Prevent redirect to log in page

[zc1000]

I have a store which required users to register before they can view the products. So my settings under configuration -> customer details --> Customers must be approved to shop, it is set to 1= Must login to browse.

With this setting every page redirects to the log in page which is how I want the store to function. Except it prevents a file in my route folder from being accessed which needs to be accessed.

I need to the file /shipstation_zc.php not redirected to the log in page. Is there a way to disable the site wide redirect just for this one page? It needs to be accessed to export my orders.

The shipstation support was unable to help as the issue is contained within zen cart. I hope someone familiar with this zen cart feature can assist.

Not familiar with Ship Station but just downloaded the add-on from the plugins and went through the code.
There is really nothing in that file that would test for a redirection. IMHO that file serves only for administrative purposes and initiates the export of orders - am I right??
Do you manually call that file (as in calling http://yourdomain.com/shipstation_zc.php) or is it called via cron?

What version of Zen Cart is installed?

If 1.5.x and shipstation_zc.php loads application_top.php... You may need to modify init_customer_auth.php to exclude shipstation_zc.php from being blocked by the setting "customer must be logged in".

Following on from ihungil's post, try this in /includes/init_includes/init_customer_auth.php

Change (around line 70)

switch (true) {
 /**  
   * bypass redirects for these scripts, to processing regardless of store mode or cust auth mode 
 */  
case (preg_match('/ipn_main_handler\.php$/', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])):  
case (preg_match('/ajax\.php$/', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])):
break; 

to this

switch (true) {
 /**
   * bypass redirects for these scripts, to processing regardless of store mode or cust auth mode  
   */
  case (preg_match('/ipn_main_handler\.php$/', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])):
  case (preg_match('/ajax\.php$/', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])):
  case (preg_match('/shipstation_zc\.php$/', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])):
  break; 

Backup first!

Yes basically the shipstation file is used to export the orders to the shipstation web application. If you do call http://yourdomain.com/shipstation_zc.php it normally would prompt you to enter admin login details.

My init_customer_auth.php looks different around line 70. It is like in the following file http://www.zen-cart.com/docs/phpdoc-..._auth.php.html

I did try changing the code you suggested in the equivalent spot but it did not work

    // on special pages, allow customers to access regardless of store mode or cust auth mode
  case (preg_match('/ipn_main_handler\.php$/', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])):
  case (preg_match('/ajax\.php$/', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])):
  case (preg_match('/shipstation_zc\.php$/', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])):

  break;

I found a similar thread where the person was trying to stop the redirect for their homepage but I am not familiar with coding myself to adapt the changes to the shipstation_zc file

YES! that solved my problem

I made the two changes that page suggested with the code frank18 recommended and it worked.

Around line 55

switch (true) {

/**
  * bypass redirects for these scripts, to processing regardless of store mode or cust auth mode
  */
 case (preg_match('|_handler\.php$|', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])):
 case (preg_match('|ajax\.php$|', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])):
 case (preg_match('/shipstation_zc\.php$/', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])):
 break;


  case ($down_for_maint_flag && DOWN_FOR_MAINTENANCE_TYPE == 'strict'): 

and around line 111

switch (true) {
/**
 * check store status before authorizations
 */
  case (STORE_STATUS != 0):
    break;

 /**
  * bypass redirects for these scripts, to processing regardless of store mode or cust auth mode
  */
case (preg_match('|_handler\.php$|', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])):
case (preg_match('|ajax\.php$|', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])):
case (preg_match('/shipstation_zc\.php$/', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])):
break;

  case (CUSTOMERS_APPROVAL_AUTHORIZATION == '1' and $_SESSION['customer_id'] == ''):
   */ 

Thank you everyone for you help.

Thank you everyone for you help.

Sounds like (if not already posted in the applicable support forum) that this issue be identified/addressed... Would be ideal if the installation instructions included the actions necessary for a store with this setup... Absolutely great that it got fixed though!
