X-Cart forums

[razorblade]

In our version of X4 - we were able to customize user account levels so that our customers could manually be assigned as 'Professional" or 'Retail' or neither.
All levels of buyers and casual browsers could see all the items in our store - however, only Professional buyers were allowed to purchase items that were marked as 'Professional'
Retail buyers or buyers with nothing assigned to their account would get a pop-up saying something along the lines of "this item is for professionals only..." when they attempted to add that item to their cart.
The way it is now - marking items as 'professional' hides the item from the other levels of buyers.
How can we change that so that all buyers can see all of the items in the store but only professional buyers can purchase professional items?

Razor,
Your version is so incredibly old it is no wonder that the behavior is different!

What you want would have to be done as a customization, no settings exist for this that I know of.

I am in awe of both your join date, and the age of your store. I want to work for you.

It was a customization found on these forums then and I was hoping to find out how to do it now.

X5 - as far as I can tell, latest update as well.

I may be way off, as I have just looked for a few minutes here at the end of the day.

I think we may need to decorate: XLite\View\ItemsList\Product\Customer\ACustomer

I see the method getCacheParameters() has a reference to getMembership() method. I'm assuming that those cached parameters are used in building the list of items.At the moment, it is the only place that I see memebership mentioned in relation to a product list on the customer side. But I am tired and not able to dig deeper at the moment.

Hey Mike,
Were you able to poke around a bit more to see if this is doable?

Unfortunately, I have been slammed and unable to offer any free poking around. If you want to open a ticket on this with us I will prioritize it though!
