Login as Customer module [Support Thread]

Bump, Anyone?

Hello Everyone,

I've installed alac_2.2 and I thought everything was OK except...
for some reason when I log in to place an order as a customer their State/Province doesn't show up, which means their provincial sales tax isn't calculating correctly on the order.
Has anyone bumped into this?

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!

This issue doesn't occur from my home computer....it must be a cache issue with Firefox on my PC at work.

Hello everyone,

I'm still having trouble with this issue occurring which means I can't place an order for the customer because there is no sales tax being calculated. Is there anyone that knows what would be causing this?

Please!!:blush:
Thank you!

Installed this perfectly on ZC 1.3.7, but getting different results when logging in as customer when using IE8.

First time logging in as customer, I get sent to the cart homepage:
/index.php?main_page=index

If I close this that browser window/tab without logging out, and then attempt to login with the same customer, I'm instead sent to the account page:
/index.php?main_page=account

Obviously this is a session/cookie issue, but why does ALAC route to different pages? What is the default page it should route to? And is there a way to change it if I'd rather be brought so a different page on the site after logging in as a customer?

Thank you!If you created these customers using the "Add Customers from Admin" add-on, the issue is not caused by this mod, but with out the "Add Customers from Admin" add-on stores customer data (in particular state/province data).. Somewhere there's a post on this forum where I outline exactly what happens..

In any case your issue is not this mod..

I'm having the same issue and have been able to track it down to the 'address_book' mysql table. There is no entry in the 'entry_state' field; somewhere there is code that uses these value in the 'entry_zone_id' field to get the value as it works just fine when looking at the address book.

For instance, I attempt to log in as customer, there is no state showing, I click on the place order button, go to the address book and there is a state.

I know only enough to mess things up so I'll make no code modifications, maybe someone will take a look and make a suggestion of what to modify.

If you used the "Add Customers from Admin" module to create the customer account, the problem you are having with the Login as Customer module is with how customer province/state data is added to the database when using the "Add Customers from Admin" module..

The customer account was added by the customer. I do have the Add Customers from Admin add-in installed, and this customer was added after that install so I'll look at those file.

This still doesn't explain why this add-in (log in as customer) doesn't look up the state via the entry_zone_id like the core zen cart does.

Ok, well I found the following code in the core customer.php file, line 267

        if ($entry_zone_id > 0) $entry_state = '';

This tells me that the Login as Customer should be looking up the state based on the entry_zone_id, right?

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to uninstall this module or perhaps alter it? A friend had someone install this and she no longer felt comfortable letting that person have access to her store. She changed the admin password but now is not able to log in as a customer with her new admin password. This mod was working perfectly until she changed the password to her admin area. She didn't think it would change how the mod worked. Any advice in the right direction for this would be greatly appreciated.

In Admin when i hit place order it brings me to this page

re you sure you want to log in as:
First Name: Last Name:
Company Name:
Street Address:
City: State: Zip Code::
Telephone:
Email Address:

I hit place order and it tells me There was a security error when trying to login.

Has anyone tried this mod on 1.5.0 yet? We rely on it for our other sites and need to get it working for a new site on 1.5.0

Others have reported (here and here) that this mod works fine with ZCv150. Looking at the files, the only file in the addon that has changed in zcv150 is the admin/customers.php.

Suggest using a file comparison program like winmerge or beyond compare to compare admin/customers.php from the ZC139 fileset with the admin/customers.php from the addon to identify the mod changes.

Once you have those identified, simply merge them into the admin/customers.php from the ZCv150 fileset.

Wrong thread to post this question as it appear to be unrelated to support for the "Login as Customer" module. Start a new thread in the forum for assistance with your issue..

This addon has been updated for Zen Cart 150. However, when I submitted the uploaded version to the downloads area, the included readme file inadvertently omitted a crucial step in the installation process. I've since corrected the readme and submitted it. The most up to date version should be available within a couple of days. You may download it here: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=583

Sorry....when I said this: "when I submitted the uploaded version to the downloads area" I meant to say UPDATED version - not uploaded version.

Does this module allow you to register a New Customer via the administration section as well?
Or is it just for logging in as existing customers?

Thanks!

Allows for logging in as existing customers only.

There is a separate addon "Add Customers From Admin" that allows you to add new customers/create new customer accounts in the admin, but unfortunately, it is not compatible with ZC150. If you are running an earlier version of ZC through, it would be just what you're looking for.
