Enabling
customer login
If you would like to have a login status box
on each page you will need to add one line of code where you would
like the login box
to appear.
The
code
you
need
is the
following:
<!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/incminilogin.asp"-->
Paste that into HTML / code view exactly where the login box should
appear and make sure that it comes somewhere after the
include lines:
<!--#include file="vsadmin/db_conn_open.asp"-->
<!--#include file="vsadmin/includes.asp"-->
<!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/languagefile.asp"-->
<!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.asp"-->
To enable the login you will then need to go to vsadmin/includes.asp
and add the line (if it's not already present) enableclientlogin=true
Finally you'll need to set up the login page itself. Open your
thanks.asp page and save it as clientlogin.asp. Then go
in to HTML / code view and locate this line:
<!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/incthanks.asp"-->
....and change it to
<!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/incclientlogin.asp"-->
Save clientlogin.asp and upload it to your server.
You should now be able to see the login box and the login page
on your store.

Login Dialogue on clientlogin.asp
Once you click on login you will be taken to a
page to enter your email address and password
Once logged in and viewing clientlogin.asp customers
can:
... view their account details
... edit their shipping and billing addresses
... as well as look up past orders.
To allow customers
to sign up for an account you will need this addition to vsadmin/includes.asp
allowclientregistration=true
To force customers to login before purchasing add this to vsadmin/includes.asp
forceclientlogin=true
To remove the prompt on cart.asp to login then add this
to your vsadmin/includes.asp file
noclientloginprompt=TRUE
Customers will be prompted on checkout if they
would like to log in or set up an account unless you have added
the setting above.
Setting
up a client for wholesale pricing, discounts and shipping / tax
exemption
In your home admin page there should be a link client
login admin, click to set up your clients'
options.
Click on new client login to add the details
and parameters available for each particular customer or use the
search feature to modify an existing client.
Enter the client login name, email address, password,
the relevant action (You can use CTRL + Click to select more than
one
choice)
and finally the
login level if applicable. When done, click on submit and your
client will have been set up with the parameters you have assigned.
The promotional email box if checked will write the client's email
address to the database and can be used for mail shots.
Login
level
You can assign different levels of login permissions on any page
to say that a particular page is restricted to anyone below
the login level assigned in the login admin section. For example,
if you set requiredloginlevel=4 then only people who you have set
up with a login value of 4 or above can view the page when logged
on. Only place the code on the pages where you need to restrict
access,
for example, it should not go on clientlogin.asp
To add the level of restriction to individual pages you will need
to add the line:
<% requiredloginlevel=4 %>
...where 4 is the threshold of permission for that page. This
needs to come anywhere before the line <
!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.asp"-->
Payment
methods
From Version 4.9.0 it is now possible to limit certain payment
methods to logged in customers if required.
Just select from the "Login Level" dropdown in the payment
provider admin page. |
