Hi,

For a client I need to do a modification. The client wants to use the catalog (main site) to show products to the clients in the shop, but would have directly a link to the admin panel. (so that the admin panel opens and the client can change directly the stock or something else). (mainly the stock, because they have also a normal shop, and he would update the stock).

Thanks

Wouter

Some extensions exist for such already.
Technically, it could be done, by adding an admin User Group, individually, by defining either GLOBAL
credentials, or then individual access data, allowing them, to use SELECTED Admin Sections, by setting
the RIGHTS for such in the Admin User Group Section.

For this, use this first Code below, unchanged, either as OcMod, or then as VqMod as I do, (VqMOD v.2.6.x!)
to add a nice Admin Link Button onto the product page, visible only for logged-in Admin Users, in the
product.tpl file.
Clicking it will lead the logged Admin User directly to the Admin Section, as linked by Code Default.
See the image below!

Just be aware, and make sure, that you only allow them, to see and 'handle', what they need to see !

PS. A similar routine, in/for the Default 1.5.6.4 Theme, exists in the free russian OC Shop CMS v.1.5.6.4.1
Just to mention this ! OC-2 Theme - v.1.5.6.5 Image just below:

I'm using the first of the extensions in your list. It worked fine but when I started to use SLL connection the link to the Product at admin will fail. The link will be instead of This result in a bad admin page with a look like a broken stylesheet. The SLL is not enabled for the whole shop, but just for checkout. Did you change anything to make it work with 2.2?

I could not help you, when it comes to ssl, I never played yet around with such.
I only see in the extension, that it should be able, to handle both ways.
But if you access the admin section in http:// mode, possibly, this routine likely could be changed
the Uncoder-short-cut way, from: to: in the Extension, to make it work, or then, in reverse, to have 'em both is SSL,
to: Or then, the controller-link needs to be adapted, by hardcode-linking the admin Site!
That's usually the way, how I find out on such, by simple trail and error !
Let me know!
Ernie

Thank's! I used this code to force it to not use SLL. It worked just fine. This is a great extension. Thank you!

Good for you, all the Best !
Ernie

A simple is good enough, no need to make a condition.

I figured, but, that's why I mentioned the Uncoder-short-cut way
and since I could not test it, I just wanted to make sure, it works !
Thanks!
Ernie

Sorry for my late reply, but this worked great! Thanks a lot!
