But you can unpublish a vendor. If you made a "mistake", you can change all information about a vendor : Rename it, change his owner, etc. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

I don't see why the unpublishing a vendor will affect another one. The id of the vendor is kept, we still got a trace of him but he is not accessible. So I don't understand the error you got.

Thx")* Hi, In the file "components/com_hikamarket/views/checkoutmarket/view.html.php" you can replace Code: $query = 'SELECT vendor_id, vendor_name, vendor_terms FROM '.hikamarket::table('vendor').' WHERE vendor_id IN ('.implode(',', $vendors).')'; By: Code: $query = 'SELECT vendor_id, vendor_name, vendor_terms FROM '.hikamarket::table('vendor').' WHERE vendor_published = 1 AND vendor_id IN ('.implode(',', $vendors).')'; It should solve the problem for the terms & conditions.

When you want to delete a vendor, what HikaShop should do for the vendor products ? For the vendor orders ? Does it means that you will lost the vendor information and you will have products with a "ghost" vendor, have sub orders with no real vendor attached ? The impact of deleting a vendor is really important ; that's why it is still not possible to delete a vendor in the backend or we have to create a complicated interface to be sure that you want to delete a vendor and it will break a part of your store.

If we will handle many vendors and some of them go away is to create a big mess. We are system administrators and we have to have possibility TOTAL CONTROL. It's not your problem what happens to the goods or orders. You have available to us FULL CONTROL. We pay and that we require. If you would give this software for free that you would be able to introduce complexities and their concepts. Now is your duty to fulfill our needs. WIDESERVICES, I wrote the above method is simple enough to permanently remove vendors. simply delete the records from the database PHP Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzIzLW1hcmtldC1ob3ctdG8vNzgxNjEtaG93LXRvLWRlbGV0ZS1hLXZlbmRvcj90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile")** - [![Jerome's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar80.png)](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/80-jerome) - HikaShop core developer Less More - Posts: 26394 - Thank you received: 4078 - - [](http://obsi.dev) - 12 years 3 months ago [\#164633](#164633) by [Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile") Replied by *[Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile")* on topic *[How to delete a vendor?](/forum/23-market-how-to/78161-how-to-delete-a-vendor#164633 "HikaShop 1.1 How can I delete a vendor?
