special login for reports

[knitgirl]

I'm looking for the following mod:

 

A special login for the manufacturer of my products which would allow them to view the reports in the admin area. I don't want them to be able to access customer information or be able to change the shopping cart. I just want them to see what products have sold, how many, what colors, etc.

 

Does such a mod already exist?

 

Thanks!

You could modify "Simple Admin Access Control" contribution slightly to do this.

Thank you, I didn't see this one before. So, if I were to install it as is, with no modifications, can I limit the sub-admin to only be able view the following:

 

Reports:

Products Viewed

Products Purchased

Customer Orders-Total

You'd have to make some very minor modifications. Look in the code in the contribution (only a few lines) and change the files listed there to match the ones you want.

 

Have a look at the contribution and see if it makes sense to you.

I think I got it, I don't really know php other than installing it. I'm guessing I change the invoice.php, packing_slip.php, etc to read the pages of the reports.

 

I will give it a try. Thanks.

JP - - that's exactly what you change.

 

You may be interested to know that there are many folks on these forums (tens of thousands, probably) that started to learn PHP by trying to customize bits of osCommerce just like you're doing now.

 

Welcome.
