Add Customers from admin addon

[mprough]

I did not comment out the Gender issue as I believe it to be store specific.

However, I took the bug fixes down below and added them and resubmitted the contrib...

Looked at your CSV and uploaded it w/o error to my store... Second customer was not added as no name was present... Some info is required.

You successfully received welcome?



Select Part (Insert valid lines)

it will then ignore any inherent errors. I deleted the customer file no worries.

Also, the #1 address field was correctly imported to the correct spot in your customer record.

Still not working on my end.

Maybe there is a hosting specific problem.. I didn't write the existing module, we only added the ability to bulk upload.

Sorry, I really don't know except I am able to use it successfully.

I would be willing to have our contract programmers look in to it, except 2.0 is due soon and it seems rather pointless.

You have php 4x? and is it running as a cgi? this would be the most common incompatibility I can think of.

Ok - so my little brain was processing ALL the possibilities and I deduced that the program I used to create the .csv may be the culprit ~ so i created a .csv with excel, did an upload and EUREKA! Success (sort of)
See attached for error.



error: reads: admin error line 377 (same as before)

Thanks for all your time looking at this!

The errors are exactly what they say they are..... Last name is required.

Zones must be defined.

and it will not overwrite an existing customer file

Try this if you didn't when uploading Select Part (Insert valid lines)
The gender issue has to be store specific.... Maybe an admin can comment on its use/non-use?

Yes, I can live with the errors - other than the line 377 error - let me see if the fix earlier suggested for that error works on it.

Thanks again for all your help!

Hi all,
Ive read all the thread, tested the files and the fixes on a test site - all like the good noob I strive to be, with this outcome:

All works absolutely fine with the exception of:
1. array error (gender backend php)
2. Company field omits and replaced by first line of address.

Line 2). I can deal with by manually editing the fields once the customer has been created so not a prob but.....

Line 1). - All I need to know is Is this error OK to live with?? Am I gonna break anything if I put the mod on my live site? Is there a newer version due soon (preferable)?

Dont think for one minute that I dont love you guys and gals for all the effort and design cos I do.

Thank you.
Nick.

1. array error (gender backend php)

This is a store specific thing.... Read down below and comment it out.

2. Company field omits and replaced by first line of address.

This exists in the orig module only.... When using the bulk upload that we added the company is inserted fine. I need to fix that, but time is short.

The errors will not harm your store.

Hi, I have this module installed [the last version that was posted], and it works perfectly when I manually add a customer. I am running 1.3.8a.

However, when I try to bulk upload, nothing at all happens - Nothing. I browse to my file, select it, and hit upload. The screen just refreshes and shows me a screen with just the .csv bulk import box and the link to see the Single Customer Form. I get this regardless of the Insert Mode that I choose, and get it even if I don't select a file at all and just hit upload...I just don't know why I don't get any errors at all - yet the manual customer creation works just fine.

Any ideas? I have a list of about 700 customers I need to import and would greatly appreciate any help! I am not sure what directoy it is trying to load the csv file to so I can check permissions on it...I use Easy Populate with no problem in my store, but had to configure a separate folder first.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!
