Just to keep you updated: I have submitted this plugin for inclusion to the downloads section a few days ago and I am awaiting approval by the moderators.

My question is in relation to Category Specific Restriction of Product Price Display V1. I did have this working about a month when testing the function. However, when i tried to apply the mod again it doesn't work. Do you have any ideas?
Any help would be very appreciated, I'm taring my hair out!!!

V1 had various issues. It is for that reason that I have released v2.0 (CSAR) for Zen Cart 1.5.x

V1, as it stands, is no longer supported.

If you are running Zen Cart 1.3.9h or lower, you will need to upgrade your installation to ZC 1.5.1 and install CSAR 2.0

Thanks Frank,

I have also tried using CSAR v2.0, but again the mod didn't work, all the files that i uploaded altered the look of the store but didn't actually do the required function. I have also tried these mods on other zencarts I have access to, but still no luck. Is it a possibility other files need to be edited in some way?

How can the original CSAR work a month ago but not now?

Kind regards
Simon

Simon,

Are you using ZC 1.3.9h or the latest 1.5.1?

CSAR was only released less than one month ago - so something does not stack up??

Sorry Frank I was using the Category Specific Restriction of Product Price Display (OLD v1 mod) about a month ago. It worked on that occasion but trying it again this week, it now doesn't which is bizarre. I then decided to use your new CSAR v2.0 this week, but can't get that to work either! I am just wondering if any other files need to be changed that aren't outlined in the mod?

If it has worked before then we can only assume that you have made other changes to your file system since then.

Without knowing your ZC version (1.5.1 ???? I hope) there is no way that I can be of further assistance. Also please post a link to your site and let us know which template you are using.

Hi Frank - we have a fairly new installation of ZC and are using CSAR as we have mostly restricted products but have some products available to the public. I have installed CSAR and merged it all manually. It seems to be working with the exception that I can (when testing) go to the product that is available to the public without logging in (this is the desired effect) and add it to the cart. When I go to checkout, it is still requiring me to log in before checking out. Also, when I go to Customers --> Customers, there is nothing showing "Privileges" on the main page nor when I go into the customer profile. I am sure it is just that I messed up somewhere and missed a file or something, but after carefully double checking that I moved all files to the correct places, I still don't find anything I missed.
I am using ZC 1.5.1 and CSAR v2
Any suggestions you can give would be great.
Thanks!

...When I go to checkout, it is still requiring me to log in before checking out.

This is standard ZC behaviour

Also, when I go to Customers --> Customers, there is nothing showing "Privileges" on the main page nor when I go into the customer profile.

Check again your_admin_name/includes/customers.php

There are numerous additions throughout this file.
