Additional Customers Fields

[TheOracle]

Ah ! so here we go. Those details should of had been mentionned over email as well with the rest of your infos.

Now, I have added your wholesale's ID field in your template. As for your error message, the reason why it was shown is because these two tpl files were not uploaded at the right place.

As for the $temp variable, leave it - it is not required since I just made the proper modifications within the create account template file for you (tpl_edit_account_default.php). This will be a useful example for you to follow for the rest of the created fields you will make as well as the account edit page's template file (tpl_account_edit_default.php file).

Note: These two files has been moved back into your GDS's template overrides with the rest of the TPL files (as they should be).

Starting from this point, you should be all set.

Would seem I misspelled a little bit here:

create account template file for you (tpl_edit_account_default.php).

I meant:

create account template file for you (tpl_create_account_default.php).

Hi!

I have been away for a few days so this morning I installed it again with limited success.

I think I've installed it correctly (well obviosuly not!!), as now when I go to:
Customers > Add Customer Fields I get the main page (before FF would simply tell me it was redirecting in a way that would never complete).

If I attempt to Create an Additional Customer Field I complete the fields, say: Member Number - Int - 6 - (Blank) - 000000 - warns me to back up and when I click Create it goes back to the main page of the module and shows:

Main Menu and then 3 choices under Main Menu / Create / Reset.

If I then go back to Customers > Add Customer Fields it tells me "There are currently no new additional customers fields created/imported into the listing table."

-----------------

Also, when I go to the main page of the catalog instead of saying `Welcome to My Store - Hello Guest ... ' it now just says `Additional Customer Fields - Hello Guest ...'

-----------------

I'm using:
MySQL: 4.1.12-standard
Zen: 1.3.7
PHP/4.4.3

Any ideas on whay may be wrong!

If you want to go in and have a look, let me know!!!

Thanks

If you want to go in and have a look, let me know!!!

Email all your FTP info, URL and secondary admin account for your admin section + a test account I can use for your site (make sure you do have a test account from your front-store before I investigate in order to speed up the process). I will take a look at it.

My email address can be found under the installation text file of the package.

Additional note: If you have installed the Admin Profiles MOD, make sure that the secondary admin account has full access during my session in the admin section.

Thanks - I have emailed the info to the gmail account in the install. I have not added the Admin Profiles Mod.

Thanks again

Investigation complete.

1 - Regarding the redirection issue. I have just tested with IE and FF as I cannot reproduce this problem on your own admin section. It's probably a browser issue from your end. I would recommend to clear out all your cookies, temp files and history files. Then, close your browser, re-open and try again.

2 - You are not using any modules overrides folders (which is not recommended due to upgrade issues). Read the wiki documentation on how to proceed with this step in order to keep your work safe.

3 - Your server has the speed equivalent to a 56k modem speed. For the saighs of your users, I wouldn't recommend to run a shopping cart (especially if you have numerous products to incorporate into the database) due to the limited capacity since I did encountered problems while uploading two files during my FTP session. I'd recommend to check out the hosting deals from this site. They might be a little bit high pricing, but they do seem to offer pretty good deals regarding Zen-Cart compatibilities + speed order process (which, both, are priorities for all your customers).

I have initiated the test_field under the tpl_edit_account_default.php file + activated that field under the admin section in order, for you, to understand how my conditions has been applied so that all additional customers fields loads accordingly to your restriction levels (activated / deactivated as it should). That said, you can easily do the same for the rest of all the fields you might want to add as easy it will be for you to do the same over the tpl_create_account_default.php file for the customer's registration account form.

Correction:

tpl_create_account_default.php file = tpl_modules_create_account.php file for customizing the fields regarding registration account (fortunitely, that filename is also stated correctly from my package - the error name was just in here).

My mistake.

Good luck !

Thank you for that, I do appreciate it!

This issure has not occured since my original install so I obviously did something to cause it!

I am in Australia and the store is also and for some reason it runs quite well here. The cart is for a customer so I'm stuck with this hosting (as it's a year contract). I do know what you mean about speed though as my monitoring script (for downtime) checks from the US and EU and it is abysmal responses especially from EU for some reason. In Australia though the pages come up immediately and FTP is the fastest I've seen.

Weird that it would be so different though, thanks fr mentioning it!

Thank You! I will study it and see if I can understand it maybe maybe !

Thanks again!

Hi!

One last question - what would be causing the `Additional Customers Fields' heading to come up at the top of each page, ie: `Home Page' - `All Products List' etc etc.



Thanks
Ernie

esugrue - `Additional Customers Fields' heading to come up at the top of each page because of the file
includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\additional_customers_fields.php and line
-------------
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Additional Customers Fields');
-------------
That's because you defined global HEADING_TITLE as ''.

TheOracle - Yes,i can activate and deactivate the custom fields, the only problem remain is when i want to delete a custom field, it isn't deleted from customers table in mysql and i have to delete it myself.
