Adding new customer from backend not inserting store id - magento

I am using magento 1.7.0.2. I am having issue regarding store id. When I add new customer from the frontend by sign up, it adds the store id in the "Customer Entity" table. However, when I try to manually add a customer using the backend inserts "0" rather than the 'store id' in the "Customer Entity" table.
How can I get the store id of the customer when adding a customer by admin?
How to set option in backend to insert store id manually in "Customer Entity" table via backend?
Is it required to set new field 'select store'?

It is simple.
go to /app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/CustomerController.php
and just before //send welcome email part
// Mage::dispatchEvent('adminhtml_customer_prepare_save', array(
// 'customer' => $customer,
// 'request' => $this->getRequest()
// ));
And put following code there.
$storeId = $customer->getSendemailStoreId();
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore($storeId);
$customer->save();
That's it now you can choose store from backend and will also be inserted in to customer_entity table.

Multiple transaction create in accounts module using a laravel package

I am creating a double entry accounts website in laravel, transaction sale, purchase and cash or bank etc. And i have build the api for an payment website using laravel accounting package eloquent-ifrs , When I create api for add transaction, these trancation is multiple types.
I have all trasaction created expect 'contra entry' transaction because in this transaction main account type not valid for double entry for line item post ledgers.example:-
$contraEntry = ContraEntry::create([
'entity_id' => $entity,
'account_id' => $bankAccount->id,
]);
$zeroVat = DB::table('ifrs_vats')->where('entity_id', $entity)->whereNull('account_id')->first();
$assetAccount = Account::where('account_type', 'BANK')->first();
$contraEntryLineItem = LineItem::create([
'vat_id' => $zeroVat->id,
'account_id' => $assetAccount->id,
'vat_account_id' => $zeroVat->account_id
In this example of code contraEntry transaction created after that lineItem not created. Because A Transaction Main Account cannot be one of the Line Item Accounts.
I have sent parameter account_id for create first ContraEntry::create([]) and required account_type = "BANK" and account_type= "BANK" required in LineItem::create([]) but exist account id can't be send showing this error.
If any one have already worked on this Eloquent IFRS laravel package or working on this "Eloquent IFRS" accounting package.Help me out I really appreciate.

Laravel - Multiple models in one controller

I have the following database structure:
Enquiries
id
total_widgets
total_amount
customer_id
Customers
id,
first_name,
last_name
Using the form when you are creating an Enquiry you can enter the Customers details into the section and this will store using firstOrCreate and then get the id in order to link to Enquiry to the Customer
Now, the issue is that this is all done inside the store method within the Customers controller, like the following:
public function store(Request $request)
{
$rules = array(
"first_name" => "required",
"last_name" => "required",
"total_widgets" => "required"
);
// Handle validation
// Create customer
$customer = \App\Customers::firstOrCreate(['first_name' => $request-
>get('first_name')]);
$enquiry = new \App\Enquiries();
$enquiry->customer_id = $customer->id;
$enquiry->save();
}
The issue with doing it like this is that it's not separated out and that if the process of creating a customer changes, then I would need to change this a lot of times. (Everytime I have a section which requires a customer)..
Is there a better way to do this? For example, should the customer be created separately and then the id is passed into the $request?
Another way of doing this is :
1) In Enquiries form add button called "add new customer".
2) When you click on this button a modal will appear and then fill details click submit.
3) On clicking submit make an ajax call to Customercontroller and insert the data then return the last inserted id.
4) Now you can see the new user in drop down box(There will be some drop down for selecting the user) of enquirey form just select it and then press submit.
5) It will passed to the enquirey controller and and store it.
Hope this will help you.

Magento: What is the url for creating a new order for a customer and store in the admin area?

