Where is the manager menu?

In the "Basic install and setup" from the documentation it says:

"Create a Store Back Office - Add a new page to your website called "Store Menu". On this new page add the module NB_Store_ManagerMenu"

But where do i get the "NB_Store_ManagerMenu" module from?!?

Hi,

From the dropdown box in the DNN menu with modules you can select the NB_Store_Backoffice.
The NB_store_managerMenu is the same.

With regards, Ton

Thx for the response. :-)
Im a bit confused though, because i thought the "manager" role wouldve limited access in the backoffice, but it seems it has full access?

My client has his stock at an external provider and when an order is placed they shall receive an email and then log in to the site and be able to see the order and change its status.

Is there any role fit for that?

Thx in advance. :-)

hi sizzler,

 

in the BO under utilities > templates >system > Back Office there is a template called "menu.xml".

If you look at the xml you will see at the end of some xml nodes a tag like: roles="Manager"

You can add this tag to the role which you want your client to have access to.

What I do is to set the menu items that I don't want the client to have access to to : roles="Administrator" and the menu items they do have access to to roles="Manager" because I don't give my clients to Admin functions of the site.

Be very cereful when changing the xml, an error will cause the BO menu system not to display and then you'll have a problem ;-)

Copy the xml to vs and change it there then copy it back.

Greetings,

Geoff

Hi Jake,

a last thing...

When you change the menu.xml got to BO > Admin and click "Restart Dnn Application" to clear the cache, then your changes will be displayed.

Greetings,
