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

[Danielle]

Well that's bizarre, because none of our mods have anything to do with the customer authorization status either. In any case, I did some custom coding and made a workaround that works for our store.

Thank you for all your help!

Just tried to replicate this on my CSAR demo site: I set cust auth to '2' then went to the store front, clicked on a restricted cat and was redirected to the login page. Logged in and I had immediate access - just the same as if cust auth was set to '0'. The status of cust auth should have no bearing on the behaviour of CSAR.

So.... that behaviour is still in contrast to what you are experiencing with your site. There still has to be a clash with one of the other installed mods. As a workaround you may want to set cust auth to '0' AND then enter every single master cat as price restricted (the top line in CSAR admin...). If that works then at least the store can be operational again. It is only a workaround - no permanent solution and tedious if there are lots of categories.....

No problem Danielle - could you please let me know how you implemented that workaround.

Thanks / Frank

Because we are using dual pricing, I just used an if statement to hide the add to cart box if users don't have wholesale status. This works for us because all of our customers are wholesale only. This allowed me to set the customer authorization requirements back to 0.

No problem Danielle - could you please let me know how you implemented that workaround.

I am using v1.151 with the free template Responsive Sheffield Blue. I loaded CSAR and everything seems to be working. However, the pricing and quantity does not display on the individual product listing. Everything is displaying correctly when view the all products list, but not on the individual product.

Any idea how I screwed this up.

...on the individual product listing......

Are you referring to the product info page?

Also, please post a link to your site and let me know which categories are currently restricted (price or access).

Thanks / Frank

It is the product info page.

I can't provide a link, because the site in not currently accessible from outside our system until we go live.

Pls post your includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php file and I have a look at that file. Possibly a merging error...
