Category Specific Access Restriction (CSAR) - [Support Thread]

[frank18]

I have installed the latest version of this module in a 1.5.1 store. I merged all the changes, but am having the following issue:

1. If I restrict access to a category, when a customer attempts to go to that category, they are sent to the conditions page, whether they are logged in or not, and whether they have special privileges or not.

Using Developers Tool Kit do a search for

 zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS, '', 'SSL'));

Open the file(s) resulting from your search and change that part of the code to

 zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));

2. If no categories are restricted, the home page of the website is redirecting to the conditions page. As soon as I restrict a category, the home page works fine.

This is one issue with CSAR which I am in the process of resolving. As it stands, one category needs to be restricted for the mod to work as it should. If you don't want to restrict any categories then set this value to something stupid like 100000 - a category that does not exist.

The idea of this plugin is to give store owners the option to restrict one or more categories - whatever but at least one. If you don't want to restrict any categories then the mod is obsolete and should not be installed in the first place.

Hope this helps
