Restrict Access to a Product Page in Miva Merchant
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
I have received numerous requests for some code I wrote to password protect a product page in Miva Merchant 5 (or 5.5), so I thought I'd share it here. This code was originally written for a site that wanted to implement custom product pricing using the Emporium Plus External Product Purchase module, but wanted to ensure that only staff members could access the page.
Note: This code requires the Tool Kit from Emporium Plus. If you have a Miva Merchant 5 (or 5.5) store, the Tool Kit is an immensely valuable module that allows developers and store owners enormous flexibility in customizing their stores. It is beyond worth the money (and no, I don't get anything for saying so except the satisfaction of spreading the word about an extremely useful tool).
To use the code below:
- Set up an availability group, and assign authorized customers to this group.
- Substitute your desired product code where indicated by the text YOUR_PRODUCT_CODE_HERE (2 places).
- Substitute your availability group name (not code!) for the AVAILABILITY_GROUP_NAME in the code below.
This code is designed to work on the main screen of the regular PROD page. If you're using a template manager, you can remove the conditional that tests for the product code.
