Zencart gas support for Multiple manufacturers. One could sort products by "manufacturers", view the sales....etc. Great feature for supporting multiple vendors / manufacturers.

But.... if a manufacturer wants to view his own sales without any intervention of the site administrator ?

He can't !! He has to depend on the Site Administrator for all his reports.

It could be so simple, making life easy for everybody !

JUST ALLOW ONE MORE FIELD WHILE REGISTERING A MANUFACTURER IN THE ADMIN - ADD HIS "EMAIL" !!!

When we are allowing Manufacturer's name, Logo, Product details, we could also allow another field i.e. EMAIL !

With his email added in the Admin, the administrator could assign him a ROLE and the manufacturer can login with his email id and password, view his ORDERS independently !!! Even he can administrate his own customers !!!

I think adding an email field of the manufacturer to the database and filtering the orders based on his email should not be difficult.

I am new to Zencart. So I really don't want to fool around with my newly working site.

Can anybody help ?
