Display message for just one customer group

[fgs]

We would like to inform just our 'trade' customer group of our Christmas opening hours. Is it possible to display a message just for this one customer group? Perhaps maybe within a product layout, or accross the entire site?

Thanks

Place something like this in your layout to display a message just for logged in customers (perhaps just above your INNERLAYOUT):

<Actinic:NOTINB2B><!--</Actinic:NOTINB2B>
Marketing Message for Logged In Users Only
<Actinic:NOTINB2B>--></Actinic:NOTINB2B>

Thanks for that, but unfortunately that's the opposite of what I need. That appears to only display a message to customers who aren't logged in. I need to display a message for those who have logged in.

Is this possible?

Thanks

[Duncan Rounding]

No that should do exactly that.

For customers that aren't logged in the message will be remm'd out for those that are in will show.

The converse is:
<Actinic:NOTINB2B>Marketing Message for Logged In Users Only</Actinic:NOTINB2B>

Ah I see. But for some reason <Actinic:NOTINB2B><!--</Actinic:NOTINB2B>
Marketing Message for Logged In Users Only
<Actinic:NOTINB2B>--></Actinic:NOTINB2B> won't display at all, even when logged in.

I've placed it just above the innerlayout. Am I doing something wrong here? The website is http://www.vendula.co.uk/

The code above is from the Advanced Guide (page 116 - "Hiding Elements from Retail Customers, but Showing Them to ALL Registered Customers").


It goes on to say:

Please note that in order for this to work, you need to ensure that 'Compact HTML/CGI' is de-selected in 'Design | Design Options'.

Aaaahh yes! Thanks so much for that. And thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Unchecking Compact HTML will make all you pages a lot bigger which isn't a good idea long term.

Another way to do this would be via:

<Actinic:NOTINB2B><script>document.write('<!' + '--');</script></Actinic:NOTINB2B> 
Marketing Message for Logged In Users Only
<Actinic:NOTINB2B><script>document.write('--' + '>');</script></Actinic:NOTINB2B>

Which should work with Compact HTML set (or unset).
