Hi, I have a question regarding user
logins for the ecommerce app. My understanding of the process is this. When a user
logs in, the app first checks to see if the user has permission to login to that
particular productStore (assuming that the option is set in the Catalog
Manager). Then if the customer role is set and the password authenticates
the user is logged in. This assumes
that the ecommerce app knows which store to check. What I want to do is a little
different. I would like to first authenticate the user then check to see
which productStore they have permission to access, then log them into that
productStore. The reason for this is that I currently have
aprox. 40K customers served by 18 geographically distinct
locations across the country (you could almost think of them as retail
stores, with inventory). Each customer is server out of one of these
locations, as well as from our corporate office. My superiors have deemed it
unacceptable to have a unique url for each of these locations so I'm forced
to find another solution. Any ideas on how I might
implement this would be very helpful. Thanks in advance, Michael _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ofbiz.org/mailman/listinfo/dev |
Sounds like all you need is a variation on the existing to code to select the store on the fly (which is supported, there is an event that does this that you can copy) based on the logged in user. You could even do it in a generic event using the after-login event section in the controller.xml file. -David Michael Brom wrote: > Hi, > > > > I have a question regarding user logins for the ecommerce app. My > understanding of the process is this.
