ADMIN - Customers Errors

[Cheeky Chino]

Hi Guys,

Im getting these customer errors in the admin after my site upgrade.

I think I went from 2.4 or something to the lastest version.

Errors:
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in admin/customers.php on line 1099

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in admin/customers.php on line 1101

Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in admin/includes/classes/object_info.php on line 29

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in admin/includes/classes/object_info.php on line 30

Im not sure if this would have created a problem but to get the existing customers over i just exported from the old DB to the new one.

How do i fix this?

EDIT:
Also getting these errors when editing a customer:
Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in admin/includes/classes/object_info.php on line 29

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in admin/includes/classes/object_info.php on line 30

That is typically a result of bad data. The data which comprises a "customer" comes from several tables. Those errors typically appear when one or more of those tables is empty or does not contain the expected record for the selected customer.

A proper upgrade of a Zen Cart site uses the /zc_install/index.php script to do convert the old database to the new structure. You can find the details of the upgrade process in the upgrade documentation which came with your version of Zen Cart.
It's important to use the upgrade program because it not only preserves the data, but also handles upgrading the database structure.

Could you advise me which tables are linked to the customers table?

Yes, the link I posted in my previous post explains that.

Yes i clicked through your link, and i didn't really help with my situation.

It doesnt say what tables etc are exactly upgraded changed etc, it's just saying that you should run the upgrade wizard etc...

The link I posted specifically answers your question about "which tables are linked to the customers table".

The correct way to upgrade your database structure is to use the supplied upgrade script. It takes all of 5-10 minutes. Maybe 15 including backups.


The documented upgrade instructions are written and supplied not just to take up disk space, but to provide a plan which will prevent you from having the problems you're reporting.


So, since it seems you are bent on using a new database and merging data, instead of upgrading the original one, you'll need to:
1. Upgrade your "old" database using the supplied zc_install upgrade script.
2. Then import the tables related to customer-data.
That way you'll have the data in the right format.
