Elazar Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Hi, Could someone help please? I want to make dealers only store. It should function like that: 1. Only registered users will be able to get access to our store: in the index page there will be log in box (for registered users) and "request for becoming a dealer". "request for becoming a dealer" will direct them to "Dealer form" to fulfil their details. 2. We will be able to choose the "user name" and "password" for the new dealers only from the admin. panel also we could block, delete or change user names & passwords for existing dealers. Is there a contributions that could achieve this target ?? Please help, I am new to php, so every help would be very helpful for me. thank in advance ! Regards, Elazar :)
ComicWisdom Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 There is probably a better way, but I would front my store with html pages. A home page with a link to/or login script and a link to an html page with a signup request form. Just between us, remember there are only 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary and those who don't!! Remember, learning is a "do-it-yourself" experience; although, not necessarily a "do-it-BY-yourself" experience. The quickest way to learn is to forget to BACKUP!
ashlyn Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 You could try this contribution.. it gives you a tool to set members access only if you approve them first. http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri.../search,approve ------------------------------------------------------- I used to be insane, but now I'm just nuts ;)
ComicWisdom Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 The contribution "member approval" would do that too. But unless someone has found the cure, there is a little bug in it. When someone signs up, if they don't log off, that first time they can shop without being approved.

ComicWisdom Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 You can already block customers. Goto admin/customers/ select the customer /edit and put a character like an "x" in front of their email address effectively changing their user name.

Elazar Posted October 4, 2006 Author Posted October 4, 2006 Thank you so much for your reply pals !! The thing is that I want to choose the user names & passwords for the dealers from the admin. panel. This will let me follow their access to my store (for marketing purposes) also to delete, block & change user name & passwords... Any other solutions please...
ashlyn Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 I've used something on an OC site, but it's a long way around process. I made up a basic signup form, and replaced the create_account.php file with that (called it register.php instead), and kept create_account.php for the store owner to make the accounts. I asked them in the signup form, which username/password they wanted, and a whole bunch of other info. The store owner could then decide if she was happy with that, and add them as a customer as per the normal create_account option. It would send them a welcome email and all went along as normal. Not sure about changing their passwords (although you would have a record of it from when you created their account), but you can certainly change their info. ------------------------------------------------------- I used to be insane, but now I'm just nuts ;)
ComicWisdom Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 You didn't need to do all that work. The contribution member approval already does it. It provides a place in the admin area to go to click "approve" or "deny" the signup.

Could I be able also to change user names & passwords from the admin. panel ? or the "member approval" only let me "approve" or "deny" function ? What is the final "member approval" contribution that works fine, that you may know? Thanks again for your help.. :)
