Minimum Customer Account Information - Support Thread

[picandnix]

ok I give up...

I have installed (locally) this excellent mod as it's exactly what I will be needing once live.
However when I create an account/attempt test purchases when I click on confirm I get the warning:

Update Address Book Entry
Error Sorry, but we no longer accept billing or shipping addresses in . Please update this address to continue.

I have triple checked that I have the file/folder structure correct. All my prods are virtual and I have set my store in accordance with your readme.

Could you give me a few pointers please, perhaps how/where/with which file(s) the mod notifies the database that no further details are required before purchasing.

thank you in advance.

Thanks. There were about 5 or so folders I had to rename to the template name. All looking good now. THANKS!

What payment processor are you using? When I submitted your error message to my admin's "Developers Tool Kit" I didn't get any matches.

Thank you for looking into it for me.
I've tried COD, check, PayPal express but still get same results.
I'll put same into my tool kit a mo and post back...

Aha...
that warning message comes from a certain mod called Selectable Countries
why would I have that mod in a store being used for downloads you ask? I am using a base installation of ZC that I installed the general mods I planned to use before I decided to go down the road of download only.

Do you think there could be a fix or should I just uninstall Selectable Countries and hope that resolves?
Thank you again

Well, since I "own" that one too ... I'll give it a look.

Here you go ... I'll update the Selectable Countries to contain these changes to /includes/init_includes/init_country_check.php:

<?php
/*-----
** Add flag, either 'true' or 'false' to indicate whether or not a country is included for the store's customer addresses.
*/
if (!defined('ACCOUNT_COUNTRY')) define('ACCOUNT_COUNTRY', 'true');

/*-----
** If a customer is logged in, check to see that the customers' address(es) still contain valid countries.
** If not, redirect to the address-book page for changes.
*/
if (ACCOUNT_COUNTRY == 'true' && $_SESSION['customer_id'] && $_GET['main_page'] != FILENAME_ADDRESS_BOOK_PROCESS && $_GET['main_page'] != FILENAME_LOGOFF) {
  $addresses_query = "SELECT address_book_id, entry_country_id as country_id, entry_firstname as firstname, entry_lastname as lastname
                      FROM   " . TABLE_ADDRESS_BOOK . "
                      WHERE  customers_id = :customersID
                      ORDER BY firstname, lastname";

  $addresses_query = $db->bindVars($addresses_query, ':customersID', $_SESSION['customer_id'], 'integer');
  $addresses = $db->Execute($addresses_query);
  
  while (!$addresses->EOF) {
    if (!is_country_active ($addresses->fields['country_id'])) {
      $messageStack->add_session('addressbook', sprintf(SELECTABLE_COUNTRIES_UPDATE, get_country_name($addresses->fields['country_id'])), 'error');
      zen_redirect (zen_href_link(FILENAME_ADDRESS_BOOK_PROCESS, 'edit=' . $addresses->fields['address_book_id'], 'SSL'));
    }
    $addresses->MoveNext();
  }
}
?>

For your case, you'd want to set the define's value to 'false'. I'll also make a future update to "Minimum Customer Account Information" to use the same define to control whether/not the country dropdown is required for the customer's account.

You are a star Cindy, thank you so much, I will give that a go later. At last I'll be able to close the laptop without huffing

[picandnix]

Perfect!
Thank you so much

[picandnix]

I'm back...
all is well with this mod, thank you very much. However I have also installed phpBB notifier hook mod to the same test store, all works well thank you as new customers do generate forum accounts too as per your design.

My question, is it possible to offer the nick name field as optional rather than required, as I'm sure that not all customers will want to join the store's forum by default.
Thank you.
