Description

This small extension requires a customer to be logged in order to view products or product collections. If the customer navigates to a page that contains a product or a product collection, she will be redirected to the account login page. Alternatively the customer can be redirected to a configurable CMS page.

You can disable the module on a global, website or store level, and also choose to hide the category navigation in the configuration.

This Module was designed to work with the Module Netzarbeiter_CustomerActivation, which only allows customers to log in after they have been activated in the adminhtml interface. There also is the Netzarbeiter_GroupsCatalog2 extension which allows you to hide Categories and/or groups depending on the customers groups. Installing this extension together with the Customer Groups Catalog Extension will probably make no sense, so you have to decide what suits your needs better.

Compatibility

• Magento >= 1.1
