Admin New Customer [Support Thread]

FYI - The birth date was always adding as 2036-11-30 00:00:00 (showing at 11/20/2036). To remedy this, around line 311 where you assign the dob to the query I change this:
'customers_dob' => $cInfo->customers_dob,
to
'customers_dob' => zen_date_raw($cInfo->customers_dob),
and that seemed to fix it.

How can I setup password for new customer created with thismode?

How can I setup password for new customer created with thismode?

One cannot. Instead one uses Zen Cart's "password forgotten" link (you can enter the customer's email address for them). This will send the customer a "temporary" password to their email account and when they sign into the account Zen Cart will let them choose a new password.

This was done on purpose to avoid someone other than the customer knowing the customer's password. As only the customer knows their password, this avoids any potential issue(s) which may arise.

I have a problem that seems to be present with the mod. When I enter the customer billing and shipping address. Both addresses go into the database however the Company name that is entered on top for the shipping does not go into the billing address company field. Can this be changed so a company name also goes into the billing address. Or even add another company name field for the billing address?

[lhungil]

Yes and yes.

To simply add the company name to both address entries change "/admin/new_customer.php" around line 354 from:

					'entry_firstname' => $cInfo->billing_firstname,
					'entry_lastname' => $cInfo->billing_lastname,
					'entry_street_address' => $cInfo->billing_street_address,

to:

					'entry_firstname' => $cInfo->billing_firstname,
					'entry_lastname' => $cInfo->billing_lastname,
					'entry_company' => $cInfo->entry_company,
					'entry_street_address' => $cInfo->billing_street_address,

Adding a second field to add a different company name for the billing address is a little more work, but could be done as well.

Thanks Ihungil,
Thank you for the very fast response!! I will give that a shot, that will definitly eliminate a lot of redundant address company name editing on our end. Thank you! If I could throw the extra field option in a feature request that would be great which we could use for companies that wish to do blind dropships from a zencart store or have seperate supply company or branch that does all there ordering for them. That would be handy to eliminate going in and changing it before we do the checkout each time for them. Not a big deal but thought I would throw that out there.

Will this version work with zencart 1.3.9.

Hi, everyone. I'm a brand noob user of Zen Cart. I'm trying to see if this software can be a solution for a customer of mine. I think it can with this plug in and a couple of others.

I have Zen Cart 1.5.3 installed. This plugin looks like it will do what I need to do, but it doesn't mention 1.5.3. It stops at 1.5.1. As I said I'm not too familiar with Zen Cart so it could be that 1.5.1 and 1.5.3 and practically identical except for small changes, but I don't know for sure.

Can anyone tell me if this plug in is compatible with ZC 1.5.3? If so are there any mods that I need to worry about?

Thanks so much.

Mark

Wow, no one. Ok. Moving on to find something else.

[lhungil]

As far as I know it "should" work (I've only tested up to Zen Cart 1.5.2 RC2). Best way to find out is try on a test site (and report back).
