Seller store link in userindex.tpl

[jason1971 +]

Hi all,

Sorry yet another question !

In the userindex.tpl file I want to show the seller store mod. hover I only want to show it to business / trade customers.

I have changed the newsletter ($newsletter} checkbox, as a means for customers to click to confirm they are business customers, I was then going to do something like

{if $newsletter}
then put the info here i want to show up
{/if}

but it does not seem to work, I have done a debug and $newsletter isnt there. the only thing i can see is {$pmon}

any thoughts on helping with my dodgy attempt at coding (apart from me giving up )

Thanks in advance

How about publishing what you did as others may wish to do it.

NOT RESOLVED !!!

I thought i had cracked it because I moved
{if $newsletter}
then put the info here i want to show up
{/if}

To useraccountmodify.tpl instread of userindex.tpl

The idea is when businesses register if they tick the box to confirm they are a business user. The info I want to show. shows up in useraccountmodify.tpl (fantastic as I wanted) however the problem lies in, if they un-tick the box at any later stage or if i untick it from admin side the info STILL remains. Uuuurgggghhhh

anybody any thoughts

Another problem I have noticed is when I log into my account on the website >> go to My Account >> Click on Modify Your Account.

When there if I un-tick the newsletter checkbox, and save new changes. the un-ticked box remains ticked after being saved

Can't really say as you didn't actually provide the code you used to change the newsletter checkbox. However, as the newsletter is for that specific purpose, changing that field in just the template will surely cause errors since the field is connected to the database/module/xxx.php file(s).

My suggestion would be that you use one of the built in extra REGISTRATION fields to identify a business user.

the only way i have changed it was to go in to languages / english and change it there from newsletter to business... no other changes (i wouldnt know how )

Problem resolved, as pointed out using newsletter could cause complications, so I set up a new registration feild and did

{if}
{$entry3}
{/if}

i cant believe it, it worked !

It worked because you followed Mike's advice - LOL
