Product orders for clients only

[osckar]

Hi:

 

I was wondering if is possible to have products/services available only when clients are logged in.

 

Issue:

 

I created a Free product and ticked the hide from the order form. But the product is hidden even when client is logged on client area.

 

So, I would like this product to be for clients only. How can clients order this product from client area and remain hidden from the public order form? or any alternative?

 

Thanks!

you could edit the cart template to include a code like...

 

{php} if(!isset($_SESSION['username]){die('You must be logged in to view');}

}else{

//rest of page here

}

{/php}

 

That'd work, but nobody would be able to order without logging in first then.

Yes, in order to keep track of all orders, even if they are free or charge, but only for active clients:

 

case scenario:

client ask for a special work (free one) and I tell the client that he needs to fill a new order for that work, so the client order a "Free Special work" , and he writes on the text area the description of the special work (additional info).

 

So the new order arrives and I can keep track of that order.

 

An alternative option is to setup a Support Department named "Special Services", with ticked options:

 

-Only allow registered clients to open tickets in this department

-Require all tickets to be opened from the client area

 

and setup some custom fields like:

 

-Select service

--(option) Pay for special work/service

 

-Amount

-- (option1) 1 hr $35.00 etc

 

-Other amount

(description for empty field: If our accounting staff instructed you to enter any specific amount, please type it here)

 

-Select domain to apply special work:

 

And a text area for detailing the special work.

 

 

Not bad alternative, but still prefer to have ordering option for active clients only.
