Hello,
I purchased Emerald today and I'm trying to integrate with Hikamarket for multi-vendor use.
I would like to move a user to a specific group once they have paid. It is not clear how this works. The purpose of purchasing emerald is to integrate with Hikamarket Vendor Options. A vendor must pay a six month subscription in order to be able to access their vendor account and add products to the shopping cart. Jerome from Hikamarket states that it is natively integrated with Emerald and Akeeba Subscriptions. But I don't see how. Here is his language:
Mode: Vendor paid subscription
If you want something automatic where your vendor have to subscribe to become vendor ; you can use a subscription system compatible with HikaShop and an option in HikaMarket.
Subscription system can change the user group depending the user subscription. Thanks to that, HikaMarket can create/activate/deactivate a vendor.
When the option Vendor registration is set to Vendor automatic creation you can also select some Joomla user groups.
If you select nothing, HikaMarket will automatically create the vendor account (like the previous point). But if you select some Joomla user groups, it will define the vendor status on that.
Please note that HikaMarket use the Joomla trigger to be notified when a user have a group modification ; the subscription component have to use the Joomla triggers to make HikaMarket work correctly.
The HikaMarket registration
So thanks to the menu Vendor edition page a user can register as a vendor (depending to your Joomla and HikaMarket settings).
If the user already have a Joomla account ; the registration page will ask him only the vendor fields. But if the visitor does not have an account, HikaMarket will allow him to register. In this particular mode, HikaMarket will create in the same time the Joomla account and the HikaMarket vendor.
HikaMarket have an option called Usergroup on registration. During the HikaMarket registration, the user that HikaMarket will create can have a special Joomla user group.
Thanks to that you can directly separate the users who have a vendor account than the others.
For example a account creating by the Joomla registration will have the user group Registered when an account creating by HikaMarket will have the user group Author.
Using special user groups for your vendors is interesting when you want to display specific menus using the Joomla Accesses.
In your Joomla backend, under Users > Access Levels, you can create a new access level named Vendors and select Author (to stay in our previous example).
You will have then a special access level for your vendors ; so you can create menus and only display these menus to your vendors.
Thanks for your help,
Dawn
