I am completely new with ZenCart. I have a project that is currently manageable by 1 person. That is Admin is only person to manage that shop. I have requirement to have customer executive panel. Means Admin wants to give rights to other persons to become customer executive. They would have privilege to add product, manage product, and something more like that. Only Admin would have privilege to manage executives. I mean moderators Plugin.
Is their something like that available?? Currently I m meeting up my requirements using Core PHP. integrating with sub-part of my project. I want to reduce work load of Admin, by adding up moderator panel. Please help me with proper guidance.
I think what you're looking for is the Admin Profiles capability which was added in since v1.5.0.
While it's possible to install an older plugin (also named Admin Profiles) onto older versions of Zen Cart, the profile features in v1.5.0 are more efficient than what the older plugin offered.

I've been developing web apps some years now, actually as a hobby. When I write something, unsing Laravel, Sails.js, or Meteor and I add a feature, I upload it and it's there, for everyone.
However, I've always been wondering how bigger sites like facebook manage to roll out features to just some users. Do they push their changes to just some servers? But in that case - how do they manage the make the selected users access just these servers?
Or some db entry to see if the user has access to the feature/ version?
So how does it work?
Really interested in this :)
Large sites like Facebook use a technique called Feature toggles to control the functionality that is active at run-time. The following blog article describes Facebook's approach:

We have a multi-store setup with magento operating across multiple domains.
Some of these websites are wholesale b2b websites and some are retail b2c websites.
We have a different price per retail and wholesale websites (which was easy to do in magento config) we do this as we force wholesale customers to purchase in multiples by using the magento minimum allowed in cart and must be bought in multiples inventory features. However we cannot seem to switch this off for the retail stores.
We would also like to allow backorders on wholesale website but not on the retail ones and this setting is also set to global and we cannot change it to website.
We have found several extensions that do multi-inventory (built for multiple locations etc) but these do not seem to do these inventory functions or are way too bloated for us. we only use 1 inventory we just need to switch 'allow backorders', 'minimum allowed in cart' and 'must be bought in multiples' to website scope instead of global.
Can someone please help with this. If we need to create and module and you can do it/help to do it we would be happy to pay for your services.
We are using Magento CE 1.7
Thanks
There's no simple solution. You can create new attributes instead of default stock attributes and override methods to use them on website level. So you need to develop small extension.
Hi I am using CAS for SSO. But problem is that i want reset password,register new user on CAS login screen.Does CAS provide these services or i have to implement?
Or Any other SSO solution exist which fulfill my requirement.
CAS is just a SSO frontend to your existing identity management solution (database, LDAP etc). It does not include any identity management features itself (create user account, reset password etc). I have recently been using the Cloudseal platform which is a full identity management solution and so far I am pretty impressed. I believe Atlassians Crowd also includes this although I have not used it. There are probably other products out there as well.
Both of these are commercial products although they are both free for the first 50 users. Crowd is a traditional standalone platform which you download, install and configure but Cloudseal is a hosted service so there is no installation and less config.
You can certainly modify the spring weblog and login page to allow for the functionality that of course you'd have to implement. You should also ask the question on #cas-user mailing list to see if a similar need in the community has been implemented by other users which you may be able to take advantage of. I remember only recently someone raised the same question to the list and there was a bit of interest in getting this feature developed and integrated. You may want to revisit the topic on the mailing list.
Hope this helps.
I need to find a CMS like, set of modules/module which does the following:
give users different logins and access to add their own products.
other users cannot see products which are not added by themselves.
so user A can enter his login and add a set of 5 products. user B can enter his login and add 2 products. user A can never see the 2 products added by B and vice versa.
Any suggestion in already existing modules?
both free and with a price
You can do this with Forms and Lists. Setup the fields you want to collect and then you can use it to only render the logged in users results to them. Also could use XMLdb module or even reports module to query the data out of the database after saved with forms and lists
So no one can see each others products? They are just going to buy from themselves? ;)
Tricky part about users adding their own products is payment. That's why this is not a common store feature. If you allow people to add products, you usually need to allow them to setup their own payment provider to collect the money. And in some cases you (the site owner) would want to take a percentage. Which makes it even more complicated.
I'm not aware of any GOOD DotNetNuke e-commerce module that can do this.
It's very possible Catalook has some feature to do this. They have somehow tried to add every feature ever imagined into their product. But, overall I find it terrible to work with. That is your best bet for trying to get something like that out of the box.
Or try and get one of the open source solutions like NBstore and modify it.
I have a couple of questions regarding IBM Portal Portlets.
I have just stumbled into the realm of Portlets - and as far as I am concerned was dropped into the deep end. Having to work on a IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1
We are still in the evaluation stage - and three things that I haven't been able to find clear answers to yet.
Database - is there one single Database that also gets used by the installed Portlets - or do you configure DB individually on a per Portlet Basis?
Authorization and Authentication - how can a Portlet get hold of the User and the rights the user has?
Are there any known constraints in using JSR-301 compliant JSF Bridges instead of bog standard Portlets?
Thanks in advanced.
I haven't used Portal 7 yet, but I have used pretty much every other version, so my apologies if you are using 7 and this information doesn't fit exactly.
1) Database: when you install portal, you configure a database it uses to store portal configuration (and sometimes user rights as well, although this aspect can be set up using a custom user registry like LDAP). If you don't have an already dedicated DB, Portal will use its packaged DB, Cloudscape/Derby. This DB can be completely separate from the DB that the portlets use to manipulate data unrelated to configuration. E.g. if your portlet is displaying inventory for a bike shop, the DB holding that info can be accessed in the normal web application way through a datasource set up in the WAS GUI.
2) For a lot of scenarios, your portlet doesn't need to know the user's rights, it won't render the portlet unless the user has been assigned the correct rights via Portal Administration. But in the cases in which you would need to know the user's rights, they can be accessed via the Portal User Management Architecture. Here's a good whitepaper on the subject: http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/dw/websphere/PUMA_scenarios.pdf
3) Known constraints? You may have to google for that specifically, but I will say that unless you use IBM's custom JSF bridge, there may not be a lot of support from IBM's technical issue team if you come up against a problem. However, the support guys are usually pretty helpful, I find. Don't let that stop you from trying though :)
The two resources that I use pretty exhaustively are the InfoCenter http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wpdoc/v6r1/index.jsp and the developer forums on IBM Developerworks.
Best of luck, and welcome to the dark side!
