Admin New Customer 1.0RC1 for Zen Cart 1.5.0

Plugin / Add-On Details
This plugin adds the ability for administrative users to add new customers to Zen Cart from the administrative interface. The interface blends into the existing customer management page with the addition of a single "insert" button.

• Can add a new customer with shipping address
• Can optionally add a billing address for the new customer
• Client-Side Javascript and Server-Side PHP customer validation
• Verifies new customer information against configured Zen Cart restrictions
• Includes support for address dropdowns
• Sends an admin alert email when a new customer is added
• Can restrict via Admin Profiles

Status
I've attached Release Candidate 1 to this thread. Looking for people to test current version.

Disclaimer
As with all Zen Cart Plugins / Add-Ons you should first TEST the changes on a non-production site. It is recommended to backup your entire Zen Cart installation and database prior to installing.

Version 1.0 of "Admin New Customer" is now available in the plugins section: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1501.

The only change from RC1 were some slight improvements in the installation scripts.

Affected Environments
Those using country / state drop down menus. Currently the state field will not be added to the addresses in the database.

Patch Details
Edit "new_customer.php" starting on line 84 change:

	$cInfo->entry_lastname = $cInfo->customers_lastname;
}

to:

	$cInfo->entry_lastname = $cInfo->customers_lastname;

	// Handle state dropdowns if needed
	if(zen_not_null($_POST['entry_zone_id']) && $_POST['entry_zone_id'] != 0) {
		$cInfo->entry_state = zen_get_zone_name($_POST['entry_country_id'], $_POST['entry_zone_id'], 0);
	}
	if(zen_not_null($_POST['billing_zone_id']) && $_POST['billing_zone_id'] != 0) {
		$cInfo->billing_state = zen_get_zone_name($_POST['billing_country_id'], $_POST['billing_zone_id'], 0);
	}
}

Notes
This patch will be added to the next release.

Hi lhungil,
Thanks for writing the Mod! I like being able to add the two addresses at once. But I also found one additional bug that seems to be present with it. With the last few lines changed in this thread that works, however one thing that seems to happen is when a customer goes to edit any address made initially with this mod it always causes you to have to reenter the State again. It looks like the mod does not write to the entry Zone ID field only entry_state field until you update it then the fields switch. Wish I could be of more help but I do not understand PHP code to figure out what is going on.

Also one other thing I am not sure is possible but would it be possible to also have an additional Company field for each address?

Thanks
Jamey

... It looks like the mod does not write to the entry Zone ID field only entry_state field until you update it then the fields switch. Wish I could be of more help but I do not understand PHP code to figure out what is going on...

I can confirm this - the problem is some misspellings in one of the files. There is a BETA release of version 1.2 available which corrects all known bugs since version 1.1 and improved installation, removal, and a couple other enhancements.

BETA Testers are welcome. To join the BETA test, simply send me a private message requesting to be involved and I'll invite you to the BETA.

Hello

I have zen cart 1.5.1. I had trouble installing your module. I uploaded the files and now I get a blank page when I try to login into the admin. Can you please provide some help?

[lhungil]

I am getting a blank page

Follow the instructions in that article and post your debug files if any.

A new version of Admin New Customer is now available from the Zen Cart plugin repository. This version features a new install / upgrade / removal process, a more detailed readme, and will no longer load duplicate zen cart functions.
