a custom private catalog for restaurant chain customers, and it looks like this will work.
I'm trying to implement this into a live site. I got everything installed and working only to realize that my site is using the dropMenu contribution by DrByte instead of Category Tabs Menu. How would I go about implementing this with dropMenu? Live site is at www.febcorp.com
Thanks,

I don't have a test site running the drop menu, I'll need to see the code to test where to add the filters. Can you PM/Email your FTP?
Re: Twitch Restrict Categories by Customer or Group
I know you pointed me to this plugin. I have only just gotten around to it. The code looks great but I have a bit different need.
I have some hundreds of clients all of which are assigned a group pricing level.
Is it a fairly simple thing to modify this to key off group pricing v customers_cat_group? Because doing a redundant setup of customers_cat_group with basically a second identical setting to maintain sounds like a nightmare.
Otherwise the entire concept I obviously love. Have for ages glad someone has tackled it.
Re: Twitch Restrict Categories by Customer or Group
This should be used to restrict customer groups from seeing categories. You could restrict one customer per group or many customers per group. It's not related to product prices instead it filters the categories they can/can not see.
All categories start out as available to everyone.
If you could provide an example of the exact way you would like your cart to function again, I can clarify the necessities to do it :)
