Customer Authorization Status Question??

[DrByte]

So this feature def doesnt work yet?

You could hack it in by yourself if you like. It'll be a bit different in the core when it's released, but you could try it this way:

/admin/customers.php
around line 35 you have:

      case 'status':
        if ($_GET['current'] == CUSTOMERS_APPROVAL_AUTHORIZATION) {
          $sql = "update " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " set customers_authorization=0 where customers_id='" . $_GET['cID'] . "'";
        } else {
          $sql = "update " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " set customers_authorization='" . CUSTOMERS_APPROVAL_AUTHORIZATION . "' where customers_id='" . $_GET['cID'] . "'";
        }
        $db->Execute($sql);
        $action = '';
        zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_CUSTOMERS, 'cID=' . $_GET['cID'] . '&page=' . $_GET['page'], 'NONSSL'));
        break; 

change it to:

      case 'status':
  $customers_id = zen_db_prepare_input($_GET['cID']);
        if ($_GET['current'] == CUSTOMERS_APPROVAL_AUTHORIZATION) {
          $sql = "update " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " set customers_authorization=0 where customers_id='" . (int)$customers_id . "'";
        } else {
          $custinfo = $db->Execute("select customers_email_address, customers_firstname, customers_lastname
                                    from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . "
                                    where customers_id = '" . (int)$customers_id . "'");
          if ($custinfo->RecordCount() > 0) {
            $message = EMAIL_CUSTOMER_STATUS_CHANGE_MESSAGE;
            $html_msg['EMAIL_MESSAGE_HTML'] = EMAIL_CUSTOMER_STATUS_CHANGE_MESSAGE ;
            zen_mail($custinfo->fields['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $custinfo->fields['customers_lastname'], $custinfo->fields['customers_email_address'], EMAIL_CUSTOMER_STATUS_CHANGE_SUBJECT , $message, STORE_NAME, EMAIL_FROM, $html_msg, 'default');
          }
          $sql = "update " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " set customers_authorization='" . CUSTOMERS_APPROVAL_AUTHORIZATION . "' where customers_id='" . $customers_id . "'";
        }
        $db->Execute($sql);
        $action = '';
        zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_CUSTOMERS, 'cID=' . (int)$customers_id . '&page=' . $_GET['page'], 'NONSSL'));
        break; 

in /admin/includes/languages/english/customers.php
add these to the bottom of the file, before the closing ?>

define('EMAIL_CUSTOMER_STATUS_CHANGE_MESSAGE', 'Your customer status has been updated. Thank you for shopping with us. We look forward to your business.');
define('EMAIL_CUSTOMER_STATUS_CHANGE_SUBJECT', 'Customer Status Updated');
