Wholesale or Public Categories

This plug-in was created to help administrate wholesaler and regular users a little more efficiently. We understand that sometimes you may want to make certain categories accessible to a certain group of users and/or available to the entire public. This is especially useful if only wholesale users are allowed to see categories that the general public shouldn't see.

This plug-in was created by Reaching Edge Design Group, an active 3rd party developer that develops and creates plug-in and many other customizations for Pinnacle Cart and other compatible shopping cart systems. Reaching Edge Design Group has been using and developing around the Pinnacle Cart system since 2004 and is pleased to help promote the core fantastic functionality of the this cart system, with our easy to manage plug-in.

Reaching Edge Design Group cannot be held responsible for a failed installation due to other customizations by your yourself or other 3rd party developers. The goal of each plug-in is to make installation, un-installation, and reinstallation easy; especially in the event of a cart upgrade. If you run into any problems or have any ideas to extend this plug-in, please contact us as http://www.reachingedge.com/contact_us.html.

3. Once these are enabled you can manage categories as usual, but you will see a new drop down box of options. This will help the cart system distinguish which categories a user can see.
4. Activating this option only affects categories from displaying in the category navigation. It only modifies the default category navigation scheme.
5. This plug-in is not designed to work with our CSS Popout Menu plug-in. Let us know if you need this and we can help customize it to work with that and any other customized category navigation.

• In the event of a cart upgrade, don't forget to disable the plug-in before you begin. This will uninstall the plugin. Once the upgrade is completed you can re-enable it.
