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

>However, in the case of v158, it would have been nice to be warned in some way of the many additional pitfalls...

IMHO this is a definite use-case for the hated <blink> tag, to point out in big flashing text in no uncertain terms that trying to integrate ZC158 into an existing shop as an "upgrade" is just not a feasible option/the path of madness. There are too many changes and will introduce multiple break points with mods.

Users should take a new ZC158, import and upgrade their real database and then sequentially add their mods one by one, fixing, fettling and learning along the way.

This module is working ok for me on 158a after a small change to add_customers.php
Line 395 replace zen_get_countries() with zen_get_countries_for_admin_pulldown()

You will have a blank dropdown if you don't make this edit.

I should point out that the site where it's used isn't using States and looking at the code for that I suspect it may need updating too.

Thanks for the update. I've not updated this in many years since I don't have clients who use it.

I tested it on a site using states and it does indeed ned further edits else it stops loading after the states label.

As you haven't had any need to update it I will put together an update and submit it to ZC plugins if that's ok with you @lat9

I'd prefer that you PR the changes to https://github.com/lat9/add_customers_from_admin so that we don't wind up with multiple sources for the plugin's files.

Is this plugin compatible in 1.5.8?

Nope, last updated for v1.5.7.

I need to move all customer data from one website to another. When I say customer data, I am referring to address book, previous orders, login info, etc.

I have in the past exported the data via phpmyAdmin one table at a time, which is fine, but a bit time consuming. Can you tell me if this plugin is intended to do the same thing? Looks like it may be a moot point since it's not working with 1.5.8a, according to the last comment, but was hoping there may be another suggested direction.
Thank you so much.

This plugin simply addresses customer information (i.e. the base customers-table record and any address-book entries). I'll note that it can be very dangerous to also capture previous orders into a pre-existing database.
