Replace page link with another on customer login?

Permalink
Hi,

I'm hoping this is a simple one, but..

I have a site which i am trying to add a wholesale element to.

Currently we have the standard 'store' page which has a selection of products within. What I want to do is add a wholesale part so when a wholesale customer logs in and they are in the 'wholesale' group the 'Store' link is replaced with a 'Wholesale' page which will have within the products at wholesale prices.

I am sure this can't be tough to do, but would really appreciate a little guidance on the best way forward with this!

thanks for looking

Its not something I have done for real, but I think you can do this with advanced permissions. I had a play with this a while back to make sure it was possible for a project I was working on, but have not got to that stage of the project yet.

Set up a user group 'wholesalers' and assign them to the group.

Then set permissions on the 'wholesalers' page tree for the whole tree to only be visible to users in this group.

I am not so sure about hiding the 'sales' tree. I think you can set the permissions so that it is visible to every group (inc unregistered), but not the 'wholesalers'.

Failing that, I would add some jQuery to the theme header to detect the 'wholesalers' links and if present, remove the sales links from the DOM.
