Shop for registered users only

[stefan_p]

Is it possible to make oscommerce shop available for registered user only? I want to have login box only on index page. Users will get user names and passwords from me. Shop would be visible only for logged in users. Can someone give a tip how to do this?! Thanks

How about you add password protection on the whole catalog folder, as you would do for the admin pages|

 

create .htacess file? or use your hosting control panel to add that if possible?

 

ie. protect: home/sites/yourdomain/catalog

 

place the htaccess file in there?

 

and then possible create an index.html page with a link to that protected folder?

 

simple and quickest way, i think?

 

just an idea

I will consider that idea, thanks. But I would like my client to log in only ones! If I do it using htaccess, client will have to login twice: first to have access to the shop and second time to be able to by products.

yeah, i understand what your saying, erm, I have seen it done before, but not something I have done myself, so there is a way, looks like we gotta wait for the really clever people to get out of bed! lol

 

but can i just ask, why would you want to just single your shop to only pre-registered users? just out of interest really?

It will be a shop for a single company only. They are cooperating with me and I want them to send all orders through the shop. So my shop must be available for them only! There will be many users with different user names which I will provide.

if (!tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) {

$navigation->set_snapshot();

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));

}

paste this on all pages apart from login page and index.php page
