VM Shopper Group Login Redirect Component

Editor's Note
  • This extension requires registration to download.
Virtuemart is the most powerful and most popular shoppign cart for the Joomla CMS. It has an awesome native shopper group capability that can be used to control the display of pricing and other important information in your shop. However, until now, there has been no way to direct shoppers to specific pages when they log in based on their Shopper Group. CorFun's VM Shopper Group Login Redirect closes that gap and now lets store owners direct shoppers of different shopper groups to the best pages for them.

CorFun, Inc. has used Virtuemart extensively to build shopping sites for customers for years. Often shops have multiple shopper classes such as Wholesale, Retail, Paid Member, or just Shopper. As a development team, we often found ourselves wanting to redirect Wholesale shoppers to a list of specials for them, while the regular Shoppers needed a different page. We were able to get around this by using JUGA and JACLPlus to create custom ACL groups and then using our regular login redirect component. However, this was not ideal, because it was too much effort and the Shopper Group was the natural place to control this process. Because we needed a simpler process that works with Virtuemart Shopper Groups directly, this component was created.

The component installs easily, and set up is very simple. After accessing the component, you will see as many dropdown boxes as you have Shopper Groups in Virtuemart. The first line is for a default URL for any groups not specified. Select as many different Shopper Groups as you like, and map them to different URLs within your store, or even on different Websites.
