Different product layout for registered retail and trade customers

[LHorton]

Business V11.0.3

Hi,

I am trying to create a blockif to change the product layout seen by different customer groups.

I have tried using DiscountCustomerGroupID but firstly, this variable doesn't seem to work in a Product Layout and secondly, I cant find the values to use for each customer group.

the two blockifs I want to create are:

block if DiscountCustomerGroupID == TRADE - use this code for trade customers
block if DiscountCustomerGroupID != TRADE - use this code for retail customers and Unregistered customers

like this...

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22DiscountCustomerGroupID%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%201" >
            TRADE layout here
</actinic:block>

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22DiscountCustomerGroupID%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%201" >
            RETAIL layout here
</actinic:block>

I would be very grateful if someone could help me with the variable I should be using to distinguish between customer groups.

Thanks,
Lee

Blockifs only work on the desktop for page creation, they do not work online. Check the KB out for better ideas.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Lee - I should have known really.

I've been trying to use the method in the KB but am struggling to get it working with the product layout code – it works fine with some simple test code. The problem is getting rid of all the double quotes in the product layout, price list layout,...

so far I have:

<Actinic:NOTINB2B>
Code for UNREGISTERED customers...
</Actinic:NOTINB2B>

<Actinic:SHOWFORPRICESCHEDULE Schedules="1" HTML="
Code for on-line RETAIL customers...
“/>
.
<Actinic:SHOWFORPRICESCHEDULE Schedules="2" HTML="
Code for on-line TRADE customers...
“/>

Hope I'm on the right lines now.

Thanks
Lee

Or try something like (untested - may not work):

<Actinic:NOTINB2B>
Code for UNREGISTERED customers...
</Actinic:NOTINB2B>

<style>
.sched1 {display:none}
.sched2 {display:none}
.sched3 {display:none}
</style>

<Actinic:SHOWFORPRICESCHEDULE Schedules="1" HTML="<style>.sched1 {display:block}</style>" />
<Actinic:SHOWFORPRICESCHEDULE Schedules="2" HTML="<style>.sched2 {display:block}</style>" />
<Actinic:SHOWFORPRICESCHEDULE Schedules="3" HTML="<style>.sched3 {display:block}</style>" />

<div class="sched1">
 Schedule 1 code
</div>

<div class="sched2">
 Schedule 2 code
</div>

<div class="sched3">
 Schedule 3 code
</div>

Be wary of FORM elements in your code as they will be repeated on the page.

Thanks Norman, works a treat!
