Prestashop 1.5.6.2. How to change default category and disable category tick box in the back office?

[owengna]

I am currently working on a project which is using multi seller module on Prestashop 1.5.6.2.

 

My client would like to change the default category to a specific category dedicated to other sellers so that products uploaded by other sellers will not be on the home feature products. Is there any way i can achieve that?

 

Also my client would like to limit sellers to certain categories. We planned to use CSS to disable the categories which sellers cannot put on like below:

 

ul#categories-treeview li#id {display:none;}

 

/**Admin access**/

body.admin ul#categories-treeview li#id {display:block;}

 

It does not work and all other sellers can see all the categories. If we modify to 

 

ul#categories-treeview li {display:none;}

 

then all the categories will be gone even for the Administrator.

 

Can anyone help me out?
