Don't display category until people login

[sprokop]

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to prevent people to browse the categories until they are logged in? I know it sounds absurd, but I really need this.

 

Please let me know.

 

Thanks

In /catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php

 

near the bottom of the file.

 

change

 

  new infoBox($info_box_contents);

 

to

if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) {
 new infoBox($info_box_contents);
}
