[Having said that I, liked your suggestion with regards to creating a product input page in the storefront application and insert the product using the Admin API.]

Hi Heidi,


Thank you for your thoughts/advice and your prompt reply.

Heidi, I was thinking along the lines of actually allowing all customers to add products onto the site. This meaning, I was planning on creating a sellers button so the customers from their home workstation/laptop can upload items for sale. In order to achieve the stated purpose I though of the following steps:

The user clicks on the seller's button
The user then enters their credentials to access the site
The user then adds products on to the site (name, category, image, price, tax, shipping costs etc). However, the user shall not access any further data and information on the site.

As far as I can see the only way to allow users access to the admin console is, by means of the administrator actually inputting the customer's credentials manually (one by one) and change their privileges to Admin user. Having said that I, liked your suggestion with regards to creating a product input page in the storefront application and insert the product using the Admin API.

I understand I may have to create a sellers table to hold their attributes. Therefore, can you please help with your step by step thoughts on to actually achieve the stated above.


Thanking you in advance.

Joe

Hi,

Thank you so much for sharing with us all your hard work. Truly fantastic source code and a great help to all Java developers.

My question is the following:

I would like to allow customers to add products to the site once they register/login. Basically, once they log in they are re-directed to the admin console or product (#kk_panel_products) page to add products. However, at present users are not allowed to do so, only Admin users have the necessary proviliges/attributes to access the Admin console...

Thanking you in advance
regards
Joe
