User Access / Display of control panel

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.5
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.6
-- PHP version -- : 5.3.10

Hi!

I have two groups of users, resellers and affiliates, each have their own Joomla group, my issue is that I don't want resellers to be able to "activate" the affiliate program, i.e I want to disable the "Affiliate Program" view in the User control panel for any user logged in as a "Reseller"

I have tried to disable access through HikaShop configuration -> Access Level. but this doesn't seem to do anything.

This is purely front-end where I don't want users/customers from the Reseller group to see the Affiliate Program

Hi,

You can potentially manage the Affiliate access on frontend by editing the settings of the plugin "HikaShop Affiliate".
Select a specific group.

But would that not affect the affiliate system regarding the customers buying with a affiliate cookie?

I have properly not explained myself well enough, what I mean is that we have 2 user groups (Affiliate and Reseller) and then we have the REGULAR (non-registered) customers, what we want is to disable the access to the affiliate program for the user group resellers and still allow normal function / use of the Affiliate program for our regular customers and the Affiliate group

Update:
Would it be possible to load user details into the cpanel view?

Hi,

Indeed changing the group in the plugin settings, is not a good solution.
The easiest way to restrict this feature will be to edit the view "affiliate / show" and add a PHP condition on the user group.

Something like:

$user = JFactory::getUser();
if(in_array('2',$user->groups)){ // replace '2' by the id of the reseller group.
	echo "Not allowed to reach this part </div>";
	return;
}

Hallo
I have a similar problem. I don´t want that a regular customer is able to see the affiliate button in the cpanel. I thought it would be done by activating "no selfafiliation" in the administration. But this does not work.
For this I have comment out the function "onUserAccountDisplay(&$buttons)" in the hikashopaffiliate.php.
But this is not the best way to do this.

Could you help me please.

Best regards Carlos

Thanks,

works perfect.
