Display Specific Categories for a logged in Customer Only

[whisperinghill]

Yes I came across the same problem, also was hoping that the devolper had also figured out to hide from search and all other menu structures.

If i come across and solutions I will ost here

Any new light on this matter?

I also tested the "Category Specific Restriction of Product Price Display" but it won't make this hiding a category for a specific customer and showing for others different categories.

Trying to change all the customer_id occurrences for entry_company and also changed the database table accordingly. But still didn't get it working.
Currently the module uses the customer_id, not the company name as reference, thus many accounts from the same company won't be accepted for it. If we would change it for the field "entry_company" it should work. Only that still the saving of the option seems not functioning really in my tests here.

Actually now was thinking that the way could be to use the Group pricing functionality of "grouping" for this:
- making groups and then selecting those for the categories as restriction

... so, going ahead, trying to check how to change it to use that group...

What is wrong with this "sentence"?

$sql = "select group_id, group_name from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS, . TABLE_GROUP_PRICING;

it is causing an error for my file for this project of changing this module...
I'm assuming that I need to choose the first field from the customers table and the second from the group pricing in order to get what we need.

Lines 702-708 in categories.php based on this module:

$type_cust_array[] = array('id' => '0', 'text' => 'Everyone');
$sql = "select customers_group_pricing, group_name from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS, . TABLE_GROUP_PRICING;
$customer_name = $db->Execute($sql);
while (!$customer_name->EOF) {
$type_cust_array[] = array('id' => $customer_name->fields['customers_group_pricing'], 'text' => $customer_name->fields['group_name']);
$customer_name->MoveNext();
}

Somebody handy may see what is the structural mistake in my code above...

Still puzzled with many things, above as well but can I do like this with the sessions to check the user:

if ($cust_var == $_SESSION['customers_group_pricing'])
line 47 from this module's tpl_categories.php as I have modified.
I would need to check the group pricing id, so not the customer id but now I need to know if I can make such "check", command at all. Is it correct language?

ok, got this part like this:

$chk_group = $db->Execute("select customers_group_pricing from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_id = '" . $_SESSION['customer_id'] . "'");
if ($cust_var == $chk_group->fields['customers_group_pricing'])
