I write because I wanted to see if it was possible to enable a type of payment method like the "check / money order" just for a specific group of customers.
My idea was to enable, from the backend, the "check / money order", then go to the file that showed on the checkout page and then hide it with an if in php.
My question was, in what page I can set the if?
Otherwise to show this type of payment only for a specific group of customers how could I do?
Thanks for any help
You need to add your field by a custom system.xml which adds this field and you need to observe the event payment_method_is_activedeclared in Mage_Payment_Model_Method_Abstract line 660-675. In your observer you need to do the check for the allowed customer groups.
Or you use the following extension: https://github.com/riconeitzel/PaymentFilter
https://github.com/riconeitzel/PaymentFilter/blob/master/app/code/community/RicoNeitzel/PaymentFilter/Block/Adminhtml/Group/Form.php and for the filtering see https://github.com/riconeitzel/PaymentFilter/blob/master/app/code/community/RicoNeitzel/PaymentFilter/Model/Observer.php lines 144-174.

SOLUTION: Past this code in app/code/core/Mage/Payment/Model/Method/Checkmo.php
$isLoggedIn = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->isLoggedIn();
/* If customer is logged in */
if($isLoggedIn) :
/* Get the logged in customer's group ID */
$customerGroupId = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomerGroupId();
/* Check if the logged in customer's group ID matches with the ID you are after */
/* Customer group IDs are listed against each group under Admin > Customers > Customer Groups */
if($customerGroupId == 8) :
****Content of class Mage_Payment_Model_Method_Checkmo extends Mage_Payment_Model_Method_Abstract****
endif;
endif;
in this way the type of payment can be viewed only customer ID group that you want .
