Display Specific Categories for a logged in Customer Only

I have installed the Display Specific Categories for a logged in Customer Only add-on in order to allow a specific group of customers to be able to view certain categories that are hidden to others.

Can I only select 1 customer/company name per category? I cannot see how I can multi-select customers/company names in the drop down within the category.....

Re: Display Specific Categories for a logged in Customer Only

Anyone willing to update this to 1.5.x?

CSAR is just way to intrusive and I like this approach.

My tip jar is empty... let me know how soon you'd like this, I agree with you about 'this approach'.

Re: Display Specific Categories for a logged in Customer Only

linuxguy2, I have this working for v1.51.

swilliams88, I'm currently building in a filter for multiple customers/group pricing/wholesale pricing.

I'll release it as a complete package shortly...

Re: Display Specific Categories for a logged in Customer Only

Yes I'd very much like this if it works on zc 1.5.1

Also if you need some pre-release testing I'd be glad to help.

Please advise.

Re: Display Specific Categories for a logged in Customer Only

twitchtoo,

Don't see the updated version in PlugIns.
If you've got it working on ZC V 1.5.1 I'd like to give it a shot.
PM me if your want.

Thanks,

Re: Display Specific Categories for a logged in Customer Only

linuxguy2, I'm fixing the original authors mention of the search pulling up 'hidden' categories because it needs to be addressed properly.

Everything else is ready and the install instructions are being tested tomorrow night on a clean install, then I'll publish it.

Re: Display Specific Categories for a logged in Customer Only

Ok here's the scoop, there is no crossover between single select and multi-select customers per category. It wasn't written to do this originally.

There will be two separate modules moving forward.

I'm publishing the update to this module for anyone that needs it for v1.51. It now works with category tabs, category sidebox and search/advanced search.

Bug fixes include:

  • Delete category now properly deletes the category entry from the table categories_customers
  • Search/Advanced Search will now properly hide categories
  • SQL update to set all categories for 'Everyone' to save time.

The original module/update is:**
Display Specific Categories for a logged in Customer:**
(single customer per category restriction)
Located here: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1165

The new multi-select module will be called:
Twitch Restrict Categories by Customer or Group
(multiple customers by new group assignment per category)

While it waits approval you will find it here:

I'll be wanting to try the above module out as soon as it rolls off the press!

Meanwhile I'll be working with your copy of "Display Specific Categories for a logged in Customer Only"
Thanks!!!

Re: Display Specific Categories for a logged in Customer Only

I wouldn't overwrite the 1.50 files with 1.51. If you merge it properly to 1.50 I don't see why you would have any problems :) Make backups of the files you're changing if something goes wrong post to the forum, live chat if I'm available or shoot me a PM or email.
