[vQmod] - Force Login/Register to see site (1.5.x/2.x)

UPDATED for 3.x!
Supports OpenCart 1.5x - 3.0
This simply forces logged out customers to the account login/register page.
Customers won't be able to visit any other pages until they login.
So I'm releasing this as a vQmod for free.
How to do it
1. Install vQmod from
http://vQmod.com if you haven't already
2. Upload the attached xml file to your vqmod/xml folder
3. In your store, Goto Admin->Setting->Design->Layouts
4. If you don't already have an "Account" layout, Create a new layout. Otherwise edit it:
Name: Account
Route: account/
5. Do not assign any modules to this layout.
That's it. Now people who aren't logged in will be redirected to the account/login page before they can access any other part of the site. There they can register, login, forgot password, etc. rendering my old customer login mod useless.

I tried it and it works perfect, however how can i make it that when someone registers i need to pre-approve the registration first in order to avoid anyone registering. Thank you

Multi-store Environment for 1.5.1.3 - force login/register
Is there a way to have the same functionality as the admin login screen, but for customers to get to the store frontend base on their email address that they have register with that store?
For example:
share login screen -> CustA (automatically redirect and log onto) -> StoreA (base on email address and register store)
share login screen -> CustB (automatically redirect and log onto) -> StoreB
Currently, Qphoria Customer Login screen kind of does this but it doesn't log into the store it just redirect the url to the store. Then you would have to log in one more time to get to the storefront.
Therefore, If anyone has a mod or could customize Qphoria Customer Login screen to do this I would pay for their service or show me how to do it. I would greatly appreciate the help!!!

i've added common and information to the skip array
Code: Select all
$skip = array(
'payment',
'feed',
'forgotten',
'login',
'register',
'common',
'information',
);
Which lets users view non shop pages. The problem is if I got the the root address
www.domain.com it redirects to
www.domain.com/index.php?route=account/login&SSL but when I click on home in the menu it goes to
www.domain.com/index.php?route=common/home and shows the homepage ok. Is there a way to make the root
www.domain.com address show the homepage and not redirect to the login?
Cheers, great script btw

As a silly guess.. try adding a blank in the array:
Code: Select all
$skip = array(
'payment',
'feed',
'forgotten',
'login',
'register',
'common',
'information',
''
);
I really don't expect it to work, but just curious if it would.

As a hack I supposed I could redirect the root to index.php?route=common/home

Hi, I tried this and it works great! Thanks!
Just one question. I wanted to change the "common/home" link in the XML file to link to a particular Information Page. What would I change it to in order to do so?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I tried it and it works like a charm.
But I have a question, I would be so appreciate if you answer.
Is there a way to show only a complete blank screen with login box instead of header and footer?
Thanks a lot by now
