Add Customers from admin addon

[JTheed]

Installed this module and all is fine except the following which I need help:
If you try to amend anything in options in admin/customers it will only remember the original that was setup in your module.
So for example if there is a group discount of 10% when customer is setup and you want to change this you can't without deleting the customer first and then re-enter all his details again with the new discount.

What version of ZenCart are you running? You should be able to add a customer with this mod and then EDIT it with the existing Edit Module on the Customers screen.

Hi,
Thanks for this mod, its working great.
One thing i would like to know is using the custom field i created for my registration page.
I've managed to get the field to show in the add_customer.php file but when the customer is added and i go to edit the customer in the admin panel the custom field shows up blank and the data has not been added to the database.
I followed the instructions for adding the custom field to the registration page (by exchanging customers.php for add_customers_backend.php). From what i can understand the code to add to the database is the same but there are a few differences between the files.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

You added a custom field to your registration page and also added a Database field in your customer table for this custom field?

If the field shows up, did you also add it to the customers.php file in the admin folder?

Are you having the sql query pick up your new field when it does the select?

I've been trying to figure this out for a while. Right now, what you type in the input field for the state gets put in the address_book table under the column entry_state, and the zone_id get filled in as zero. Problem is that the zone_id is where Zen looks for the taxes to be calculated from, hence everyone manually entered is not being charged taxes (and apparently the correct freight). The person in post # 119 changed the country to the drop down list using Zen's codes. I've tried following what they did, changing the names of the tables and columns according, but it doesn't work (big shock for me). I know it has to do with this section in the add_customers.php file:

    if (ACCOUNT_STATE == 'true') {

        echo '<tr>
            <td class="main">' . ENTRY_STATE . '</td>
            <td class="main">';

        $entry_state = zen_get_zone_name($cInfo->entry_country_id, $cInfo->entry_zone_id, $cInfo->entry_state);

        echo zen_draw_input_field('entry_state', zen_get_zone_name($cInfo->entry_country_id, $cInfo->entry_zone_id, $cInfo->entry_state)).'(Full Name)';
    }

Can anyone work this out? I'm sure it's a super speedy fix, but it would make my life so much easier since orders keep going through without taxes, so I am either loosing money cause I've missed it or having to manually adjust things.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this and have found this forum extremely helpful and educational. It almost always points me in the right direction and I'm making progress in my customization abilities daily. I am using ZC 1.3.9d and downloaded both "add customer from admin 1.07 and "encrypted master password 1.2" because I do many face to face transactions and wanted to be able to set up a customers account on the spot and use it as a substitute POS system. The issue with acfa not entering a zone in entry_zone_id in table zen_address_book makes this addon useless for states that have a sales tax and for shipping calculations. If you have encrypted master password installed you can use it as a temporary fix for now by logging into the customers account and updating the state field under change entries in my address book. If you used acfa to create the account you'll notice that the state/province field is blank. Use the dropdown to enter a state, click update, and voila.....the database gets updated with the correct zone and the full state name from acfa is removed in the database.
The state entry in acfa serves no function whatsoever but placing the full state name in the entry_state field in the database. Customer created accounts have no entry in this field. So I now understand what the problem is and have the logic figured out. I should be able to have a fix including a dropdown this week sometime. I'm not a professional but I will make sure it's functional and tested before I post the fix. Aside from this one shortfall this addon is perfect for my needs. In the meantime install encrypted master password 1.2 and just update the state from the customers account. A pain, but it works.

ZenCart 1.3.9c
PHP 5.2
etc.

Does anyone know if this works on PHP 5.x, and 1.3.9c or d?

Tried this and when I look at the instruction sheet in the dropdown of adding customers, it's a 404 permissions error.

Thanks

Hi Theed

I am running on 1.3.8a and still not able to amend any Options in Customers admin.

Any help how to cure this will be great.

rclakeman,

Just wondering if there was any update on this. I run a local delivery business, and was pulling my hair out because it would charge tax on taxable items for certain customers. I finally figured out it was customers we had added from acfa, and I can go into the customer's acct from admin and just change it, and it works.

Thanks for the post on the details of the problem.

Hello,
I am using zen cart version 1.3.9. I recently imported 6000+ customers from another type of cart and I am having about 1 out of 50 customers randomly run into the sorry we are not shipping to your region error. When we look at the address it looks fine. When we manually edit the address and save it exactly as it was from admin or from the customer end, the error does not come back up. I am shipping using UPS and USPS based on region and offer one item out of 9 with free shipping. The error occurs with or with out the free shipping item in the cart. I have searched the faq area and the forum for answers but none of the posts, for the sorry we don't ship to your region error, have been fixed by re-entering the address exactly as it was. I am assuming the import may have imported some fields from the old system as "Texas " as opposed to just "Texas" (without space). Is there an easy way to spin through the 6000 customer states to see if there is an extra space at the end of the field? maybe a script that could truncate all the spaces in that field?

Thanks
Craig

I have found a temporary solution by removing a UPS shipping restriction and opening and closing all the USPS shipping zone customers. Any advice would be great.
Thanks

I have tried to install this addon for 1.3.8 to my 1.3.9f cart and it appears to be working but when I click to submit either a manually entered customer or to upload the csv file it boots me out of admin so I have to login again to find that the customer has not been added. Do you know what must be done to the addon to make it work with 1.3.9f? I am not a programmer but can do find and replace type tasks and install mods with some proficiency. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Dewey

Umm... I've installed this and found it very good and useful, exactly what I'm looking for......

But why is there no option to enter a password for the customer? I can add customers, sure, but how will they log in without a password? I'm supposed to be creating login accounts for all my customers but I can't if I can't allocate them password as well....
