Change add to cart button based on customer group

Question

Can anyone explain me how and where I can customize the add to cart button functionality based on the current customer group? I’d like to show a popup or redirect to a CMS page but only for a specific customer group.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance! Damian

Answer 1

You can check first customer is logged in or not, If logged in get customer Group. based on group you can Pop Up message.

$login = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->isLoggedIn(); //Check if User is Logged In
if($login)
{
    $groupId = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomerGroupId(); //Get Customers Group ID

    $group = Mage::getModel('customer/group')->load($groupId);

    $groupName = $group->getCode();

    if($groupName == 'General'){

    //Here should be Pop up code

    }
}

Edit I: If you want to redirect to CMS page you can use:

Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getResponse()->setRedirect(Mage::getBaseUrl().'contacts');

Edit II :

If you want to replace add to cart button based on customer group you can edit below file:

[magento_root]/app/design/frontend/[package]/[theme]/template/catalog/product/view/addtocart.phtml

You can put above code in your phtml file where you want to check customer group.
