Customers contacts list in frontend

Hello,

I'm a hikashop business user, and I would like to have a contact list of all my customers in a restricted area of the frontend to help the staff getting in touch with the customers.
Does any one know a way to do that?

Best regards

AFAIK it's not part of the standard package "out of the box", so it'll require writing it from scratch.

But as Business version user you are able to give users (in this case your staff) access to limited information in the backend, where the limitations are set via ACL and can be narrowed down quite a bit. Haven't tried this particular scenario myself, but think that this way you have it already, just need to enable it. Additional benefit: while you're at it, you can give staff also access to certain other information such as reports and order/invoice particulars, or let them even edit certain limited details, i.e. update customers contact details, etc. It's quite powerful thanks to ACL.

only, your staff would not access this information through the frontend, but the backend instead. No problem thanks to the strict limitations you can set per user group, though.

Give it a try?

thanks lousyfool,

I really liked the idea of having it in the frontend because it has to be used in conjunction with other pages that are already there and I don't want the users to access multiple interfaces.
I will think about that, but if no one have an idea I may consider developing it myself.
There is a component in joomla called "contacts" which allows this kind of lists, but it will not display hikashop adresses which I need for the phone number, so maybe using a trigger to copy it on user creation/modification could do the trick.

Hi,

It's indeed not possible in HikaShop by default. What can be done is create a module which will get all the addresses and display it on a specific frontend page with the desired access level.
