"How did you hear about us" addon problem

Just installed how_did_you_hear_about_us_138arev2.zip for Zen-Cart 1.3.8a.

I worked very carefully (took the better part of the day) to avoid conflicts with other addons (especially CAPTCHA). When I completed this very tedious task (on a test site, of course), I was expecting to see the miracle happen...

Well, the fields do appear correctly (SQL patching went smoothly with 12 statements processed) BUT:

  1. Despite having it set to 'required', account creation succeeds even if the new customer ignored it (not selecting source and not entering anything in the "other" box).
  2. Even when the new customer enters something (e.g. Google), Admin->Extra->Referral Sources keeps showing only 'Other'.
    Any idea where the problem might be?

A well known bug? A problem in my installation process?

Thanks.

SOLVED

It turns out that I copied the addon's create_accoutns.php to its original includes/modules when I had a template override just under it...

Special thanks to @narsaw who went through exactly the same thing and provided the solution here:

Works beautifully. :smile:

No, it is not designed that way. It is designed to be part of the account creation page, simply adding another fields (or two) to the customer record.
