  • A new setting allows you to hide or show the create account button on the login page
  • Also hiding the create account button causes the create account page itself to redirect to the login page
  • In this mode the only way to create an account is via the admin
  • The setting can be set to normal operation so that customer can create accounts
• Approve Account option
  • If allowing customer account creation you can queue accounts for approval before their login will be allowed
  • There is a new section in the admin to view pending customer accounts.
  • You can set a pending account to approved, pending, or denied.
  • Setting to Approved send an email
  • The other two settings do not send an email to the customer.
  • When this feature is not engaged, all customers are active but with a pending status. That means that the login are not restricted but in the even you do engage this feature all customers would be restricted until approved.
• Group Access for Products and Categories
  • You can now set which categories and products are displayed.
  • The display can be controller for each customer group and also non logged in users
  • This means that a guest (non logged user) will see only categories and products you want them to see. Once they create account (that is approved, if required), they can see additional categories and products.
  • The same hold true for customer with new customer group status, each group can see a different set of content.
  • The admin for category and product creation and editing has been extended to show the group access for each customer group you create.
• New B2B compatible Templates
  • Due to the fact that Group Access for products and categories requires updates to the infoboxes and main page modules in the templates we have created B2B versions of the existing templates
  • We will release the template side of the code for free to encourage template makers to create B2B compatible templates
• Updates to Easy Populate
  • Easy populate has been modified to support QTY Price break, SPPC and Group Access
  • Qty Break prices appear as additional columns in the main file
  • SPPC are additional ROWS for each product with additional price data
  • There is a new column called customer_group that indicates the SPPC target
  • SPPC is handled like product duplication in more then one category
  • Group Access is controlled by a new column at the end of the file. G,0, is the default for allowing items to be seen by guest and retail customers.
    • G = guest
    • 0 = retail group
    • 1 = first customer group created
    • 2 = second group and so on
