Get email notifications for new customers registrations

Nemo — Mon, 05 Jan 2015 11:38:16 +0000

In this quick tip we will see how to enable email notifications for when a new client registers to our shop.

The Plan

Since we want to be informed when a new user registers, we need to add our code snippets right where the user itself is notified about it. For this reason, we will be extending the sendConfirmationMail method of the AuthController.php file, and create a new email template as well.

The AuthController override

As always it’s good practice to use overrides instead of modifying core files directly (to preserve changes after updates). Therefore, create a new file called AuthController.php inside override/controllers/front. Inside php tags, paste the following override code:

Class AuthController extends AuthControllerCore
{

	
}

As mentioned above, we need to extend the default sendConfirmationMail method, so let’s grab it from the original controller and paste it inside our override (this is from Prestashop 1.6.0.9):

Class AuthController extends AuthControllerCore
{
	protected function sendConfirmationMail(Customer $customer)
	{
		if (!Configuration::get('PS_CUSTOMER_CREATION_EMAIL'))
			return true;

		return Mail::Send(
			$this->context->language->id,
			'account',
			Mail::l('Welcome!'),
			array(
				'{firstname}' => $customer->firstname,
				'{lastname}' => $customer->lastname,
				'{email}' => $customer->email,
				'{passwd}' => Tools::getValue('passwd')),
			$customer->email,
			$customer->firstname.' '.$customer->lastname
		);
	}
	
}

Just in case, let’s make sure emails still work. Erase the class_index.php located in the cache/ folder. Then, try registering a new user and make sure you get the confirmation email. If you do, it’s time to add another rule to inform the admin; right before the return, add:

Mail::Send(
			Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT'),
			'account_for_admin',
			Mail::l('New client!'),
			array(
				'{firstname}' => $customer->firstname,
				'{lastname}' => $customer->lastname,
				'{email}' => $customer->email
				),
			Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_EMAIL'),
			Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_NAME')
		);

Explanation: we just copied the returned code and adapted it to our needs; first, instead of using the customer language to grab the email template, we use the shop’s default one. This way we don’t need to create multiple/translated templates. Then, we pass in ‘account_for_admin’ as email template name; it doesn’t exist yet so don’t try running a new registration or it won’t work. Then, to preserve the user’s credentials we get rid of the password. Lastly we set the “to” parameter to the shop’s email, and set the receiver to the shop’s name. That’s all there is to it. Let’s now create that template.

Creating a new email template

Instead of proceeding from scratch, I generally copy an existing html template, to have them all uniform. Let’s use that user welcome as base. Reach mails/en (or whatever your default language’s ISO is, you can check it in the back office, localization, languages); Clone both account.html and account.txt, and then rename them to account_for_admin.html and account_for_admin.txt. Open up the .txt file, it will look something like:



[{shop_url}] 

Hi {firstname} {lastname},

Thank you for creating a customer account at {shop_name}. 

Here are your login details:

E-MAIL ADDRESS: {email}

PASSWORD: {passwd} 		 

Important Security Tips:

* Always keep your account details safe.

* Never disclose your login details to anyone.

* Change your password regularly.

* Should you suspect someone is using your account illegally, please
notify us immediately.

You can now place orders on our shop: {shop_name}
[{shop_url}] 

{shop_name} [{shop_url}] powered by
PrestaShop(tm) [http://www.prestashop.com/]

Let’s modify it so to fit our needs:



[{shop_url}] 

Hi!

A new customer just signed up for an account at {shop_name}. 

Here are the details:

E-MAIL ADDRESS: {email}

NAME: {firstname} {lastname}

Then, apply the same modifications to the html file (please note I am only copying relevant parts of the template):



	
		
			Hi {firstname} {lastname},

			Thank you for creating a customer account at {shop_name}.



	
		
			Hi!

			A new customer just signed up for an account at {shop_name}.

Then



	
		
			
				 
				
					
						
							Your {shop_name} login details						
						
							Here are your login details:
 
							E-mail address: {email}

							Password: {passwd}



	
		
			
				 
				
					
						
							Your {shop_name} login details						
						
							Here are your login details:
 
							E-mail address: {email}

							Password: {passwd}

Lastly, you can get rid of this:


	 


	
		
			
				 
				
					
						Important Security Tips:
						
							Always keep your account details safe.
							Never disclose your login details to anyone.
							Change your password regularly.
							Should you suspect someone is using your account illegally, please notify us immediately.
						
					
				
				 
			
		
	


	 


	
		
			You can now place orders on our shop: {shop_name}
		
	


						
							 
						
						
							
								{shop_name} powered by PrestaShop™

And it’s done! Time to test the outcome!

Troubleshooting

When dealing with emails and Prestashop, there is a high chance of failure. Don’t be discouraged if if doesn’t work at the first attempt, and check the following:

- Send out a test email from advanced parameters -> emails to your mail address
- Make sure it didn’t end up in the spam folder
- Double-check the new template name, it must be account_for_admin everywhere
- Make sure you added the template to the correct iso folder. If unsure, clone it to every of them

If you still don’t receive the email, it’s worth trying to kill the Mail::Send method in case of failure, by using the following code instead:

Mail::Send(
			Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT'),
			'account_for_admin',
			Mail::l('New client!'),
			array(
				'{firstname}' => $customer->firstname,
				'{lastname}' => $customer->lastname,
				'{email}' => $customer->email
				),
			Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_EMAIL'),
			Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_NAME'),
			null,null,null,null,_PS_MAIL_DIR_,true
		);

The last parameter I passed in is telling the method to die in case of failure. If that happens, you should be given more info about what went wrong.

