How Did You Hear About Us? Referrals Mod [Support Thread]

[irishshopper]

Greetings from Ireland. We are trying to get the How Did You Hear About Us ADD ON working on our site www.irishshopper.com. We installed it as per instructions and everything appears 100% in the Control Panel and we successfully added in a number of extra options in the Source Menu. When you go to the site whoever no new field appears asking the new customer how they found the site but whenever you click SUBMIT you get an error message stating you did not complete the field with an answer re how you heard about the site. So it knows about the field/question but isnt showing it on screen. I have this turned off now but can turn it back on if you want to look at it.

THANK YOU.

I'm using zen cart 1.3.9d with COWOA. I installed how_did_you_hear_about_us_v139a and it does work as intended. My question/problem is getting it working with COWOA which makes up about half of the checkouts in my cart.

Does anyone have how did you hear about us working with COWOA and if so what files did you work with to get it working?

I have tried copy paste of this rmh referral code

<!-- //rmh referral start -->
 <fieldset>

<legend><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_REFERRAL_DETAILS; ?></legend>
<!--<?php echo zen_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?> -->
<!-- <?php echo CATEGORY_SOURCE; ?> -->
<label class="inputLabel" for="source" ><?php echo ENTRY_SOURCE; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_get_source_list('source', (DISPLAY_REFERRAL_OTHER == 'true' ? true : false)) . '&nbsp;' . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_SOURCE_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_SOURCE_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

<?php
 if (DISPLAY_REFERRAL_OTHER == 'true') {
?>
<label class="inputLabel" for="source_other" ><?php echo ENTRY_SOURCE_OTHER; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('source_other', '', 'id="sources_other_name"') .  (zen_not_null(ENTRY_SOURCE_OTHER_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_SOURCE_OTHER_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

</fieldset>
<?php
}
?>
<!-- //rmh referral end -->

from

/includes/templates/custom/templates/tpl_modules_create_account.php

into

/includes/templates/custom/templates/tpl_no_account_default.php


The input field showed up on the no account checkout form but when the info is entered the referral does not show up in admin/customers/customers


I also pasted the code into

/includes/templates/custom/templates/tpl_modules_no_account.php

the same happens as above. The info doesn't show up in admin.


What am I missing?

ok I been playing around with it some more and now I think I've got it. The referral input area is displaying on the COWOA form and the referral is making it into admin > customers > customers

So far looks good unless something yet to be discovered was adversely affected by my edits.

The 2 files I edited were

includes/templates/custom/templates/tpl_modules_no_account.php

with rmh code from

includes/templates/custom/templates/tpl_modules_create_account.php

and

/includes/modules/no_account.php

with rmh code from

/includes/modules/create_account.php

The /includes/modules/no_account.php was trickier because it's not at first obvious what needs to be changed.
