Add Customers from Admin 2.0 (1.5.0 and later) [Support Thread]

Hey, I'm having a similar problems as JimmyV.
When importing a CSV, even the sample that came with the mod.
I get:
There were errors:

Could not move file, check folder permissions.

Any ideas?

Try changing /YOUR_ADMIN/add_customers_backend.php (starting at line 35 in v2.0.5) from:

      } else {
        if (!defined('DIR_FS_UPLOADS')) define('DIR_FS_UPLOADS', DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'uploads/');  /*v2.0.5a*/
        $path = DIR_FS_UPLOADS . $files['name'];

        if (!move_uploaded_file($files['tmp_name'], $path)) {
          $errors[] = ERROR_CANT_MOVE_FILE;

to

      } else {
//        if (!defined('DIR_FS_UPLOADS')) define('DIR_FS_UPLOADS', DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'uploads/');  /*v2.0.5a*/
        $path = DIR_FS_BACKUP . $files['name'];

        if (!move_uploaded_file($files['tmp_name'], $path)) {
          $errors[] = ERROR_CANT_MOVE_FILE;

... and let me know if that corrects the problem.

Yup, that did it.

You are the Guru!

Thanks, Dave.

Thanks, Dave.:blush: I'll incorporate that correction into the plugin's distribution zip-file and get that uploaded "soon".

Since this plugin performs no core-file overwrites and has no template-related changes, it's Zen Cart v1.5.2-ready!

Hi thank you for this plug in.

Is there a way to manually set passwords at all? My mail servers not set up and won't be for a little while so kind of stuck.

Thanks

Hate to double post but I can't edit my first post.

I've installed the plugin and its working but how do I or the added customer find out the password? I have set up a gmail smtp for now and did a test add and the welcome email had no pass information so the customer would only have their email address.

Thank You

The added customer can go to your login screen and click the "Forgotten Password" link to have a new password sent to them. There's also a (relatively new) "Admin Change Password" plugin (I haven't used it).

I entered 100 customers today with no problem. Decided to take a break before entering more. When I went back to put more in I got an error that says Access Denied. Any ideas?

figured it out...somehow the permissions on that file got changed to write only. go figure....no idea how that happened though.

I'm glad you figured it out; it's strange, though, that the file's permissions were magically changed.

Hi Lat9
Does this mod play nicely with your Customer Minimum Account mod?
The reason I ask is that I have both installed yet when I attempt to manually add an individual (I've not tried via bulk upload as no call to do so) customer (filling in all displayed info options) then continue with the submit button the page simply refreshes (still containing the customers details) yet doesn't populate the customer to the list of customers.
I'm assuming 'somewhere' there is some missing required information that the add customer mod is requiring but the minimum account mod is not offering?
Below is an excerpt of errors using your other clever mod :wink:

I haven't tried the merge between Add Customers from Admin and Minimum Customer Account Information, they shouldn't overlap much since one's totally admin-side and the other is totally store-side! There would be some of the changes to the "Add Customers" processing, I'm thinking, to pull in the MCAI create-account processing (not a merge, per se, but additional development).

The PHP_NOTICE messages you show are simply the result of sloppy programming, which will be corrected in the next release of ACfA, but should not affect your ability to add a customer.

hmm, I've poked and prodded but no luck. I'm assuming that the warning/error notification of an incomplete form is not displaying hence the page never processing.

Hi,

I'm trying to implement this http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=425 to be triggered when adding a customer from admin, see my post here http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?69077-MailChimp-Newsletter-Sidebox&p=1251091#post1251091 i hope someone can shed some light

What you're trying to achieve, while possible, will take some time/investigation (i.e. beyond the scope of free forum-based support) since the MailChimp Newsletter Sidebox plugin is store-side-only while Add Customers From Admin operates only on the admin side. You'll need to copy some of the files from the MailChimp plugin to your admin folders for this functionality to operate properly.

This plugin works with v1.5.4 with no changes

Thanks for the confirmation!

Hi There,

I added this onto my admin and it seems to be working fine. However if i try to edit an existing customers date of birth, when I click update the date of birth changes to 13/02/22/0 then if I click update again it changes to 30/11/2036 it's the same everytime. Eventually it accepts the 30/11/2036 date but no other and I can't change it. I am using V1.54 not an upgrade.

I can't reproduce this.

What other mods did you install?

Are updating the DOB in the customers interface or within 'add customers'?
