I'd like to see a link to the vendorCp in the navigation menu to make it easier for vendors to access their area. I added a link to my vendor drop down menu, however, it would be nice to have the menu item only be visible for members with access to that area.

Also, it would be nice to have the vendorCP be integrated with the site style rather than look like the admin panel.

There are probably ways to do this manually, but I haven't figured them out yet.

Jim,

You can make the link you added in the drop down show only for the usergroup that has VendorCP permissions.

Code Sample

PHP Code:


			
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 16)">
   <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/vendorcp">Vendor CP</a>
<br /><br />
</if>

In the example above 16 is the usergroup ID number, replace with the ID number of the usergroup you have assigned VendorCP rights to.

Thanks Nathan - That works like a charm. I can use that for a few other items as well.

So besides putting the vendorCP in the site style, I also would like to see a way to customize the Registration Page with specific information/instructions. A place where I could put information about the sponsorship signup process...ie., detail features that sponsors get on my site.

Also I mentioned this before, but there should be a link in the vendor listing information so that if the sponsor has elected to have a forum on my site, users can link direct to their forum. (Like DTO Clubs already has...if you created a column in the table with Vendor Forum that would be cool.

Lastly, there should be a setting to specify how many characters are shown on the vendor listing information before a "more" box is shown that would allow users to click to see the rest of their description. As you can see here: Captive Reefs - Powered by vBulletin

Vendors with a lot of description info, sort of blow up the flow of the page.
