How to hide a category from users NOT in a group?

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.0 business edition
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.5
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Chrome

Sorry - this seems really basic - but I can't find how to do this anywhere.

What I want to do is 2 fold:

  1. when a person purchases any product in a specific category, it adds them to a group and then they are no longer able to see products in that category, and no longer able to see that category at all.
  2. Allow people to purchase one product in a category

I purchased the business version just to be able to use joomla groups/acl. That doesn't seem to be a problem. I just don't know how to hide things from the group.

Thanks in advance!

Frank.

Hi,

In each product, you'll find:
- the "access level" setting which allows you to display the product only for some user groups
- the "user group after purchase" setting which allows you to add the customer to a user group after a purchase.

So with these, you can give access to new products with the purchase of a product, but you can't remove access to products with a purchase.
What you can do instead is to configure a mass action via the menu System>Mass actions. Mass actions on orders have an action you can use to remove a user group from a customer after a purchase. So that should allow you to do that.
