[SOLVED]Show specific information to certain customer group

kiaraaliano wrote:Thanks Ernie, though I would prefer not to purchase an extension as after much searching online, i feel like it would only be a few lines of code required, i just am not 100% sure which lines.

I have so far tried adding the below to controller/account.php:

Code: Select all

$this->data['customer_group_id'] = $this->customer->getCustomerGroupId();

And then added this to account.tpl:

Code: Select all

<?php if($customer_group_id != 2) { ?>
<a href="ABC.html">PAGE ABC</a>
<?php } ?>

No luck so far but i think i could be close?

if ($this->customer->isLogged()) {
    $this->data['customer_group_id'] = $this->customer->getGroupId();
} elseif ($this->config->get('config_customer_group_id')) {
    $this->data['customer_group_id'] = $this->config->get('config_customer_group_id');
}

<?php if ((int)$customer_group_id == 2) { ?>
    <a href="ABC.html">PAGE ABC</a>
<?php } ?>

Based on the code you pasted, i got it to work!

For anyone else looking to solve this issue, look for this line in controller/account/account.php:

Code: Select all

		$this->load->language('account/account');

Paste this code below it:

Code: Select all

		  if ($this->customer->isLogged()) {
      $data['customer_group_id'] = $this->customer->getGroupId();
      } elseif ($this->config->get('config_customer_group_id')) {
      $data['customer_group_id'] = $this->config->get('config_customer_group_id');
      }

Then customise the below code as needed and add it to your account.tpl file:

Code: Select all

<?php if ((int)$customer_group_id == 1) { ?>
     <a href="URL HERE">PUBLIC</a><br>
   <?php } ?>
   <?php if ((int)$customer_group_id == 2) { ?>
     <a href="URL HERE">TRADE</a>
   <?php } ?>
   <?php if ((int)$customer_group_id == 3) { ?>
     <a href="URL HERE">STUDENT</a>
   <?php } ?>

   <?php } ?>

An aside note to indicate that ... I did posted this block of code in the first place.