I've created a button within the Admin theme, which is named 'Create order for Johnsons'
Basically on this button I want to point it to the new create order screen for customerid 3 and store 2. Something like this:
$key=Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/url')->getSecretKey("sales_order_create","index");
echo $COUrl=Mage::helper("adminhtml")->getUrl("adminhtml/sales_order/new/",array("customer_id"=>"3","key"=>$key));
Please can anybody help me?
You don't need to specify the key, getUrl does that for you when in an admin context.
echo $this->getUrl('*/sales_order_create/start', array('customer_id' => 3));
When using start like this it wipes all parameters except customer_id so a store cannot be specified. It will respect a store_id parameter if you change the URL to */sales_order_create/index but that does not start a new order so it would be problematic. To get that to work you will have to create a new controller and action for your own use and make it almost exactly like Mage_Adminhtml_Sales_Order_CreateController::startAction():
/**
* Start order create action
*/
public function startAction()
{
Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session_quote')->clear();
$this->_redirect('*/sales_order_create', array(
'customer_id' => $this->getRequest()->getParam('customer_id'),
'store_id' => $this->getRequest()->getParam('store_id')
));
}
If you want to create a new customer instead of choosing one upon creating a new order you have to set customer_id as false this way:
Mage::getModel('adminhtml/session_quote')->setData('customer_id',false);
Why? Because using
$this->getUrl('*/sales_order_create/any_action_controller', array(
'customer_id' => false
));
won't help for the reason of implementation in Sales/Order/CreateController
if ($customerId = $this->getRequest()->getParam('customer_id')) {
$this->_getSession()->setCustomerId((int) $customerId);
}
As you can see there's "int" there that will convert anything you send through and we need false to be set as customer_id since otherwise Magento will create grids first.

how can i get customer id list on onepagecontroller page?

Hello when a user place a order,i want to update a custom field of all customer.Though i have created custom field in customer section.
For this i am using following code.but by this code i am unable to find customer ids.
Please tell me how can i find customer ids in loop.
$productId='1';
$order= Mage::getModel('sales/order_item')->getCollection()
->addAttributeToFilter('store_id', Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())
->addAttributeToFilter('product_id',$productId);
foreach ($order_collection as $itemId => $item)
{
$customerid=$item->getCustomerId();
}
Mage::getModel('sales/order_item') won't have customer Id's see the database table: sales_flat_order_item You'll want to use Mage::getModel('sales/order') to retrieve such from sales_flat_order

