Multi-vendor roadmap. Let's discuss (UPDATE: done)

Just making a suggestion. It's all cool though. I'll just go through and make the changes myself with the items that don't implement multi-vendor.

not a big issue, but vendor manager user is allowed to specify product/product variant properties like "Show on home page" and "Admin comment".

I'm not sure this is desirable?

i dont think show on home page should be there, I limited it for admin only

@if(!Model.IsLoggedInAsVendor)
        {
        <tr>
            <td class="adminTitle">
                @Html.NopLabelFor(model => model.ShowOnHomePage):
            </td>
            <td class="adminData">
                @Html.EditorFor(model => model.ShowOnHomePage)
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ShowOnHomePage)
            </td>
        </tr>
        }

Agree. Thanks

I would also add some server-side validation. See changeset f3bea21dc6ac

i think the same should be valid for associating a product to Vendor in dropdown

a.m. wrote:

//cannot enable "show on home page"
model.ShowOnHomePage = false;

by adding this to edit a vendor will reset the value to false when ever product is saved.
admin may add the product to home page and the vendor will set it to false

Thanks. Agree. But in this case a vendor can send any value to a server. But it's better because a store owner will see it anyway and can block a vendor in this case

BTW, you solution will also reset the value. For a valid solution please see the latest version (we should hide the field on the client-side, not on a server-side)

It initially was done. A vendor does not see this dropdown

Created two more improvement suggestions:

Add support for VendorNavigation
