Specials with ad to cart button in showroom mode !

[bobvandervalk]

Hello,

I have a zen cart site for B2B with the exodus template. Runs for 8 months without any hickups so far.
We switched off the prices so you can only see them after log-in, that works great.
Admin makes all the login codes and group discounts.

It works perfect except for specials !
I have a side box that shows some specials (with prices/discount after login, without prices before login) and the box-title links to:
mysite/index.php?main_page=specials

Here the problem.
If you are not logged in but you click on previous link to specials they show on the screen but...
if you hoover over an article, it shows an 'add to shopping cart' button !!!
Any visitor can order it and can look in his shopping basket to see my B2B prices... Not good

Does anyone have an explanation for that or better, a solution?

Many tanks.

Please provide us with the answers to the posting tips. Especially a link to your site. yoursiteDOTcom or something similar is fine for a link.

Sorry, I could not give a link because everybody could see my B2B prices :-)

I have found a solution for my problem.
I made the specials side box only visible after login by adding this code to specials.php in the includes/modules/sideboxes folder:

if (!$_SESSION['customer_id']) {
$show_specials= false;
} else {
$show_specials= true;
}

Now 'strangers' can't see the specials side box, click on the title and get the forbidden order buttons.

Hiding the sidebox for non-customers was a late night idea. I had no clue where this problem came from.

Here's the link. The site is in Polish:

On the left you don't see a specials side box now before login.
The template is Exodus, but an expert adapted it completely to the visual taste of the customer.
There is no support anymore on the original template.
