hello,

is it possible to make chat available to registered customers only.

By default this feature is not available in nopCommerce but still you can accomplish this by doing some addition/modification.

I am assuming that you have configured the live chat script in the admin section.

Go to MasterPage (TwoColumn or ThreeColumn - whichever you are using)

Comment out this code from your masterpage:

<nopCommerce:LiveChatBlock ID="ctrlLiveChatBlock" runat="server" />

By commenting it out, live chat won't be available to everyone (i.e non-registered customers).
Now create/add a new aspx page in your project.

Let's assume you name it as LiveChat.aspx

Now add the live chat module in this page (same module code that you commented on your masterpage)

<nopCommerce:LiveChatBlock ID="ctrlLiveChatBlock" runat="server" />

Also, at the top of the page add this reference also:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="nopCommerce" TagName="LiveChatBlock" Src="~/Modules/LiveChatBlock.ascx" %>

Now go to .cs file of this new page, LiveChat.aspx.cs

Use this code so that only registered users/members will be able to view the content of this page ( which will be live chat)

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Data;
using System.Text;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Caching;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using NopSolutions.NopCommerce.BusinessLogic;
using NopSolutions.NopCommerce.BusinessLogic.Localization;
using NopSolutions.NopCommerce.BusinessLogic.Payment;
using NopSolutions.NopCommerce.BusinessLogic.SEO;
using NopSolutions.NopCommerce.Common.Utils;

namespace NopSolutions.NopCommerce.Web
{
    public partial class LiveChat : BaseNopFrontendUserControl
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            if (NopContext.Current.User == null || NopContext.Current.User.IsGuest)
            {
                string loginURL = SEOHelper.GetLoginPageUrl(true);
                Response.Redirect(loginURL);
            }
        }
    }
}

Now, go back to your master page > same place where you commented the live chat module > Now add a image button or hyperlink > link it with the new page "LiveChat.aspx"

Re-built your project and test it - it should work !!!

Now if anyone on your homepage will click on the link/image button > they will be navigated to live chat page > since you have added the above mentioned code, the page will ask the member to login first.

Let me know if you face any problem.

    {

        {
            CommonHelper.SetResponseNoCache(Response);

            if (NopContext.Current.User == null || NopContext.Current.User.IsGuest)
            {
                string loginURL = SEOHelper.GetLoginPageUrl(true);
                Response.Redirect(loginURL);
            }

           
        }

    }
}
