How Did You Hear About Us? Referrals Mod [Support Thread]

[mydanilo]

Yes I did. What other mods do you have installed? Maybe order editor? Some mods need to be merged.

customers.php might be the one...

Hello. Report problem. I cant tell how many customers came from sources other than 'other'? Where am I supposed to see how many were referred from Google or MSN or my custom fields? I am not using referral codes, just the drop down.

I must be missing something obvious.

Thank you

Found the answer post 221 in this thread.... put the create_account.php in override template folder.... that did the trick..

Thanks

Ok I am having difficulty getting the drop down to display the different referral options in Create Account. I am not sure where all the switches are to get this enabled. I am using 1.3.7

I do have the following switches set:

Admin/Config/My Store - Display "Other" Referral option TRUE
Admin/Config/Customer Details - Require Referral TRUE
Admin/Config/Customer Details - Customers Referral Status 2

Thanks Much in Advance.

This solved my problem at least with the test account I just created. The problem I had was the referral source selected at time of creating an account was NOT showing in admin. I made sure I had the above switches to that, did a test account and referral source there!

Where is the download link for this "Referral' mod? I've read the 24 pages here and can't find where to download.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to get this addon to give a javascript error if someone misses to fill this out while they are trying to create an account? At the moment if you do not fill in the 'how did you hear about us?' and click submit then the page refreshes with an error message. However, if you use javascript then the page does not need to refresh the error message just pops up.

I manage to do some of the work for the java script error as follows:

1. First install How did you hear about us add on (if you are unsure about where the download link is for this see 2 posts up)

2. Then find

/includes/languages/YOURTEMPLATE/english.php

Search for:
define('ENTRY_REFERENCE_FROM', 'How did you hear about us?');

…right after that line enter the following…

define('ENTRY_REFERENCE_FROM_ERROR', 'You must select a choice from How did you hear about us? pull down menu.');

3. Then find
/includes/modules/pages/create_account/jscript_form_check.php

Search for:

check_select("country", "", "<?php echo ENTRY_COUNTRY_ERROR; ?>");

…right after that line enter the following…

check_select("source", "", "<?php echo ENTRY_REFERENCE_FROM_ERROR; ?>");

That should give a java script error for the dropdown menu itself.

However, I need some help to do a javascript error if someone chooses the "other" option from the how did you hear about us drop down menu but leaves the "other" field underneath blank. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does this mod add the referral info to the confirmation email when a customer orders?

[zepher]

Looks like no need of the sources on the order email, because of the 'referral sources' page. I'm now wondering how to sort the refferals, by month, year, day, etc. Doesn't look like it's built in.. Maybe a feature request or Mod-of-Mod option.. Modification works great, was exactly what I needed. Be nice to do more detailed 'reports' or have more options on the 'referral sources' page. Thanks!
