HI,
I am trying to create a site for client. The client sells fabrics they would like the general public to be able to buy samples for a set small price and trade customers be able to order them for free.
I am guessing that I need some sort of custom registration page as I would prefer for them not to see the standard wordpress login screen. I have found this bit of code which creates a sliding login panel – http://www.blogohblog.com/how-to-build-a-top-sliding-login-panel/
There is also this plugin which enables registered users to be assigned into groups – https://wordpress.org/plugins/groups/
This plugin enables certain groups to be shown different prices within woocommerce – http://wisdmlabs.com/woocommerce-user-specific-pricing-extension/
So I am guessing that between these 3 I can achieve what I am trying to do. I am thinking that all users who register would be assigned as customers and certain accounts be changed into the trade group by the admins.
How can I alter the themes header.php file to try adding the sliding logon code? Also can you see any other problems with what I am going to attempt?
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Mark
Hi Mark,
Since it’s going to be a e-commerce website you can use the WooCommerce plugin. It offers both Customer Login and Registration page of it’s own. Regretfully we cannot support any modifications to the header other than minor cosmetic changes due to the fact that X is a highly dynamic theme with many elements being constructed on the fly based on options in the Customizer. Among these, the header is one of the more complex elements of the theme and structural modifications to it will likely lead to numerous layout problems as there are a lot of things to take into consideration because of X’s responsive nature. Taking all of this into consideration, these types of updates are out of the scope of our support as their involvement is simply too great and we are a very small team. While we would love to be able to assist all of our users with every customization request, the simple reality is that we cannot cater to every inquiry. Additionally, we will not be able to support any issues that might arise from modifications made to this area on your own.
Thank you for your understanding.
