Require User email approval on Registration

[kaeo]

I installed prestashop and have it all running great... But!

Is there a way to restrict users from being able to register unless they are approved by me first?
Is there a way to restrict purchases only to registered users?

Thanks again!

You could create another customer group called "Approved", then use my code here to display a message on the cart summary that only approved customers can check out. You could prevent unapproved customers checking out by changing lines 86-87 of order.php (in PrestaShop v1.3.5) from:

/* 4 steps to the order */
switch (intval($step))

to:

if ($trade)
  $step = 0;

/* 4 steps to the order */
switch (intval($step))

This should redirect unapproved customers to the cart summary if they attempt to check out.

Hi rocky,

Can you please direct me to where I should make similar changes in Prestashop version 1.4.

I would like to approve the users before they can access to view prices.

So I have a wholesale site which I only wish to make accessible for prices & product viewing to approved users.

thanks

hi Angora,

Thanks for the reply and the helpful suggestions.

I will give that a try, however, I am still wondering if there is a way to have the site display in catalog mode(which doesnot show rices) and then when a user logs in they can view the prices based upon their group in this case while be wholesale.
