hi

how do i make the "vendor product add" work for one category only?

sample

i have one main category with 3 sub categories named sub cat 1, sub cat 2 and sub cat 3.

when i make a menu "Vendor product add" i want the menu to have something like:

menu = add product to main category and choose from sub category
menu = add product to sub cat 1 only
menu = add product to sub cat 2 only
menu = add product to sub cat 3 only

in this way the vendor can immediately click on the menu and add the product to a specific category and he wont be shown the rest?

thank you

Hi,

What I can recommend you is to perform a little customization for your HikaMarket "productmarket / form" view.
You can change how the category is manage in the view so, if there is a parameter in the URL (or in the form), it will set the category automatically as an hidden field (so the vendor won't see the field at all).

Thanks to that, you will be able to create different links for the product creation and pass each time the selected category ID.
For sure, it could be better to check the parameter to be sure that the vendor won't try to add the product anywhere (but HikaMarket already perform these check during the product save and will put the product in the vendor main category if there is a problem).

Regards,

thanks jerome

can you give me an example?

it would be great to automatically set the category for a product.

thanks again

Hi,

Unfortunately, I cannot give you an example more precise ; it would be more like custom development than support on the usage of the software.
But what i can tell you is that it concern the block which start with and which use a namebox for the category selection.

Regards,

thank you so much jerome.

with luck i got this work

my next issue is the category setting. i created categories and set the the user access to super administrator. unfortunately its still appearing in the front end for registered members.

how do i fix this?

thanks

Hi,

You're talking about the HikaMarket category listing or the HIkaShop category listing ?
