Additional Customers Fields

Thanks for your quick replay, but where are my template override files located? I am still using the default classic contemporary template.

Thanks for your quick replay, but where are my template override files located? I am still using the default classic contemporary template.

Since this question is not related to the MOD itself, I invite you to read the wiki documentation, tutorials/FAQ as well as to use the forum's search engine to help you out on this issue. You will find many results by using these.

when i locate the files to be edited what do I need to type into them or edit for it to work?

There are two sample files from my package you can use. I have identified, from the beginning to the end, the title of this MOD which will help you to show your additional customers fields as expected.

Update:

A new version has just been uploaded to my site. Nothing to worry about. This time, it's not about bugfixes. :wink2:

Another small update released from my site. Only the store-front required modifications to the customers table fields array. Not the admin. This has just been fixed.

TheOracle:

I just jumped into this topic by hasard. The MOD is working perfectly. If you require assistance, please post to the official topic. The additional customers fields does what you are seeking. Your customers can still enter their infos from their account as long as you activate the fields.

Hi TheOracle

has i said in the post that you ran into yesterday i seem to be having problems with this MOD. I have just reinstalled the whole updated MOD.

I am using the Simple Zen template and the only add on apart from yours is the 'Add customer from Admin'.

When i click on create new customer fields i follow the wizard but at the end of it their are no fields created. i am trying to create an account number section in create an account, now i might be just de thick but i cannot work out where i'm going wrong. I have run the SQl ok.

Any help will be very gratefully received.

Very well. Please specify exactly the details you put in your create additional customers fields page.

(Ex:

Field name: your_field_name
and all the rest of choices ...
).

I will retry them from my end and confirm if this is a bug or not.

the only add on apart from yours is the 'Add customer from Admin'.

Note: If you're referring to the 'Add customers from admin' MOD, the additional customers fields does NOT comply with that MOD (until the author makes the proper corrections due to some minimal bugs involved).

Thanks for replying TheOracle. Before we go any further what fee would you require to do this properly for me. Also is there any way you could look at getting this to work with Add customer from admin. These are 2 fields that the customer wants. Thanks you in advance

If you expect to have a full installation of this MOD, then I'd highly recommend to backup your store first (including database since this MOD also targets the TABLE_CUSTOMERS table).

Also is there any way you could look at getting this to work with Add customer from admin.

Like I said above, there are bugs involved under that particular MOD so it would be best to wait until all (or almost all) bugfixes are being released from the original author first.

These are 2 fields that the customer wants. Thanks you in advance

You can already implement your 2 fields from your overrides template manually by using your additional customers fields name (identical names).

However, if you're still requesting installation help, use my email from the installation text file for more details. Please leave all the details for your store (such as: MODs, overrides and other relative subjects that might be important - also your PHP version, mySQL version and Zen-Cart version you're actually using).

I have installed the additional customer field MOD and it works great, but one problem I am trying to make the extra field a drop down menu and it shows the menu but there are no items in it. Any help

I downloaded the new update for additional_customer_fields and it works great and I titled the Form Field (Sales Representative) and it shows up on the customer page, but I don't know how to get the field to show up. this is my script for includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/additional_customers_fields.php:

<?php //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ //--- Additional customers fields MOD v1.1 ------------------------------------------------------ //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // --- Coded by TheOracle on May 9, 2007. ----------------------------------------------------- // --- Support: <http://www.zen-cart.com/forum> ------------------------------------------------- // --- Designed for Zen-Cart v1.3x versions ------------------------------------------------------ //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // If you like this MOD, please send a donation to: [[email protected]](mailto:"[email protected]") . --------- //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Defines the additional customers fields title in order to show in HTML forms. define('HEADING_TITLE', ''); define('ENTRY_ADDITIONAL_CUSTOMERS_FIELDS_TITLE', 'Sales Representative'); // Defines the hobbies title name for the additional customers fields. define('ENTRY_CUSTOMERS_HOBBIES_TITLE', 'Hobbies: '); // Defines the sign when the additional customers fields are required to fill. define('ENTRY_CUSTOMERS_HOBBIES_TEXT', ' * '); // Defines the customers age for the additional customers fields. define('ENTRY_CUSTOMERS_AGE_TITLE', 'Age: '); define('ENTRY_CUSTOMERS_AGE_TEXT', ' * '); // Defines the customers cellphone number for the additional customers fields. define('ENTRY_CUSTOMERS_CELLPHONE_TITLE', 'Cellphone: '); define('ENTRY_CUSTOMERS_CELLPHONE_TEXT', '*'); define('ERROR_ADDITIONAL_CUSTOMERS_FIELDS_REQUIRED', 'One or more fields have not been filled out as it is required (*). Please fill out the missing fields before updating your results.'); ?>

I created a new field called sales_rep. I just don't know how to change the script to make this field appear and aldo be a drop down list with two names (Mel Kimmel & Boyd thomas). Any help thanks?

All additional customers, presented on the store-front, must be built manually over your overrides template files. Since you'd like to build a dropdown menu, you can search for: zen_draw_pull_down_menu from your admin - > tools - > developpers tool kit on how to accomplish this.

To insert these entries, you can always use the extra_definitions folder (from the file you posted right above) and define your entries.

The reason why it needs to be done manually is the fact that template files are customizable as it would interfere with your custom design if I had to implement an automated feature that would allow you to display your additional customers fields as is.

Additionally, simply use the identical field names you are creating over your overrides template files and all should be displayed as expected.

Update:

Version 2.0 release !

Since the last 6 hours, massive changes has been done since the last release. Support will be given for users who now requires assistance regarding template modifications issues due to a more facilitated module handling. :wink2:

For those who upgrades, make sure to read the upgrade and changelog documentation and to download the package from my site (live changes). However, I have also updated the version from the downloads section of this site. Until you see the v2.0, in this case, do NOT download from there yet.

Good luck !

Hi I'm sorry but your mod is buggy as i tested it locally.
an error appears

" Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\arquivos de programas\easyphp1-8\www\admin\additional_customers_fields.php:25) in c:\arquivos de programas\easyphp1-8\www\admin\includes\functions\general.php on line 34 "

I checked if there was an extra line space in the code but there's not.
than the field appears to be empty in the login page where i can only see the title of the new box: "Additional Customers Fields", even activating it (on green) in the admin
I've seen also in this thread that should be there an option to do a drop down menu for the fields but i cannot see this option.
thanks anyway
