stellarweb, any way to make these fields non-mandatory?

Thanks,

Please let me know if you were able to get the referrals to finally appear in the admin/customers after you have tried putting the create_account.php in your includes/modules/"custom" (folder)


thank you.

In the admin panel go to configuration->customer details and you will see "require referral". Set that to false and you are all set.

Yes, it's there in the customers section in between "account created" and "last login".

The only file I put into an override folder was the template file. I had to merge both the modules/create_account.php and the template file in includes and admin/customers.php and admin/orders.php as well as admin/includes/languages/english/customers.php. It can be a little tricky merging, I use examdiff pro - a free program that I think is available from Sourceforge, because sometimes the lines of code don't match up from file to file since there are other code snippets in one if you have modified it for another mod. This one was pretty easy because it was well commented. Basically you are looking in the new file for the snippets that are for that particular mod, so for this you are looking for //rmh referral start and copy until //rmh referral end.

I hope this helps you to get it working.

hello,

Couyld anyone help me with this problem? Thank you!!!

I followed everything step to install the "how do you hear from us" module. Everthing looks fine except I cannot find the "how do you hear from us" box?

I didn't see it in the register page. Did I miss anything?

By the way, the site is :http://www.loveinrose.com/index.php?...create_account

Gogolf, Tatiana, & others, I just wanted to report back in that I was able to get it working. My problem was that everything seemed fine except that the data was not getting posted to the db. The only thing I did to get it to work is to start over from scratch and repaste the code from the mod into my files.

At one point, I had made the same mistake you are discussing that I had a create_account.php in includes\modules\custom\ but I had pasted the mod code into includes\modules\. After I fixed that mistake, it still wasn't working (I think). Then I did my "do-over" and it worked. Sooo... my original mistake MAY have been a reason it wasn't working, but I really can't pinpoint why it was not working before and now is. I'm just thanking my lucky stars it's working. I'm pulling for you guys too... I know how frustrating it is.

Lina, it should be showing up in the create_account page.... 2 thoughts: 1) did you paste the mod code into the tpl_modules_create_account.php file in your includes\templates\your_template\templates folder? 2) I can't remember if there is an admin setting to turn on the feature (I don't think so), but I remember there are a few different places across admin for this mod's settings (if I recall correctly).

LankeeYankee - Works, thanks!

MyGreyGoose/Gogolf/Stellarweb - It's working for me, thankfully!

Please see my last post...

(Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CASE in /home/aaadi3/public_html/admin/orders.php on line 195)

I got the same error when I was looking at my admin/orders however not being a "expert" with this mod I looked at the version of orders.php that comes with the new 1.3.7, that version is June 25, 2007 and the version that came with mod is December 28, 2006. If you you a file compare program you will see the differences in the two versions.

I'm guessing the error message we saw is a syntax as stated. I have not explored it, maybe something like a forgotten "}" bracket, but then again I'm the few who has problems with this mod.

I'm trying to see what effect having the original orders.php file has with this mod so I loaded the later version (that came with 1.3.7) back on my server to see which way it goes .... "hook or slice".
