Additional Customers Fields

Package updated on my site. This should (hopefully) not happened again. Thanks for the catch. For your case, simply re-compare your create_account.php file with mine.

What's your site? The only place I can find you MON is zencart/downloads.

Until my site will be ready, as it is very slowly progressing, I cannot confirm this question. :lookaroun

I can find you MON is zencart/downloads.

As for this part of the question, I'm not sure I understand it . . .

By the way, if you meant my downloads site, it is ... on my first post on this topic ... if you're asking me this (and understood you correctly) it's because you did NOT read my announcement entirely but just skipped ahead to the next one. :blink:

General update:

Since the past month, I have been working hard on this MOD in order to fit everyone's needs in order to facilitate the task by adding additional customers fields into your online store.

Today, I'm proud to announce the final & solid release of v2.52 from my site (for those who already downloaded it, make sure it's the very latest release). No other known bugs seem to have been reported from users after the last few ones above as I am sure proud for achieving my goalm on this project.

That all said, if you have any suggested features you'd like to see on this amazing shortcut MOD, NOW is the best time to state them. Simply send a list (and please - do it once (or twice max)) on your next post and make sure to put as much information as you'd suggest (if too much - please send them as an attachment file).

Also take note that the downloads section for downloading the solid version is NOT yet ready. Meaning, a last post update (for this version of course) will be posted once ready. For now, download it from my site. I wish I add the possibility of deleting all previous version before the v2.52 but it doesn't seem like I can (or I simply missed the link may be).

If you do not have any other featured suggestions to post, then good luck with this MOD as it has been my pleasure of creating it as I consider it a complete success. :smile:

In the mean time, I will, of course, maintain support for this topic for subjects that has not yet been posted. To make sure, simply follow the whole conversation to make sure you're updated (I know, it's a long topic). :wink2:

Update:

Ready from the downloads section now. Both ends should be available for download.

Thank you Theoracle, so far everything works great.

I have one question for you tho, is it alright to delete "define('HEADING_TITLE', '')" in additional_customers_fields_account_edit.php and additional_customers_fields_create_account.php in /includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/your_template/?

Reason is cause "define('HEADING_TITLE', '')" causes conflict with the Contact Us and Forgotten Password fieldset heading, it makes it disappear. So I removed it and it appears. Removing "define('HEADING_TITLE', '')" would it cause problems to other files?

Thanks again

Actually, this was only part of my example.

For the account edit,

rename:

define('HEADING_TITLE',

with:

define('HEADING_ADDITIONAL_CUSTOMERS_FIELDS_ACCOUNT_EDIT_TITLE',

For the create account,

rename:

define('HEADING_TITLE',

into:

define('HEADING_ADDITIONAL_CUSTOMERS_FIELDS_CREATE_ACCOUNT_TITLE',

Just make sure to rename these definitions as well (CAPS ones - not the word define of course) from your includes/modules/<your_template>/create_account.php and includes/modules/pages/account_edit/<your_template>/header_php.php file and you should be all set. :wink2:

TheOracle,
Thanks for all of your hard work and efforts! Your MOD works perfectly now and we are excited to start promoting our site soon. There is one thing that I would like to see happen if it is not already possible.

From the admin side; if when a customer completes an order I would like to be able to have the additional customer field show up on the invoice when I go to print it. If it is possible now, how do you do it. If not, that would be a great feature.

Thanks for all your work & I will be making a donation for your hard work and efforts shortly!

When a customer actually completes the order, you should be able to add all your additional customers fields to your email checkout template file as is (and once you have added the additional object variables into your additional email header file under your extra_datafiles/mods/additional_customers_fields/order_confirmation_email folder).

If this wasn't what you meant, please clarify and confirm if this has been added or not. :wink2:

Thanks. Truly appreciated. :smile:

If I go to admin>customers>orders and click on invoice of one of the orders I would like the additional customer fields to appear on the invoice to be printed. Does it make since?

Ahhh ! yes - the admin order page. I forgot about this one actually. The problem is, I cannot know which additional customers fields you added on your email checkout template by yourself. Perhaps I could could additional extra_definitions array calls in order, for you, to declare each additional customers fields you used on your email checkout template ? If you agree, then you'd need to make sure that your entered fields from the admin matches equaly with your email checkout template (fields name). Would that do ?

Secondly, would it be possible to resend your server info by email (like last time - but for the admin section rather than the store-front) so that I could test this on ? It might be possible to do so without additional calls for the arrays but just need to make sure first.

Thanks.

Do you mean my server versions or my login?

That is exactly what I want! See the problem is this site is new to us and our sales team is worried that they are not going to get commission for the sales of their already established customers. So, if a purchased is made it would make things alot easier if the Sales Rep. was printed on the invoice.

Do you mean my server versions or my login?

I meant your server info (such as FTP server with primary account info, admin URL with admin account, store URL with test account over email NOT here) regarding the admin orders page. I will investigate this more closely (make sure to have at least one generated order under that page in order to be worked on + make a backup if you haven't done so already).

The idea of the bolded part has been reflected yesterday actually. I just noticed then that something was missing on this subject. Already registered customers currently aren't aware of the existence of any future (or present) additional customers fields you might create as it will objectively show under their 'My account' page (surprisingly I might add). Althought, it is obvious that not all customers will think of checking for new fields under their account page.

I thought I'd need to wait a little while to announce this but, now that you mentionned it, I'm currently building a seperated MOD that will handle announcements from the admin section towards all created customers account with their own inboxes. This way, everybody will be aware of these new created fields without any surprises. :wink2:

I just sent my server info to s******@gmail.com

Thanks for respecting the email confidentiality. I will take a look at it shortly.

please inform me when you are done so I can take a look thanks!

An update will be sent over email as an update will be sent here for an updated package (if needed for the 2nd one).

Just wondering if you have had a chance to look a the site yet.

I did replied to your email message about 30 mins ago as I'm still waiting for your next reply . . .