Adding a custom field to Magento's subscription module

The newsletter subscription module in Magento has only one field (email) by default. After I add an extra field to the form (say country), how can I get the form data to show up in the Magento back-end and be sent as an email to a preset recipient? Thanks.
If you want to add some custom fields for Magento newsletter subscriber (for example subscriber_name), you should do the following:
Add new column for newsletter_subscriber table
Add text input to newsletter template
Create observer for newsletter_subscriber_save_before event
In the observer you can get your custom field's value from request and assign it to subscriber's object:
public function newsletterSubscriberSave(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
$subscriber = $observer->getEvent()->getSubscriber();
$name = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('subscriber_name');
$subscriber->setSubscriberName($name);
return $this;
}
UPDATE:
Here is the detailed article explaining how to add Country field
Also, I have created a free module, it is available on the GitHub
There are a few things that you need to take care of to make this work:
Add a new column for your data to the appropriate database table
Make sure that Magento saves your new field to the database
Present the data in the admin backend
Record the data when you get a new newsletter subscription
Here's how you can do all those things:
Ad. 1)
Using phpMyAdmin, MySQL command line, or whatever is your preferred DB manipulation method, add a new column "country" as, say, varchar(100) to the newsletter_subscriber table.
Ad. 2)
Magento will automatically give you access to the new field through the getCountry() and setCountry() methods on the Mage_Newsletter_Model_Subscriber object. The only thing it won't do is save your field back to the DB after it has been changed with code somewhere in the system. To get it saved you need to modify _prepareSave(Mage_Newsletter_Model_Subscriber $subscriber) function found in Mage_Newsletter_Model_Mysql4_Subscriber (app/code/core/Mage/Newsletter/Model/Mysql4/Subscriber.php). Be sure to make a local copy of the file first and not modify the core file. Here's what you need to add:
protected function _prepareSave(Mage_Newsletter_Model_Subscriber $subscriber)
{
$data = array();
$data['customer_id'] = $subscriber->getCustomerId();
$data['store_id'] = $subscriber->getStoreId()?$subscriber->getStoreId():0;
$data['subscriber_status'] = $subscriber->getStatus();
$data['subscriber_email'] = $subscriber->getEmail();
$data['subscriber_confirm_code'] = $subscriber->getCode();
//ADD A NEW FIELD START
//note that the string index for the $data array
//must match the name of the column created in step 1
$data['country'] = $subscriber->getCountry();
//ADD A NEW FIELD END
(...)
}
Ad. 3)
You will need to modify (a local copy of) the file app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Newsletter/Subscriber/Grid.php. The method you are looking for is called _prepareColumns(). In there you will see a series of calls to $this->addColumn(). You need to add a corresponding call for your "Country" field with the following code:
$this->addColumn('country', array(
'header' => Mage::helper('newsletter')->__('Country'),
//the index must match the name of the column created in step 1
'index' => 'country',
'default' => '----'
));
If you want the field to appear at the end of the grid (as the last column) add it as the last call, otherwise, squeeze it between the existing calls exactly where you want it to end up in the admin.
Ad. 4)
This is a part I did not have to do in my customization of the Magento newsletter, so it will be mostly theoretical. The subscription occurs in the controller located at app/code/core/Mage/Newsletter/controllers/SubscriberController.php. Here's the code of the newAction method with my proposed changes:
public function newAction()
{
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost() && $this->getRequest()->getPost('email')) {
$session = Mage::getSingleton('core/session');
$email = (string) $this->getRequest()->getPost('email');
try {
if (!Zend_Validate::is($email, 'EmailAddress')) {
Mage::throwException($this->__('Please enter a valid email address'));
}
$status = Mage::getModel('newsletter/subscriber')->subscribe($email);
if ($status == Mage_Newsletter_Model_Subscriber::STATUS_NOT_ACTIVE) {
$session->addSuccess($this->__('Confirmation request has been sent'));
}
else {
$session->addSuccess($this->__('Thank you for your subscription'));
}
//ADD COUNTRY INFO START
//at this point we may safly assume that subscription record was created
//let's retrieve this record and add the additional data to it
$subscriber = Mage::getModel('newsletter/subscriber')->loadByEmail($email);
//assuming that the input's id is "country"
$subscriber->setCountry((string) $this->getRequest()->getPost('country'));
//don't forget to save the subscriber!
$subscriber->save();
//ADD COUNTRY INFO END
}
catch (Mage_Core_Exception $e) {
$session->addException($e, $this->__('There was a problem with the subscription: %s', $e->getMessage()));
}
catch (Exception $e) {
$session->addException($e, $this->__('There was a problem with the subscription'));
}
}
$this->_redirectReferer();
}
Going through the above steps should take care of the most part of your problem. Let me know how that last part worked out, as I did not have a chance to test it.
Once you have your additional field in the Subscriber object you can do whatever you want with it. I did not really get what you mean by
be sent as an email to a preset recipient
If you can explain that I will try to help you out with this part too.
Edit - how to send a mail when someone subscribes
Just add the following code to the controller after the part which adds country to a subscriber object.
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->setBodyHtml("New subscriber: $email <br /><br />Country: ".$this->getRequest()->getPost('country'));
$mail->setFrom("youremail#email.com")
->addTo("admin#mysite.com")
->setSubject("Your Subject here");
$mail->send();
Adding to the accepted answer, you can also get away with this a little easier if you're adding a date, datetime, or timestamp-type column.
In my case, I wanted to add a "Subscribed at Date" to my grid. To do this, I wrote my upgrade script, column type being TIMESTAMP and the default value being CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. This way, when the row is added, the current date/time is recorded.
Then, all you have to do is add your block customizations. I'd suggest doing it by extending Magento's grid block rather than doing the local codepool override though. This way, you only need to override _prepareColumns();
Old thread but if someone has the same question, there is a free extension, that adds fields for gender, firstname and lastname and makes it available in the backend grid for export via xml/csv: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/extended-newsletter-subscription-for-guests.html
Perhaps you can extend the code to fit your needs.
This is a warning for anyone who's installed the Ebizmarts_MailChimp extension.
It's a great extension. But it adds subscriber_firstname and subscriber_lastname to the newsletter_subscriber table.
If you intend to create these fields, you should either "require" the Ebizmarts_MailChimp extension or check the fields don't exist before your extension creates them.
In the opposite, where you've created them and want to install the the Ebizmarts_MailChimp extension after you've created these fields, you will have to comment out the addColumn code for these two fields during installation.
