Requires login to view product page

[czetsuya]

Hi,

If I wanted to require login before you can view the product list what is the best way to implement that.

Thanks,

admin > config > customer details > Customer Shop Status - View Shop and Prices > set to probably #1

1= Must login to browse

NOTE: Spiders see nothing either when setup as Login to Browse ...

*I see but this one is only applicable with prices, what about if I want to show product categories but not the product list. Do I have to manually filter it in the code?

Hi,

According to zencart it has 4 possible values:
Customer must be approved to shop
0= Not required
1= Must login to browse
2= May browse but no prices unless logged in
3= Showroom Only

Unfortunately, there is no option for restricting the unlog user to browse the products. Do I need to change a code for manual restriction?

Thanks,

#1 Does exactly that "MUST login to browse"

Hi,

I agree that it requires the user to login to view the page. However, what I want is to allow the user to view the categories (without login) but will ask him to login when he view the products.

If he wants to view more information, then he will be required to login. Maybe the 3rd click.

Thanks,

I am looking for this too.

The option Must Login to Browse means the customer cannot access anything unless they create a login.

What I want is the ability to browse the categories and see the thumbnail images of the products with the products titles within the categories. When the customer clicks on one of the thumbnails within the category he is redirected to the Login / Create an account page.
