Ok I guess that means it will be save to wipe everything on the home directory, because it sounds like all the data and settings are kept in tables on the mySQL server. I won’t be touching any of those tables because I want to keep them after I re-install WP.
Once I re-install everything I will find out if it worked. Will I have to modify any of the plugin files to point to the old tables? Because if I re-install the plugins will they create new tables or would they check for pre-existing tables first?
Ok also I cannot find the “eStore-extra-shortcodes.php” file but I assume that is because I still have the older version of eStore. Now that I know how to update that I will get that fixed.
But basically so I can brief the .php programmer, they have to replicate one of the fancy display codes and place it into the “eStore-extra-shortcodes.php” file. Then just add an “if” statement which checks the membership level and displays the “Add to Cart” button only to signed in members.
Ok thank you very much. I will upgrade the eStore and check the “Only Logged In Members Can Checkout” option anyway so that at least I have a database of all buyers.
That custom short code is also an excellent idea. That will be a much better way to do it then putting the “if function” in as shown earlier.
One last question then: if I get someone to develop the short code, which .php file contains all the short code functions?
Thank you very much, you have been a great help. I wouldn’t know what to do without you. I will put the url for the finished shopping cart up on this post.
Well that would be a great way to solve my problem. I have checked “WP eStore Settings -> AddOn Settings” and all I have there is checkboxes for options concerning affiliate shopping. I have also searched the rest of the settings including the settings for eMember and did find the option.
Maybe something to do with my version? I have eStore 3.6.2 and eMember 6.3.0. eStore was installed first then followed by eMember.
The question is also – with the option that you have suggested will I be able to control the checkout for specific products? Unfortunately that is my big problem, I need to be able to control specifically what products can be bought by anyone and what products can be only bought by clients.
Thank you for your feedback so far. It’s really great.
I tried inserting the code the way you explained but it came up with an error. That’s ok, there is only so much that you can help me with. Unless you are interested in doing some work on the side with this? (PM me if you are interested).
The other thing you mentioned is the membership plugin, which I actually already have. I purchased the eStore and eMember plugin as a set and got both up and running. I just couldn’t find any functionality in either plugin which would allow me to restrict non-members from purchasing certain products. Of course I can hide an entire page with products in it but that would mean that visitors won’t be able to see what great products we have for offer. It’s complicated because we are an alternative medicine clinic, and we cannot sell products to every person who walks in from the streets. Only clients.
So if anything more comes to mind please let me know or PM me. Otherwise I will continue looking for someone on elance.
Thanks.
First of all thank you for this great efficient plugin. It works like a charm. I just had a similar customization problem as mentioned in this post. I need to restrict the use of the “Add to Cart” button to registered users only. And if someone is not logged in it would be nice to alternatively display a “Log In” button where the “Add to Cart” button normally is.
I have gone to the eStore_misc_functions.php and have found the line of code like you described but I am myself not experienced in creating WP code. Could you help me with creating this short piece of code?
Furthermore I would require that this “restrict to signed in user” function can be item specific so that not every product in the store is restricted to signed in users.
I would really appreciate your help since I haven’t managed to get anywhere with this problem in the last month.
Thank you.
