How come that vendor can change popularity number?
I can see a problem with that, because if there is on the front page block "Most popular" he can easily promote his products by putting very high number and so his products will be always on top.

Correct me if im wrong.

(sorry this article should be in Multivendor, cant change it now)

Hello Maky,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, I agree with you that a vendor could change this value manually in order to get non-fair profit in case a customer views products sorted by popularity in the storefront. I have forwarded information about this issue to our engineers. This possibility will be removed in one of the next CS-Cart releases.

If you want to have this fix right now, please contact us via Customer Help Desk so that our technical support engineer could provide you with it.

Thank you.

Thank you for answer. I also find out that vendor can change "bestselling" number.
Edit product / Add-ons / Bestselling- Sales Amount.

Hi, I have a workaround for this. You need to edit this template file: 'detailed_content.post.tpl' which is here:
\design\backend\templates\addons\bestsellers\hooks\products\

'detailed_content.post.tpl' is a very short file, you will find this line halfway down:

<input type="text" id="sales_amount" name="product_data[sales_amount]"

simply add readonly="true" into that line like this:

<input type="text" readonly="true" id="sales_amount" name="product_data[sales_amount]"

You will now find that the vendor (and you!) will be unable to change the value, but will still see it in the tabs.

I hope this helps,
John

This is CS CART problem that vendors have too much rights and admin cannot control them.

 

How to change those two things (bestseller + popularity) that vendor can see but not allow them amend? 

 

Thank you.

replace

Issue reported in 2013 still NOT fixed? Five years for a simple tweak?

Hi eComLabs,

Regarding similar fix for this issue, how do you use {if $smarty.const.ACCOUNT_TYPE == 'vendor'}readonly="true"{/if} for product details view? Because i dont want vendor to choose product theme when adding product?

 

Thank you so much

[eComLabs]

Please clarify what do you mean by "product theme"?

Hello!

 

If you mean "Product details view" setting, please try to replace

<select class="span5" id="elm_details_layout" name="product_data[details_layout]">

with

<select class="span5" id="elm_details_layout" name="product_data[details_layout]" {if $smarty.const.ACCOUNT_TYPE == 'vendor'}disabled="disabled"{/if}>
