Thankyou lat9 - the mod worked perfectly!

Keep up the great work..

SLY Designs, the only reason that the "Add Customers" link wouldn't show on the Customers tab in your admin is if either (a) you didn't copy /includes/extra_datafiles/add_customers_filenames.php, /includes/functions/extra_functions/init_add_customers.php and /includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/add_customers_name.php into your admin directory or (b) you copied the /YOUR_ADMIN directory contents to your store's root directory without renaming /YOUR_ADMIN to match your admin's "secret name".

The install for the v1.5+ series happens automatically via /YOUR_ADMIN/includes/functions/extra_functions/init_add_customers.php, so those are the only two reasons that I can fathom for the tool not showing up in your admin toolbar.

Oh my, I am the biggest idiot ever, I've been moding stuff like this and VB etc for years, I can't believe I didn't pick it up, you were correct, I was uploading to the admin file not the renamed file, I wonder why I could never get any mods to work ....

I just dragged all the files into the renamed folder and tried it and it worked perfectly

Many thanks

v2.0.4 has been submitted to the plugins, containing the correction indicated in the previous post.

... it's now available for download ...

Just downloaded v2.04 and noted that the file init_add_customers.php appears twice in the downloaded file set:

/YOUR_ADMIN/includes/functions/extra_functions/init_add_customers.php

and

/YOUR_ADMIN/includes/functions/init_add_customers.php

Either I am missing something or the latter has been accidentally added to the package?

Cheers / Frank

You're right, Frank. I don't know how /YOUR_ADMIN/includes/init_add_customers.php crept into v2.0.4 ... but it's not used and won't be there on any future release.

I get a move permissions error on this. What file is this attempting to push the upload?

Also where can I insert the group pricing designation so that this can be bulk uploaded too?

Thanks for any help

I'm not sure what a "move permissions error" is. What browser are you using? The upload is checked in the check_file_upload function in /YOUR_ADMIN/add_customers_backend.php.

The group pricing can be specified via a column with a header value of customers_group_pricing.

OK thanks for the direction. I wasn't sure if it was loading into a folder and then posting to the db. I will look at the code and post what I do to fix it for future reference.

[JimmyV]

I added the group column and it's not loading that data and also not throwing an error. Any suggestion on that?

And the move error was requiring me to make admin a 777 while the upload was done. Just an FYI it likely depends on your environment if it throws that error.
