    Allow Customers to only view certain products?

    I have downloaded the 30 day trial version of Actinic v7 Business package.

    It seems to do everything that we require except for two things.

    1. If say customer Mr Smith logs on can we make it so he can only see products A, B and C.... and then if Mr Jones logs on then he can only see prodcuts X, Y, and Z ??

    2. When Mr Smith logs on he see's a page theme with a particular theme colour and logo at the top, and Mr Jones see's a different colour theme and logo at the top.. (layout can be the same, its just colour and logo)



    (Mr Smith/Jones will of been set up as two different users and different passwords)

    many thanks for any advice.

    You need to create a number of 'Customer Groups' in 'View | Customer Groups' and then join your customer accounts to them. You can then go into the 'Prices' tab of a product and de-select 'Product Visible' for any product where you don't want to it to appear to certain customer groups.

    How are you with stylesheets?

    CHeck out this knowledge base article - http://knowledge.actinic.com/users/k...67.html#aKB655

    It tells you how to include content which is only shown to certain customer groups. You could use this tag to format the stylesheet reference in the <head> section of Act_Primary in order to show different stylesheets to different customers. I.e. instead of having

    <LINK REL=STYLESHEET HREF="actinic.css">

    have

    <Actinic:SHOWFORPRICESCHEDULE Schedules="1" HTML="<LINK REL=STYLESHEET HREF=actinic1.css>"/>

    <Actinic:SHOWFORPRICESCHEDULE Schedules="2" HTML="<LINK REL=STYLESHEET HREF=actinic2.css>"/>

    <Actinic:SHOWFORPRICESCHEDULE Schedules="3" HTML="<LINK REL=STYLESHEET HREF=actinic3.css>"/>

    You have to know a bit about stylesheets to make this work though.
