I installed this module on a test site finally today.

I can see the category based restrict field and also on the customer file. Setting those is simple.

Can you clarify the following

1) If I restrict a category it stops showing to those not with access in general and on menus
2) If I restrict category then those with access should see it (but dont) in their side category menu and in general
3) If I restrict everything the new and special etc products still show up like normal regardless of access level.

Am I missing something and being totally stupid?

Because... If I restrict everything I still see products in new etc...

If I restrict a category it is not shown in the menu even though client should be able to see it since they are a non-restricted code.

Very confused on why this is not working.

Also the instructions are very very difficult to understand.

I do not understand why sql patches are written in there v being provided as an sql file to install. And I do not understand why dozens of pages of code are in here (I assume to explain what is in your actual files) when they are likely handled by me and others using a winmerge.

And patch c is all written at end v in the files so not sure if that is already in this package or we have to manually do all the changes in area c of instructions.

Sorry concept great but I don't want to learn what you have accomplished here unless I test it and like it.
