Hide client Area when customers signs up

[ruskyhost]

Is there a way to hide the client area until the cusomer has paid? On unpaid invoices they can go back and see client settings.

 

Thanks,

On unpaid invoices they can go back and see client settings.

- What's the reason behind stopping them from that? Why would it matter if they could see the order details?

 

If you hide the client area, the client will not be able to log in and pay the invoice...

 

There is no easy way to hide the client area, but it is possible to do.

I was thinking the same. I wouldn't think there would be any harm in showing them either.

 

It's their details, what do you have to hide?

You would want to play around with the {$invoice.status}

 

I am not sure what it says at the moment for overdue invoices, but you could do something like

{if $invoice.status == overdue} PAY NOW CODE {else}   This is your client area now that you have paid {/if}

 

That would be the logical way of going about it, but if they know the system, that bit of code won't work everywhere because it is not a usable variable in other places in the templates. You would have to query the database directly.
