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

[gogolf]

Hey gogolf I'm confused myself!
My issues are when a customer registers and chooses a referral, it shows up in Admin, Customer, Referred as "None" each time. And if I check out referrals from within Admin, it shows not what the customer entered but "Other" instead.

Thanks,

Robyn

I'm clueless on the Zen application, php, sql, etc. I feel like I'm hacking a ball down a course I never played, in the dark, and though the fellow Zenner's who have played this course are trying their best to help the words just seem like crickets echoing in the back ground.

Maybe this might help you. If you go back to the beginning of this this thread you'll see the common errors that pop up related to making the sql changes to the database and the referral not appearing in admin.

I have yet to figure out why the sql patch does not install cleanly for me and others vs. others. I think that that problem relates to possibly a field or table already existing and/or simply syntax.

With regard to the field or table not being updated I found that putting a file in my "custom" folder worked for me.

I would suggest looking at your database and see if the values needed to post the referral names are listed there.

I think my problems with this mod are part my own (not understanding the Zen application and its languages) and simply the need for a better documentation with the mod.

I found the solution to get it to work for me required me to read all the posts to this thread again and again. Simply a lot of extra strokes.
