Add Customers from Admin 2.0 (1.5.0 and later) [Support Thread]

[lat9]

I've submitted v2.0.5 to the plugins area (http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1477) to correct the issues that JimmyV reported; it should be available shortly.

Totally Awesome! It works flawlessly for loading huge numbers of clients. Having the added group column makes life even easier.

Might I suggest adding multiple additional shipto's? Just a thought as it's probably right there and more columns is always better than less :)

Thanks very much to Lat9 for a immediate solution to my problem!

The group pricing is the group_id number from your db which may or may not be the same as your group pricing designation. Once you realize that this upload method works perfectly.

Quick question about adding people using this plugin. You mention the option to Re-send the welcome email for anyone who has not already logged into your store. Does that mean you would be entering in people who have already created accounts on your site? If so, how does the plugin handle existing accounts and which field is the criteria for whether the account is unique or not? This is my first Zen-cart (or any cart for that matter) and I'm still trying to get a grasp of the whole thing. Thanks for your help.

I'm "pretty sure" that when a person creates an account that their login count gets set to one, so the only time a welcome-email would be resent is when you've added a customer (and the login count is set to 0). An email address is the "key" to a unique account in the Zen Cart structure.

If you've installed it correctly, there will be a new menu item in your admin: Customers->Add Customer

No I will have to check and see what I have missed.

You might have experienced a hiccup when you uploaded the files; make sure that you renamed the YOUR_ADMIN folder to match your custom admin folder name.
