COD only apply to certain user group

[yosemirza]

Need some help. I am wondering if COD payment can be applied only to certain user group. Thanks

You could customize the payment module and change the:
$this->enabled

to false when the customer is not in the right Group ...

Thanks Linda for quick reply.

Could you give some example code. I am not so sure how to do.

Here is the code I see on cod payment module.

        if ($check_flag == false) {
          $this->enabled = false;
        }
      }

// disable the module if the order only contains virtual products
      if ($this->enabled == true) {
        if ($order->content_type != 'physical') {
          $this->enabled = false;
        }
      }
    }

Thank you

You could customize the code in the COD Payment module for:
/includes/modules/payment/cod.php

by using:

      if ((int)MODULE_PAYMENT_COD_ORDER_STATUS_ID > 0) {
        $this->order_status = MODULE_PAYMENT_COD_ORDER_STATUS_ID;
      }

// bof: only show for group_id = 2
      global $db;
      $chk_group_query = $db->Execute("select customers_group_pricing from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "'");
      if ($chk_group_query->fields['customers_group_pricing'] != 2) {
        $this->enabled = false;
      }
// eof: only show for group_id = 2

      if (is_object($order)) $this->update_status();

Just check the group_id for what Group you want this to work for and set it where I have it set to 2 ...

You are most welcome ... thanks for the update that this customizaiton of the COD Payment module to only show for one Customer Group using the Group Pricing was able to work for you ...
