I am trying to determine how many returning customers login into their account whether it be at the checkout stage or simply via "My Account".
I have looked for something related to this in the backend but can't find anything.
It is looking likely that I will have to create an observer for the 'customer_customer_authenticated' event and create my own logs unless anyone else knows of another way?
Thanks
There is a customer_login event you can watch/observe.
From Session.php, login($username, $password)
00161 {
00162 $customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')
00163 ->setWebsiteId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getWebsiteId());
00164
00165 if ($customer->authenticate($username, $password)) {
00166 $this->setCustomer($customer);
00167 Mage::dispatchEvent('customer_login', array('customer'=>$customer));
00168 return true;
00169 }
00170 return false;
00171 }
Just log Mage::app()->getRequest()->getReferer(); and/or Mage::app()->getRequest()->getRequestUri(); on your observer.

I'm struggling with a special little problem related to the redirect out of some Magento observer.
I wrote an extension and put an observer to the "checkout_submit_all_after" event, which works out just fine. My little extension automatically creates an invoice and sets the order status to processing, once the payment method is "Invoice". Unfortunately the redirect after submitting an order in the one page checkout doesn't work anymore. It always redirects to "checkout/cart" instead of "checkout/onepage/success".
Someone any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Here's my code:
class Shostra_AutoInvoice_Model_Order_Observer
{
public function __construct()
{
}
public function auto_create_invoice($observer)
{
$order = $observer->getEvent()->getOrder();
if (!$order->hasInvoices()) {
$payment = $order->getPayment()->getMethodInstance()->getTitle();
Mage::log("payment method: " . $payment);
if($payment=="Rechnung"){
Mage::log("autocreating invoice");
$invoice = $order->prepareInvoice();
$invoice->register();
$invoice->pay();
$invoice->save();
$order->setState(Mage_Sales_Model_Order::STATE_PROCESSING, true)->save();
Mage::log("invoice created and saved");
}
$this->addComment('Order automatically set to paid.');
} else {
$this->addComment('no invoices found.');
}
$response = $observer->getResponse();
$response->setRedirect(Mage::getUrl('checkout/onepage/success'));
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->setNoCartRedirect(true);
}
}
Thanks a lot!
Why don't you try sales_order_save_after event and try saving it, so no issues with redirection manually as Magento will take its own course,
you can refer to this link for more explanation

Is there a way to catch the event when the customer verifies it's account? I need this feature to enable user's access to other integrated subsystem
Since confirmAction() doesnt seem to fire any events in
/app/code/core/Mage/Customer/controllers/AccountController.php
You could do either
Overriding Frontend Core Controllers to create you own event using Mage::dispatchEvent() or add code directly to confirmAction in AccountController.php
Use #Pavel Novitsky answer but you may need to check that you are on the confirm account controller or check for the changing of email verification flag, because this event will trigger every time a customer information is change/updated
eg
public function myObserver(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
if(Mage::app()->getRequest()->getControllerName() == '....account_confirm'){
$customer = $observer->getCustomer();
....
}
}
Every model has standard load_before, load_after, save_before, save_after, etc. events. Look at the Mage_Core_Model_Abstract to get the list of all predefined events.
For customers you can use customer_save_after event. In observer check original data vs new data:
public function myObserver(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
$customer = $observer->getCustomer();
$orig_active_flag = $custoner->getOrigData('is_active');
$new_active_flag = $customer->getData('is_active');
// do something here …
return $this;
}
Even you can create your own event after customer vefication using below code.
Mage::dispatchEvent('Yuor_Unique_Event_Name', array());
Now using this event you can do anything you want.
I've been searching, trying, and failing alot here. What I want is to add a checkbox, on the Shipping page of Onepage checkout, the standard magento checkout.
I want to create a checkbox so that customers can check it if they want their products to be placed on their address without a signature.
I've been messing around with some old "Accept Terms" checkboxes, but with no luck.
I'm hoping that somebody might have had to make the same kind of customization.
What you can do is save the preference in the checkout/session via an observer. First, add the checkbox to the shipping section and give it the property of name=shipping[no_signature]. Then, create a new module and hook into the event controller_action_postdispatch_checkout_onepage_saveShipping and then use this code:
public function controller_action_postdispatch_checkout_onepage_saveShipping($observer)
{
$params = (Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParams()) ? Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParams() : array();
if (isset($params['shipping']['no_signature']) && $params['shipping']['no_signature']) {
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->setNoSignature(true);
} else {
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->setNoSignature(false);
}
return $this;
}
Then, when the order is about to be placed, hook into the event sales_order_place_before you can add a comment to the order like this:
public function sales_order_place_before($observer)
{
$order = $observer->getOrder();
if (Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getNoSignature()) {
$order->setCustomerNote('No signature required.');
} else {
$order->setCustomerNote(null);
}
return $this;
}
When you go to Sales > Orders, you should see a comment on the order regarding if the customer requires a signature or not. This is under the assumption that no other module or custom code is injecting anything into the customer_note field on the order object.
isn't this the right method to get Name of logged in customer?
<?php echo Mage::helper('customer')->getCustomer()->getName(); ?>
I have a website with live chat functionality. Yesterday I have been asked to pass email address and the name of the logged into the user into the Javascript Tracking variable code placed in the head section of the website. So that the operators could see who is on the website and whom are they talking to without any need to ask about their information.
