step8601

sorry, i will get back to this and report back, again my apology

nice!

yes, i had to enable Front End Restriction

….and it worked!

thanks so much, this is such a neat plugin, i can see this applying to lots of sites

really appreciate this plugin and your help tweaking it

thanks again ??

hmmm, even better would be to “gray out” the restricted categories checkboxes but still display them

this way, the category architecture is still displayed to the seller (in case there are lots of cats/subcats) but they can still see the allowed cats with checkable checkboxes

hope this makes sense

thanks

btw, would be cool if the restricted cats/subcats are not even displayed to the seller

would help cut down on support requests (“hey, i’d like to add my stuff to Top Cat 1, thanks”)

1. i did a fresh install of wp 4.3.1, woocommerce, dokan-lite, and Restrict Taxonomies (all latest versions)

2. i adjusted the permalinks per the dokan-lite instructions:

A) Common Settings should be set to Post Name
B) Product permalink base should be set to Product

3. i then created a few top categories and sub categories

Top Cat 1
– subcat 1
– subcat 2
Top Cat 2
– subcat 1
– subcat 2
Top Cat 3

4. i then went into Restrict Taxonomies and put check marks only in the subcats, not in any top cats, see two pics here to see RT settings:

5. i then created a new user through admin as a “seller”, then i clicked to edit that new user to “enable” that user as a seller (slide down the edit screen, you gotta get the hang of how dokan works, first create the user as a seller and then edit that user to enable that user as a seller, try it you’ll see)

6. then i logged out of wp admin and logged in as the new seller

7. then i went to my seller dokan dashboard and clicked products and then clicked Add New Product

8. you should now see the fresh list of cats and subcats

9. i then entered a product title, uploaded a main product image, and then selected one of the top cats, and then clicked to submit the new product (you’ll see the submit button at the bottom of the add-product form)

10. it then allowed that new product to be submitted and was put into a pending status

11. i then logged out as that test seller and then logged in as admin

12. went into products, and there it was, the seller-submitted product awaiting approval, listed in a (restricted) top cat

so it looks like there is a way for sellers to submit products to restricted product cats

are you able to reproduce the issue at all given the above?

many thanks

i think i’ll do a totally new install

start with just wp, then install Restrict Taxonomies, see what’s what, then add woocommerce, test RT again, install dokan, etc, then install other stuff and see what happens. i’ll also create a few “seller” users for dokan to see if that messes things up. i’ll report back

i think this is a pro feature, i’m messin with the free version to test things out

hi, great, here are some screenshots:

1. also, i just upgraded to the latest version issued i believe today

2. btw, if you allow adding to a top-level category, does that also automatically allow adding to that top-level category’s subcats too? or is each cat and subcat completely independent?

thanks for looking into this

+1

+1

thanks

i can’t believe that the designers of the theme i’m using put some publically displayed data into hidden fields

if Joe Frazier is in the subtitle of a listing (directory theme), and someone searches for Frazier, then shouldn’t that listing be returned?

of course

yes, please add the ability to enable specific hidden fields, would be great

thanks

oops

shoulda said:

there are some meta_value values that

sorry

should have said

i think i’m noticing that meta_key values that start with an underscore…

is this working now?

(i’m just starting to play with this but obviously this is an important question)

thanks

any resolution to this?

is the pro version better?

thanks
