Add Customers from admin addon

[mprough]

I haven't had any issues... Have it running on 6 stores currently all 1.3.8a

The line for the error is Gender....

Even if its not being used in the store, it must be uploaded in the CSV

This is part of the original script... Not the upload addition... You might try commenting out the function in add_customers_backend.php

	if (ACCOUNT_GENDER == 'true') {
		if (!in_array(array('m','f'), substr(strtolower($entry_gender), 0, 1))) {
			$errors[] = 'Gender not recognised. Expected "m" or "f", got: ' . $entry_gender;
		}
		$sql_data_array['entry_gender'] = $entry_gender;
	}

Difficult for me to troubleshoot as I am having no errors.

Melanie,

Thanks for that! Error disappeared with the fix.
Still not able to bulk upload.

I've checked the .csv I created, all appears correct, but you know how it goes, you can look at somethiing 100 times and miss the obvious.

I emailed my .csv file to you for your review. (It's a small test file, only two customers!)

Thanks,

Tina

I did not comment out the Gender issue as I believe it to be store specific.

However, I took the bug fixes down below and added them and resubmitted the contrib...

Looked at your CSV and uploaded it w/o error to my store... Second customer was not added as no name was present... Some info is required.

You successfully received welcome?



Select Part (Insert valid lines)

it will then ignore any inherent errors. I deleted the customer file no worries.

Also, the #1 address field was correctly imported to the correct spot in your customer record.

Still not working on my end.

Maybe there is a hosting specific problem.. I didn't write the existing module, we only added the ability to bulk upload.

Sorry, I really don't know except I am able to use it successfully.

I would be willing to have our contract programmers look in to it, except 2.0 is due soon and it seems rather pointless.

You have php 4x? and is it running as a cgi? this would be the most common incompatibility I can think of.

Ok - so my little brain was processing ALL the possibilities and I deduced that the program I used to create the .csv may be the culprit ~ so i created a .csv with excel, did an upload and EUREKA! Success (sort of)
See attached for error.



error: reads: admin error line 377 (same as before)

Thanks for all your time looking at this!

The errors are exactly what they say they are..... Last name is required.

Zones must be defined.

and it will not overwrite an existing customer file

Try this if you didn't when uploading Select Part (Insert valid lines)
The gender issue has to be store specific.... Maybe an admin can comment on its use/non-use?

Cheers,

Yes, I can live with the errors - other than the line 377 error - let me see if the fix earlier suggested for that error works on it.

Thanks again for all your help!

Hi all,
Ive read all the thread, tested the files and the fixes on a test site - all like the good noob I strive to be, with this outcome:

All works absolutely fine with the exception of:
1. array error (gender backend php)
2. Company field omits and replaced by first line of address.

Line 2). I can deal with by manually editing the fields once the customer has been created so not a prob but.....

Line 1). - All I need to know is Is this error OK to live with?? Am I gonna break anything if I put the mod on my live site? Is there a newer version due soon (preferable)?

Dont think for one minute that I dont love you guys and gals for all the effort and design cos I do.

Thank you.
Nick.

1. array error (gender backend php)

This is a store specific thing.... Read down below and comment it out.

2. Company field omits and replaced by first line of address.

This exists in the orig module only.... When using the bulk upload that we added the company is inserted fine. I need to fix that, but time is short.

The errors will not harm your store.