So I passed the information from Magento into the Javascript code but now I see this very strange thing happening. For example,
If I am logged in with credentials Name = John Email =
john12#yahoo.com
Then This name and email variable values are changing with the change of pages. For example if I click on any product page the variable values which I am passing changes to some other user's information.
Name becomes Ricky Email becomes ricky23#gmail.com
this variable values are kept on changing back to john and from john to something else with the change of pages. So operator does not have any idea whom are they talking because the values are kept on changing. Also, user ricky or who ever it changes to also exist in the database. so it is picking up random person from the database.
This is what i did to pass the code to javascript. Please let me know if that is not the right code to pass the information. Please check the php code I am using to fetch information from Magento. Roughly, I receive incorrect value once in 5 times. Please provide some assistance. Thanks in advance.
<?php
$customer = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer();
$email = $customer->getEmail();
$firstname = $customer->getFirstname();
$lastname= $customer->getLastname();
$name = $firstname . ' ' . $lastname;
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof(lpMTagConfig) == "undefined"){ lpMTagConfig = {};}
if (typeof(lpMTagConfig.visitorVar) == "undefined"){ lpMTagConfig.visitorVar = [];}
lpMTagConfig.visitorVar[lpMTagConfig.visitorVar.length] = 'Email=<?php echo $email; ?>';
lpMTagConfig.visitorVar[lpMTagConfig.visitorVar.length] = 'Name=<?php echo $name; ?>';
</script>
I'm also attaching a snap shot
I'd be interested to hear how you're adding this code to the page? Is it in it's own block, or are you adding it to footer.phtml, or similar? If your adding to an existing block be sure to check the block caching settings of that template.
To confirm the caching hypothesis I'd ask the following:
Do you get the same name, all the time, on the same page? When you refresh the page, do you get the same name and email in the Javascript?
Does the problem persist with caching disabled?
This doesn't sound like a singleton problem at all. Each execution of the PHP script is isolated from the others, serving one page request. There's no chance of another customer's object moving between invokations of the script.
It is a matter of understanding the singleton pattern. If you call your code twice:
$customer_1 = Mage::helper('customer')->getCustomer()->getName();
$customer_2 = Mage::helper('customer')->getCustomer()->getName();
you get two different instances of the object. But... if one of them has already implemented a singleton pattern in its constructor or has implemented a singleton getInstance then both objects will actually point to the same thing.
Looking at the customer/helper/Data.php code you can see the function
public function getCustomer()
{
if (empty($this->_customer)) {
$this->_customer = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer();
}
return $this->_customer;
}
That means that in one of the cases singleton is already implemented/called and in other one - not as the property is already set.
The correct way to work with quote/customer/cart in order to get always the correct data is always to use the singleton pattern.
So using this:
$customer = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer();
always guarantee that you get the correct customer in that session. And as may be you know singleton pattern is based on registry pattern in app/Mage.php:
public static function getSingleton($modelClass='', array $arguments=array())
{
$registryKey = '_singleton/'.$modelClass;
if (!self::registry($registryKey)) {
self::register($registryKey, self::getModel($modelClass, $arguments));
}
return self::registry($registryKey);
}
and looking at app/Mage.php:
public static function register($key, $value, $graceful = false)
{
if (isset(self::$_registry[$key])) {
if ($graceful) {
return;
}
self::throwException('Mage registry key "'.$key.'" already exists');
}
self::$_registry[$key] = $value;
}
...
public static function registry($key)
{
if (isset(self::$_registry[$key])) {
return self::$_registry[$key];
}
return null;
}
you can see that Magento checks is it is already set. If so, Magento will either throw an Exception, which is the default behavior or return null.
Hope this will help you to understand the issue you face.
I have sorted this out. I have moved the code from footer.phtml to head.phtml and it's working fine now.Values are not changing anymore. If anyone know the logic behind please post and I will change my answer. So far this is working.
I have overwritten the Mage_Tax_model_Calculation::getRate, so that I want to not tax certain customers. I do not have a special customer class for them.
I have a custom field in my customer model, which I want to check after I am able to load my customer model and if this field has a value I do not tax him, otherwise I call parent::getRate($request)
Is it possible to get that in the function.
Try something like this:
function getRate($request) {
// find a customer ID
$admin_session = Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session_quote');
if($admin_session) {
if($admin_session->getCustomerId()) {
$customer_id = $admin_session->getCustomerId();
}
} else {
$customer_id = Mage::getSingleton("customer/session")->getCustomerId();
}
// find customer attr
if($customer_id) {
$customer = Mage::getModel("customer/customer")->load($customer_id);
if($customer->getSomeColumnValue()) {
return 0;
}
}
// fallthrough
return parent::getRate($request);
}
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Joe
EDIT: good point ;)
Looking through the adminhtml code, it seems to be far less useful than the normal customer code. I was hoping for a call to Mage::register but that's not happening. I found a possible solution, though loading sessions in Magento seems to have side effects. See above.
RE-EDIT: to incorporate your fixes for posterity.
Try this to load the current logged-in customer:
$session = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session');
$customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->load($session->getCustomerId());
$customValue = $customer->getCustomFieldName();
Cheers,
