ADMIN WITH LEVELS

Our client needs to be able to have multiple admins with multiple levels of control. For example on admin would be able to manage, orders, users, items, but another might only be able to manage items. I know OSC has a contribution or two for this...

 

COMMON REGISTRATION/LOGIN

This shopping cart will be integrated into a larger, info-intensive site. That part of the site will need registration/login features. Can this be shared with the shopping cart (i.e. log in to the main site, and that log in is recognized in cart...and vice versa) We could probably hack OSC to have this functionality , but that takes time, and time is money, and client wants to spend as less of it as possible.... Any mods?

 

CONDITIONAL ITEMS

The client also requests that some items not be available for purchase until other items are purchased. Contributions? Also there will be downloadable items...

 

EASY MAINTENANCE BY CLIENT

We will be setting up the shopping cart structure, but day-to-day maintenance shall be in the clients hands.

 

Thanks.

The simplest way to accomplish this is to rename to standard osCommerce index to something else, then to build a new index and additional files using eg. conditions.php as a basis - these must all be defined in filenames.php - use PHP and native osCommerce functions for building links and calling images - then you shouldn't have problems with clients dropping the session.

Not sure on this one - my Master Products contribution could be adapted to this quite easily.

osCommerce is quite simple to maintain - you could set admin levels if your client is click happy :P

Thanks for the info...but will this work if the existing site is outside of the catalog's directory structure. Basically the Main site and the store will have different (yet related) layouts and organization. Is it not enough to just have the same session_variable recognition routines on all pages?? Or am I missing something important?

Please advise.
