have promo banner image hidden from wholesale members

keystone · #1 09-30-2016, 12:08 PM

x-cart version 4.4.6.

I am setting up a shipping promo. Flat $5.00 shipping on orders over $100. I am creating a banner image that will be displayed across the top of the pages. I want to set a conditional statement that will hid the banner when a wholesale member logs in.

I was trying something like this...

Code:

{if $login eq "" or $membershipid ne 2}
<div class="flat_shipping_promo">
<img src="images/flat-5-shipping.gif" />
</div>
{/if}

It isn't working so I'm not sure what I need to use instead. Is this possible to do?

Thanks.

You should only need the membershipid test, but try displaying it to see if it is present.

Hi Cherie,
How do I display it to check? I tried looking in webmaster mode (variables) and don't see a membershipid listed. Is there a different/better way to check?

membership is part of user account info. So there is no direct membershipid variable, it will be userinfo.membershipid or user_account.membershipid or similar. Also this will apply to logged in customers only. All non-logged in customers will still see the banner which means your wholesale customers will see it until logged in - doesn't make much sense

{$membershipid}

If membershpid is not in an existing array like $userinfo then you may have to go get it, like this: https://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?p=353774

Thanks Steve and Cherie,
I added

Code:

$smarty->assign("user_membershipid",$user_account['membershipid']);

to the bottom of include/check_useraccount.php

Then I tried using both

Code:

{if $userinfo.membershipid ne 2}
<div class="flat_shipping_promo">
<img src="images/flat-5-shipping.gif" />
</div>
{/if}

and

Code:

{if $user_account.membershipid ne 2}
<div class="flat_shipping_promo">
<img src="images/flat-5-shipping.gif" />
</div>
{/if}

logged in with my wholesale account and the banner still is showing up. Any idea what I am missing?

As far as the wholesale accounts seeing it before they log in, I'm not too worried about it. I do have the qualifier $5 shipping on "RETAIL" orders but I thought it would be nice to hide it once they log in so it isn't sticking out like a sore thumb as they are placing their orders.

You assigned to user_membershipid which should make the following work:

{$user_membershipid}

ah, and so it does. Thanks so much.
