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

Wow, this was it!

included/modules/create_account.php
should go into:
included/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/create_account.php

Just checked back on this post for the first time in months and finally the answer to my problem. Thanks very much Donn and mydanilo :D

My apologies if this has been asked and answered previously in this thread...I looked but my eyes are crossing and I may have easily missed it LOL

I just went into admin to check the "Other" sources and found an error message because someone had used an apostrophe in what they wrote...is there a fix already for this? Or an easy fix if one doesn't exist yet? I deleted the apostrophe in PHPMyAdmin before copying the error message :oops: LOL TIA :)

Ok, so I've been reading in this thread but I still can't seem to solve the problem of why I'm not getting my customer's response. The referred by field is blank for my customers. Can anybody help me out here?

Hi there,
My head is fried from this now. :frusty:
I follow saplanets steps and uploaded. Nothing has changed so I presume it was setup the same way in the first place.

So, none of my data is appearing in the admin. Right now in admin>extras>referral sources I have 33 'other' sources. When I click into it, there is no data it simply says 'Displaying 0 to 0 (of 0 referral sources)'!! Where's my data gone?

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks a million

Hi, I have the exact same problem, did you sort this out?

I have tried everything, what does it mean by 'comparing' files?

Does anyone have the code for the files that SHOULD be uploaded?

Thanks a million!!!!!!!

I'm having a different problem to everyone else with this mod.

At the bottom of my create account page is...
How did you hear about us:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function zen_get_source_list() in /home/aroma/public_html/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_modules_create_account.php on line 189

And now no one can create an account.

I'm using v1.3.0.1 and it hasn't been upgraded.
Server Host: web001.nz.serveweb.net (120.138.17.201) Database Host: localhost (127.0.0.1)
Server OS: Linux 2.6.18-6-xen-686 Database: MySQL 5.0.81-community
Server Date: 07/16/2009 01:36:10 Database Date: 07/16/2009 01:36:10
Server Up Time: 01:36:10 up 101 days, 23:22, 0 users, load average: 1.42, 1.54, 1.70
PHP Version: 5.2.9 (Zend: 2.2.0)

Everything has been ticking along fine until I decided this mod looked fun. I downloaded the 1.3.x.x version. 37kb.

It's taken me several hours to work out how to access the sql file to read it, however it's the same as the beginning of this post. I've put the create account php file in mytemplates as suggested.

Please help asap
Thanks

I got it sorted. I cleared it all out, uploaded the original files (yes, I still have the 1.3.0 file set) and this evening whilst it was all quiet on my website as most sane people are in bed by this time, I uploaded all the files again - except the sql script as I have no idea how to delete one of them - and it worked!!!!

So I'm happy - oh, and I put all the files in the same place the download says to put them.

:-)

I also was having trouble with the refers not showing up. I went back through and found that I had not put modules/customers.php into my templete folder!!! fixed that and IT WORKS!!!!

Well I had no installation problems with this script, smooth as silk. Although I did place more than one file in my overrides directories.

However I seem to have an extra '7' appearing in my count for 'Referral Sources'??
Where it should be '0' it's '70'
Where it should be '1' it's '71'

This is immediately after installation, with no actual results.

I've traced it as far as Line 124 of stats_referral_sources.php

$referrals->fields['no_referrals'] is returning "7(RESULT)"

I've tested this on two different servers, same problem, same lucky number 7.

??

Alright, now I'm confused.........again. Months ago when I was working on my site https://www.redlinestands.com I got this module to work properly and now here I find myself again with the same damn problem as before only with https://www.mowerpartsupply.com/catalog The fields are there on the register page and everything in my admin panel looks right but I'm still getting "none" for my referral sources. Did anyone else have this problem and know what to do? I tried taking all the files that make this module work from Redlinestands.com and transferred them to mowerpartsupply.com/catalog but it still doesn't work. I even tried installing the sql patch again but naturally that just gives me errors telling me that I've already done that. Now I'm lost.........

Ian

Yes I did. What other mods do you have installed? Maybe order editor? Some mods need to be merged.

customers.php might be the one...

Hello. Report problem. I cant tell how many customers came from sources other than 'other'? Where am I supposed to see how many were referred from Google or MSN or my custom fields? I am not using referral codes, just the drop down.

I must be missing something obvious.

Thank you

Found the answer post 221 in this thread.... put the create_account.php in override template folder.... that did the trick..

Thanks

Ok I am having difficulty getting the drop down to display the different referral options in Create Account. I am not sure where all the switches are to get this enabled. I am using 1.3.7

I do have the following switches set:

Admin/Config/My Store - Display "Other" Referral option TRUE
Admin/Config/Customer Details - Require Referral TRUE
Admin/Config/Customer Details - Customers Referral Status 2

Thanks Much in Advance.

This solved my problem at least with the test account I just created. The problem I had was the referral source selected at time of creating an account was NOT showing in admin. I made sure I had the above switches to that, did a test account and referral source there!

Where is the download link for this "Referral' mod? I've read the 24 pages here and can't find where to download.

So after reading 24 pages :blush:
I am posting this in case it helps someone find this faster :wink:
and I hope it works :smile:

Hi,
Does anyone know how to get this addon to give a javascript error if someone misses to fill this out while they are trying to create an account? At the moment if you do not fill in the 'how did you hear about us?' and click submit then the page refreshes with an error message. However, if you use javascript then the page does not need to refresh the error message just pops up.

I manage to do some of the work for the java script error as follows:

**1. First install How did you hear about us add on (if you are unsure about where the download link is for this see 2 posts up)

2. Then find

** /includes/languages/YOURTEMPLATE/english.php

Search for:
define('ENTRY_REFERENCE_FROM', 'How did you hear about us?');

…right after that line enter the following…

define('ENTRY_REFERENCE_FROM_ERROR', 'You must select a choice from How did you hear about us? pull down menu.');

3. Then find
/includes/modules/pages/create_account/jscript_form_check.php

Search for:

check_select("country", "", "<?php echo ENTRY_COUNTRY_ERROR; ?>");

…right after that line enter the following…

check_select("source", "", "<?php echo ENTRY_REFERENCE_FROM_ERROR; ?>");

That should give a java script error for the dropdown menu itself.

However, I need some help to do a javascript error if someone chooses the "other" option from the how did you hear about us drop down menu but leaves the "other" field underneath blank. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does this mod add the referral info to the confirmation email when a customer orders?

Looks like no need of the sources on the order email, because of the 'referral sources' page. I'm now wondering how to sort the refferals, by month, year, day, etc. Doesn't look like it's built in.. Maybe a feature request or Mod-of-Mod option.. Modification works great, was exactly what I needed. Be nice to do more detailed 'reports' or have more options on the 'referral sources' page. Thanks! :bigups:
