hide payment methods for certain discounts groups?

[Danielle]

I have the Invoice mod installed to display an invoice payment option to customers in the Invoice group. I would like to hide the Paypal and AIM payment options for the customers in that group. I tried adding the code from the invoice module to those other modules and changing it to hide them but I can't figure it out. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

LEt's say you want to disable PayPal express when the customer belongs to customer group 2 ...

Edit the file:
/includes/modules/payment/paypalwpp.php

And add the code in RED:

    $this->enabled = (MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_STATUS == 'True');
    
// bof: disable when when customer group is 2
      if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
        global $db;
        $group_query = $db->Execute("select customers_group_pricing from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "'");
        if ($group_query->fields['customers_group_pricing'] == 2) {
          $this->enable = false;
        }
      }
// eof: disable when when customer group is 2

Thank you for your reply, but that code did not work

What is the customer group id that you are trying to block from the payment modules?

Are you using PayPal Express?

Also, check that the customer you are testing with is in the customer group that you want blocked from PayPal Express ...

[Danielle]

The group ID is 1, so I used this code:

// bof: disable when when customer group is 1
if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
global $db;
$group_query = $db->Execute("select customers_group_pricing from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "'");
if ($group_query->fields['customers_group_pricing'] == 1) {
$this->enabled = false;
}
}
// eof: disable when when customer group is 1

I am using Paypal Express and Authorize.net AIM, I tried it in both files but it didn't hide either method.

The customer is definitely in group 1.

eeks typo!!

Change the:

          $this->enable = false;

to read:

          $this->enabled = false;

see if that works better ...

Perfect, thanks!!!

Thanks for the update that this is working for you now ... without that silly little typo ...

This is just what I need, but in reverse!

I want to show 2 payment options at checkout depending on their group. Either "press" for the "press group" or "team" for the "team group". The press & team payment options are renamed "cod & money order" payment options. Ideally (if wishes were raindrops) I'd like 2 new payment options "Press" & "Team" made available.

When either of the 2 groups login (100% disc) I want them to see the previously hidden options (as well as the paymate/paypal ones available).

Would it be possible to exclude a product from the discount group? Say, a donation item?
Team/Press come along, they login they add to the cart their review/staff items - but hey, they want to help with our charity of the month and add the "donation" item to the order. Is it possible to have that excluded from the group?

v1.5 (reward points; master password; paypal express; paymate; orders 2.0 - selling digital software only)

Many thanks in advance,

Karen
