vendor validation

Hi,

I have a problem with the vendor validation. Vendor automatic creation works OK, but I can`t understand how the manual and automatic validation works. After registration and login I always receive the message "Please login as vendor". I think it would be helpful if you provide more information in the documentation.

And another question: Is it possible to delete a vendor? I cannot find a way to do it.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot!

Hi Jerome,

Quick question on the topic 'deleting vendors':

i can see trouble potentially deriving from deleting a vendor who's been previously active, or still is. But what about vendors who have been completely inactive, meaning they had no orders, no sales, maybe not even products... let's say they just never used the function.

They could be safely deleted from (read: in) the database, no?

I guess I'm thinking of the situation where vendor registration is 'automatic', and one might end up quickly with a large number of vendors, the majority remaining inactive since day #1 and into the longest future. Some clean-up from time to time would be nice then, me thinks.

(Maybe that's the way to go with a future solution: give the admin/main vendor the option to delete 'inactive vendors'...)

On the other hand, and at the present state using manual deletion from the database, what if a user has been deleted but wants to become active later? With vendor creation = automatic I smell trouble...

Thanks in advance for a brief line on this!

All good. As expected, of course.

Thanks very much for your quick and sufficient response, Jerome!
