password protected page

[MTPockets]

I have version 1.5.4.1 and it is working fine but would like to know if it is possible to add a password

protected page to the site for wholesale customers. If so, how would I go about doing it?

 

Thanks

What page do you want to protect?

Who should be able to visit that page? Only registered customers? Only customers from a group?

It may be as simple as adding an .htpasswd to your root or overriding the controller responsible for that page.

I am planning on adding a page for wholesale only and do not want the general public access

to wholesale pricing so this would be a page that only those with the password would be able to access

the products and pricing.

You may need to override an existing controller / creating a new one with something like the following in it:

//semi-pseudo code

public function initContent() {
    parent::initContent();

    if ($this->context->cookie->canViewPasswordProtectedPage) {
        //get the stuff you need
        //...
        $this->setTemplate('template-to-show.tpl');
    }
    else {
        $this->setTemplate('template-of-login-form.tpl');
    }
}


public function postProcess() {
    parent::postProcess();

    if (Tools::isSubmit('checkPasswordProtectedPagePassword') && Tools::getValue('passwd') === YOUR_PASSWORD) {
        $this->context->cookie->canViewPasswordProtectedPage = true;
        $this->context->cookie->write();
    }
}

I didn't tested but it's just an hint.

This assumes you want to save the login in the cookie.

your wholesaler customers have own group? :-)

I'd like something similar like the topic starter, but my site run in catalog mode, so no registration at all.

(Pretty ridiculous, that a complex script, like Prestashop doesn't have this feature...)
