User Forms for 2 Sets of Users

I have 2 user tables one for customers and one for vendors. How can I modify all the forms to use one set of forms if you're a customer and one set of forms if you're a vendor? Some sort of variable and then IF statements maybe set on the pages?

Customer Login Vendor Login

Thanks.

How can you tell the difference? Probably you would force login and store the status "Vendor" or "Customer" when they log in. I don't see how you could tell the difference until they log in, and then you could use the session variable from there.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

I have 2 login buttons

Customer Login

Vendor Login

How do I set the session and use the IF statement to check which variable is set?

Session variables can be set with Security Assist Login, or by using the Set session varialbe server behavior that comes with cookies toolkit and eCart. You can create a rule with SecurityAssist based on that session variable and then use the Security Assist "Show If" server behavior to hide or show buttons based on that rule.
