Question

I am working on a B2B site built in Magento which is a little different than normal Magento projects.

They want to pull some of the backend information to the front end.

All company personal who view the site, log in prior to viewing the frontend site thus I can set a role / handle permissions.

Would it be possible to print(on the storefront), all the information is in the backend just needs to be pulled out I imagine:

• The number of qty of that product that has been sold
• A page listing all the orders from that product e.g. Product 1 has a link on the product view titled “view all orders” and this shows all the orders of that product showing:
• Qty
• Email of user
• Customer group

Has anyone done similar like this or pass on advice/concerns.

Thanks

Answer 1

One of the way I have looked at achieving this was using the Magento API

$model = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');
        $product_id = $model->load($productid);  

        $filters = array(
            'state'   => array('eq' => 'complete')
        );


        $orders = Mage::getModel('sales/order_api_v2')->items($filters);

The problem lies however that Magento is not reading the filter.

Help much appreciated
