Overview

Customer Groups Catalog2

ABOUT

Please check Github for the very latest updates.

This extension enables you to hide categories and products from customers depending on their customer group. It is a rewrite of the Magento extension Netzarbeiter_GroupsCatalog for Magento 1.6 and newer.

If you use Magento 1.5 or 1.4 please refer to the older extension: on Magento Connect. This rewrite not only cleans up the code base, it also adds several new features and improvements:

• Configurable if you want to hide everything and select products and categories to show or vica versa.
• Use of an index which means support of an unlimited customer groups without DB table hacks.
• Faster frontend usage, especially noticeable with large catalogs and complex settings.
• Fully configurable on a store view level.

The source to this extension can be found on github.

USAGE

You can specify a default visibility setting for all categories and products under System / Configuration / Netzarbeiter Extensions / Groups Catalog 2. There you can also choose to disable the extension (on a store view level).

The default after installation is no categories or products are hidden. You can override the default settings for every product and category in the Product Management and Category Management pages. If you use some non-standard mechanism or import for products and categories, it might be necessary to rebuild the GroupsCatalog index. You can do so by visiting the Page System / Index Management. There check the checkboxes beside the indexes "GroupsCatalog Products" and "GroupsCatalog Categories", select the "Reindex Data" action and click the "Submit" button.

INSTALL

After installation please refresh the (config, layout and block_html) cache, and then log out of the admin area and log back in again to avoid getting a 404 error on the Module configuration page. Then visit the configuration page at System / Configuration / Netzarbeiter Extensions / Groups Catalog 2 and configure as needed.

UPGRADE from the old extension (up to Magento 1.5)

To upgrade, first create a backup (file system and database). Then install the GroupsCatalog 2 module, and visit the admin page at System / Tools / Groups Catalog 2 Migration. There you will find a step-by-step wizard assisting you to migrate all settings for the system configuration, all products and all categories.

UNINSTALL

If you ever uninstall the extension (I don't hope so ;)) your site will be broken, because Magento does not support a mechanism to automatically execute a script when an extension is removed. This script adds two attributes with custom source, frontend and backend models, and when the extension is removed Magento can't find those models anymore. To fix the Error, you have to execute the following SQL:

DELETE FROM `eav_attribute` WHERE attribute_code = 'groupscatalog2_groups'; DELETE FROM `core_resource` WHERE code = 'netzarbeiter_groupscatalog2_setup';

Don't forget to clear the cache, afterwards.

In case of problems please open an issue on Github. I do not follow the comments in the review's here on Magento Connect.

Customer Groups Catalog2 4 5 30 30

This extension works! I had problems with the 0.2.5, but now it works great with the 0.2.6. If you Get an error 404 when you go to system>configuration>Groups Catalog2, just log out to the admin site and login again. Don't forget clear the cache! April 21, 2013

Don't install it, not working properly and after uninstall you will get 404 eh.. February 12, 2013

Installed Version number: 0.2.4 Stability: Stable, while install Magento still refers it to Beta release? so i changed install settings to beta and then installed, worked fine after reindexing and clearing all cache. December 4, 2012

Not sure what went wrong. Brand new fresh install of 1.7.0.2, nothing else done with it but one other extension (added quote functionality) and installing this caused my product categories to totally break, causes PHP errors to throw up trying to go to categories in the admin and nothing shows up on frontend. :( November 27, 2012

Hi, when i was unistall i found this error in my website: "Fatal error: Call to a member function setAttribute() on a non-object in /home/..." how i can unistall and don´t find this error? Thanks November 20, 2012

works perfect, running a b2b shop on 1.7.0.2, no issues with this module... November 14, 2012

Just installed on 1.7 version. Get an error 404 when I go to system>configuration>Groups Catalog2 Looking forward to the stable version of this November 6, 2012

Hi Vinai, your extension is great but has a strong issue that should be noted. The extension messes up a highly used extension/module: excellence ajax wishlist. When you install your extension, suddenly Ajax Wishlist isn't able to add products to the wishlist without presenting the following error: "An error has occurred while adding item to wishlist". If you could fix this problem, I'll definitely go back to using your extension. I just can't lose my wishlist for it.. thanks man October 30, 2012

Great extension. Even greater developer, especially when it comes to fixing bugs :) Thanks, Vinai! October 23, 2012

Hi Vinai, Many thanks for great extension it works great in Magento 1.7.0.2 in general. I have still problems reindexing in one of my stores but I guess this is due to a conflict with Simple Configurable Products extension. I will carry on looking at and post anything I found in order to fix this. Regarding Customer Groups Catalog2 I was wondering... is there a way to show products and/or categories but avoid no logged in users to access them? October 13, 2012

Answer: 

This error is related to an unclean uninstall of another extension, namely Netzarbeiter_GroupsCatalog.
This extension is Netzarbeiter_GroupsCatalog2, which is a rewrite of the former for Magento 1.6 and newer.

The GroupsCatalog2 extension contains a migration wizard under System > Tools, but it requires the old module to still be installed when the process is started.

Please refer to the readme file of the respective modules for uninstall instructions.

Answer: 

I will mark this extension as stable when I think it's time.

Until then, you can set the preferred stability to beta in the downloader to install the extension.

This extension is being used in many production environments, but please be aware that you do so at your own risk.

Configuring categories

Avatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_26113358

Is it possible to configure categories as visible, but not accessible? The desired result is to keep the "hidden" categories in the navigation as opposed to removing them completely while directing the users from groups that are being restricted access to the registration/login or other page.
