"Add Customers From Admin" mod

I have recently installed this mod and when I did a test creating a new account, I did not receive the welcome email even tho I checked the box when I was creating my account. What steps can I take to fix this?

hello blackwolf

I also recently installed this mod and have the same result. Did you get an answer to your question?

If you wanna add new customers, you should create a customer account as you would be a customer of your wesbite. If it is "too slow" for you to sign up this way, most customers probably think the same way and dont want to sign up to buy from you.

What version of the mod did you install?
I just installed the mod that bunyip updated (which corrected previous deficiencies) today and uploaded three separate CSV files and added customers one at a time with no errors.

Emails (with password) were sent to the customers.

I installed version 1.6 from bunyip also.
When I add the customer, the customer is added to the list of customers however I get the following error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in D:\Hosting\4973417\html\admin\add_customers.php on line 71

I have the email archiver installed also. When a customer is created the email is never generated. It never shows up in the email datbase.

I just installed this mod and had the same problem. The customers that I add with this mod are calling in and want to get a catalog of what I carry. I am using my email address. I have tried using several different options and it is still giving this error. I just installed this mod this morning and the emails never sent.

I am using 1.3.8a, Bluehost hosting.

I also found that the Welcome email is not sent when adding customers one at a time i.e. not through bulk upload. I looked at the code and found the error.
Change line 320 in add_customers_backend.php from:

$send_welcome = zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['send_welcome']);

to

$send_welcome = (isset($_POST['send_welcome']) && (strtolower($_POST['send_welcome']) == 'on')) ? 1 : 0;

and change line 406 in add_customers.php from:

<input type="checkbox" id="send_welcome" value="send" name="send_welcome" />

to

<input type="checkbox" id="send_welcome" name="send_welcome" />

This fixes the email not sent problem.

Thank you for the fix! I had the same problem and now it works

I have an odd problem.

Without the above modification, the CSV import sends email but adding a customer via the web form does not.

However after doing the above, now adding a customer via the web form sends email but the CSV import does not.

What am I doing wrong?

Had a more detailed look and found the web form and the bulk upload send two different values for "send_welcome" setting. Hence a slight change to original instructions.

Change line 320 in add_customers_backend.php to:

$send_welcome = (isset($_POST['send_welcome']) && (strtolower($_POST['send_welcome']) == 'on' || $_POST['send_welcome'] == 1)) ? 1 : 0;

Haven't tested it so please advise if works OK.

Thanks for your reply but no, this didn't fix it. One thing I did notice is that with these fixes, uploading from CSV also does NOT subscribe the customer to the newsletter even though the newsletter value equals 1.

Without the fixes, the customer IS subscribed.

So maybe somehow with these fixes the values of newsletter and send_welcome are not parsed?

Thanks,

Drew

Is there a "fixed version" of this mod available for download?
and does it comfortably do bulk imports?

is there also a way to send a customized welcome email different to the original one? (probably do a promo type one)

I bulk loaded 600 customers after making a few alterations to original mod. Will advise where can be downloaded once I have found a suitable place.
No way in existing mod to send custom welcome email apart from temporarily altering original template, do the load, and then revert it back to original.

thanks
