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

[DrByte]

If it's the settings under the Configuration menu that you're looking for, then those will only appear if you've run the install sql file. (But don't run it again repeatedly else it will wipe out any data you've already collected.)

If it's the menu option for the reporting screen or for editing the referral source "choices", then read on:
For v1.3.x, the menu is driven by the files in the /your-renamed-admin/includes/boxes/extra_boxes/ folder. If you didn't upload the file for that folder, then the menu options won't show.
For v1.5.0, the menu settings will be automatically installed as long as you load the /your-renamed-admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/ files.

Of course, both versions require that ALL the files in the plugin be uploaded to their respective locations. So really, targeting specific files is moot. If you're missing files from the correct locations, you need to fix them. That's a pretty basic factor with anything on a website.

First THANK YOU for the upgrade! I just installed it and I am getting an error on the create account screen...I have narrowed it down to this piece of code in the modules/create_account.php file:

//rmh referral start
$sql= "insert into " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS_INFO . " (customers_info_id, customers_info_number_of_logons, customers_info_date_account_created, customers_info_date_of_last_logon, customers_info_source_id) values ('" . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "', '0', now(), now(), '". (int)$source . "')";
$db->Execute($sql);

if ($source == '9999') {

zen_db_perform(TABLE_SOURCES_OTHER, array('customers_id' => $_SESSION['customer_id'], 'sources_other_name' => $source_other));

}

//rmh referral end

--------------------------------

and this is the error I am getting - I am not quite sure what all this means or what to do here?....

Referrals don't show in my Customers record.

I've installed the module and it works. I can see totals for referral sources in Reports -> Referral Sources Report

However, when I look at individual customers in Customers -> Customers, the referral source is not listed.

Is it supposed to be? If not, can it be added?

[devyani]

I guess this is how its supposed to be , as even i am not getting it in the customers list.

[devyani]

I want to add the referral source in the "office use section" of the mail i get when a new account gets created.
How do i do that ? I though if i figure out which variable stores this information, i can edit email_extras.php and add that there.
Please help

Thanks

Using ZenCart 1.5.3. Installed v150. On customer log in page it shows the DEFINE statements rather than the results. Have triple checked files uploaded to correct locations. In Admin area am able to modify the sources and can see the report on screen. Any pointers please?

I am a twit. Official. Uploaded an Admin file to Includes.

Any chance this will be made compatible with 1.5.4 soon?

I upgraded a site from 1.3.9 to 1.5.3 a while back. Also upgraded the How Did You Hear About Us module to v.150. Just discovered that the module no longer records the new customer info under Reports->Referral Sources. Only older stats are there. No new stats are being added. Also missing: the controls in Admin->Configuration->Customer Details. And wondering like others here why I see no referral info under Customers->Customer. My clients says that info used to be there. Does this module (v.150) *work* in Zen Cart 1.5.3??
