password protect a category

[perfectj]

i need to password protect a category - special prices for certain customer groups. i know there is a contrib for this "hide products from customer groups" but i need a simpler way of doing it, so i just want a login field for for the wholesale category.

 

any ideas?

You want one login for all whoesalers or they have different login.

i have it set up already so all customers have a different login and i have Seperate Pricing Per Customer set up so i can divide my customers into groups.

 

what i want is only the wholesale customer group to be able to see the wholesale category.

 

possible?

Yes it is possible.

 

in application_top.php place a code that chek if cpath == wholesale category id.

 

If so it cheks for customer group if wholesale it allows the code to move further else redirect to either Home page or forbidden page.

 

Similarly in html output apply logic so that wholesale category link is not placed in href when a non wholesale group customer logs in.
