Extra Fields for Customer Sign Up (Create Account) Page

I was curious so I downloaded and attempted to install. The plugin is a bit of a mess.

One reason it is failing is this -

/var/www/html/zencart200/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/extrafield_defines.php

Line #41 : if (EXTRAFIELD_REQUIRED == 'true') {

Line #47 : if (EXTRAFIELD_REQUIRED2 == 'true') {

Line #56 : if (EXTRAFIELD_REQUIRED3 == 'true') {

Line #64 : if (EXTRAFIELD_REQUIRED4 == 'true') {

The EXTRAFIELD_REQUIRED constants aren't defined anywhere - I'm guessing they were supposed to be set in admin but this plugin doesn't include this?

Adjusting this code to just assume always true might quickly sort this out - ie remove the if statements.

I don't know how you went about merging the files but the create_account file under modules needs a bit of a tweak compared to older versions.

So, short answer to your question is "no", unless there is someone else out there who is using this and has kept quiet.

This was an out of the box ZC 2.0 install specifically to test on a fresh system.
I did not change anything just followed the instructions which over wrote the existing files.

We are always looking for developers who would be willing to adopt orphaned plugins.

https://docs.zen-cart.com/dev/plugins/adoption/

It's a great way to help support the project.

That definitely won't work in 2.0.

How have you used the plugin in the past - did you use all four extra fields - was there a way to control which of the four extra fields you wanted?

The docs don't appear to mention this.

Forget my question, I can see what's supposed to be going on. Will take a proper look later.

OK, I've updated the plugin and sent linuxguy2 a private link they can download from.

I look forward to hearing back about testing - I'll submit it after some feedback.

It's working for me anyway :)

Great Job!!
NO Issues so far.
Tested with a ZC 2.0 out-of-the-box install and then with my customized ZC 2.0 install.
I'd say it's ready for primetime.

Tested with all 4 and only 1 & 4 Extra Fields

THANK YOU!!!

However,
I tried to get the extra fields to be included in the "Office Only" section of the Admins email and no joy.
Every thing looks OK and after 6 hours of debug I can't find the problem!
I modified "functions_email.php" and "lang.email_extras.php" just as I did with the older versons but no joy.
When I enable the "extrafield" it chokes on "submit".
With just "Company" enabled it doesn't choke but Company does not display in the admin email.

Do you have any logs you can share with us?

Nothing in the logs. I think there may be a more basic issue here. Is it some setting in the configuration I'm missing?
I reviewed all the all the mods I did on the old version and especially create_account.php and functions_email.php and they look appropriate.
I'm going to do a fresh install without extrafields and see in the "Company' can be included in the "Office Only" Section

This is additional code I had in the old installation on the new install it creates the account but chokes before displaying the Welcome/Authorization screen.
Works on the old install.
```php
$extra_info = email_collect_extra_info($name, $email_address, $account->fields['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $account->fields['customers_lastname'], $account->fields['customers_email_address'], $account->fields['customers_telephone'], $account->fields['customers_fax']);

// Worked on old installation $extra_info=email_collect_extra_info($name,$email_address, $account->fields['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $account->fields['customers_lastname'], $account->fields['customers_email_address'], $account->fields['customers_telephone'], $account->fields['customers_fax'], $company, $extrafield, $extrafield2, $street_address, $suburb, $city, $state, $postcode, $extrafield4);

I'm guessing that in the old installation, you edited includes/functions/functions_email.php and changed function email_collect_extra_info() to account for these extra arguments.

Rather than do that, it would be better for you to populate the moreinfo array with this data.

add , $moreinfo as the last call to email_collect_extra_info in includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/create_account, i.e.

            $extra_info = email_collect_extra_info($name, $email_address, $account->fields['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $account->fields['customers_lastname'], $account->fields['customers_email_address'], $account->fields['customers_telephone'], $account->fields['customers_fax'], $moreinfo);

then right before this line:

$moreinfo = []; 
if (EXTRAFIELD_REQUIRED == 'true') { 
    $moreinfo[ENTRY_EXTRAFIELD] = $extrafield; 
}	
if (EXTRAFIELD_REQUIRED2 == 'true') {
    $moreinfo[ENTRY_EXTRAFIELD2] = $extrafield2; 
}	
if (EXTRAFIELD_REQUIRED3 == 'true') {
    $moreinfo[ENTRY_EXTRAFIELD3] = $extrafield3; 
}	
if (EXTRAFIELD_REQUIRED4 == 'true') { 
    $moreinfo[ENTRY_EXTRAFIELD4] = $extrafield4; 
}						

Note to @royaldave - we need a notifier here too so this can be done without changing this core file.

Well, you made that look easy... Thank You Both!!
Yes in the old installations I did modify the files you referenced.
I implemented the changes you recommended and it did pull the extrafields into the Office Only section of the Admin email.
So I should be good to go.
I plan to add the company name and address.

Thank You royaldave !!

One more time,
Need a way to include the Company Name, Address Line 2, City and Zip Code to the "Office Only" section of the Sign Up form email.
Because this is information is already collected on the sign up form why not have a way to add it to the email?

I am already using the other 4 "Extra Fields for Customer Sign Up (Create Account) Page" fields to collect other data.

Rather than Hacking the core code I'd appreciate some guidance.

Thanks

I have suggested that RoyalDave look into using the Observer Notifier feature in Zen Cart to build this plugin without needing to modify core code at all. If and when he does that, you'll be able to tag on to his work.
