Account Permissions!

[XTremo]

Hi guys....hope somebody can advise on this! I've done searches but I can't seem to find the answer.

 

Basically I want to restrict viewing and access of all areas other than the Pre-Sales contact form to existing accounts. I don't want a signup facility at all as I'm going to manually create the accounts myself then notify the clients of their login info.

 

The only areas I'll actually be using are Client Area/Submit Ticket/Support Tickets.....which are already client only. No problem there.

Then the Pre-Sales which is for everybody....so that's fine as it is.

But the Order section is the problem one! Because I don't want outside access or new account creation there.....only existing users to login.

 

Any advice appreciated!

We have a similar situation, but it is a bit more complicated. We want to use WHMCS to manage premium content to clients via the knowledge base/articles section.

 

Ideally, we'd like to assign some time of permission level to clients that's based on the type of product packaged they purchased. So someone who purchased a Gold package would get full access to the forum, and premium articles in the knowledge and someone who bought an entry level package would not.

 

When testing creating an article, I can pick whether it's shown to logged in only users, but that's it. It looks like some of what we want is in the sub-account tool planed for the next version, but we don't really need sub accounts. we just need very basic permission levels for our clients. Is there a module somewhere or a place in the admin I'm missing where you can do that? Being able to easily pick and choose what I client sees is pretty much standard in every web app we use. It's hard to imagine that something as robust as WHMCS doesn't have the built in.

Displaying Text to Logged In Users Only

 

To display something on the page only if a user is logged in, use the following syntax:

 

{if $loggedin}

User is logged in so display client only information

{else}

User is not logged in so display this

{/if}

Is there a way to hide the topics as well if you are not logged in?

You can add it to any template file.