How to add new fields to the customer address in Prestashop

Nemo — Tue, 22 Apr 2014 09:21:30 +0000

In today’s tutorial, we will see how to add new fields to the customer address in Prestashop.

UPDATE! If you prefer a simple solution, I created a module that automates the process and does much more, find it here

Download Project Files

Version used: Prestashop 1.6 (compatible with Prestashop 1.5)

Plan of action

In order to add a new field to the address registration form, we will be adding a couple of overrides, as well as creating a new database field and modifying the address template file. If you are not familiar with Prestashop overrides, check out my article on how to extend Prestashop objects (although we will have to use a slightly different technique).

The address class and database table

First things first, we need something to play with. We want the customer to be able to fill in a field which doesn’t currently exist, therefore let’s login to the database, access the ps_address table and create a new field: my_custom_field. I made it a 64 long VARCHAR field.

Next we need to tell the address object (class) that it has a new field to deal with. Create a new file inside override/classes/ and call it Address.php. Add the following inside php tags:




class Address extends AddressCore
{

	public $my_custom_field;


	public static $definition = array(
		'table' => 'address',
		'primary' => 'id_address',
		'fields' => array(
			'id_customer' => 		array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isNullOrUnsignedId', 'copy_post' => false),
			'id_manufacturer' => 	   array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isNullOrUnsignedId', 'copy_post' => false),
			'id_supplier' => 		array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isNullOrUnsignedId', 'copy_post' => false),
			'id_warehouse' => 		array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isNullOrUnsignedId', 'copy_post' => false),
			'id_country' => 		array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isUnsignedId', 'required' => true),
			'id_state' => 			array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isNullOrUnsignedId'),
			'alias' => 				array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 32),
			'company' => 			array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'size' => 64),
			'lastname' => 			array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 32),
			'firstname' => 			array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 32),
			'vat_number' =>	 		array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isGenericName'),
			'address1' => 			array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isAddress', 'required' => true, 'size' => 128),
			'address2' => 			array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isAddress', 'size' => 128),
			'postcode' => 			array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isPostCode', 'size' => 12),
			'city' => 				array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isCityName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 64),
			'other' => 				array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isMessage', 'size' => 300),
			'phone' => 				array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isPhoneNumber', 'size' => 32),
			'phone_mobile' => 		array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isPhoneNumber', 'size' => 32),
			'dni' => 				array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isDniLite', 'size' => 16),
			'deleted' => 			array('type' => self::TYPE_BOOL, 'validate' => 'isBool', 'copy_post' => false),
			'date_add' => 			array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isDateFormat', 'copy_post' => false),
			'date_upd' => 			array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isDateFormat', 'copy_post' => false),
			'my_custom_field' => 	array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'size' => 64),

		),
	);
}

Explanation: if you read my article on how to extend Prestashop Objects, you will notice I approached this override a little differently. I am not assigning the new field upon instance creation, but I am directly overriding its definition. The reason is simple: the Address definition is called statically when creating a new address in the front office, and if we added the new field in the construct method, we would have missed it from the list.

Please notice that this definition comes from Prestashop 1.6.0.5, and I therefore recommend to use your own from the original Address class, in case you have a different Prestashop version.

The back office Address Controller

We are half the way through already, and at this point we need to override the back office controller responsible for displaying the address modification form for each customer.

Create a new file named AdminAddressesController.php in override/controllers/admin/. We need to extend the renderForm() method; thus, head over the main controllers/admin folder, open up the original AdminAddressesController.php, locate the renderForm() method and copy it. Then, add the following inside php tags in our new controller override:


Class AdminAddressesController extends AdminAddressesControllerCore
{

}

And paste the renderForm() code inside the class. Here is how mine looks like, taken from Prestashop 1.6.0.5:


Class AdminAddressesController extends AdminAddressesControllerCore
{


	public function renderForm()
	{
		$this->fields_form = array(
			'legend' => array(
				'title' => $this->l('Addresses'),
				'icon' => 'icon-envelope-alt'
			),
			'input' => array(
				array(
					'type' => 'text_customer',
					'label' => $this->l('Customer'),
					'name' => 'id_customer',
					'required' => false,
				),
				array(
					'type' => 'text',
					'label' => $this->l('Identification Number'),
					'name' => 'dni',
					'required' => false,
					'col' => '4',
					'hint' => $this->l('DNI / NIF / NIE')
				),			
				array(
					'type' => 'text',
					'label' => $this->l('Address alias'),
					'name' => 'alias',
					'required' => true,
					'col' => '4',
					'hint' => $this->l('Invalid characters:').' <>;=#{}'
				),
				array(
					'type' => 'text',
					'label' => $this->l('Home phone'),
					'name' => 'phone',
					'required' => false,
					'col' => '4',
					'hint' => Configuration::get('PS_ONE_PHONE_AT_LEAST') ? sprintf($this->l('You must register at least one phone number.')) : ''
				),
				array(
					'type' => 'text',
					'label' => $this->l('Mobile phone'),
					'name' => 'phone_mobile',
					'required' => false,
					'col' => '4',
					'hint' => Configuration::get('PS_ONE_PHONE_AT_LEAST') ? sprintf($this->l('You must register at least one phone number.')) : ''
				),
				array(
					'type' => 'textarea',
					'label' => $this->l('Other'),
					'name' => 'other',
					'required' => false,
					'cols' => 15,
					'rows' => 3,
					'hint' => $this->l('Forbidden characters:').' <>;=#{}'
				),
			),
			'submit' => array(
				'title' => $this->l('Save'),
			)
		);
		$id_customer = (int)Tools::getValue('id_customer');
		if (!$id_customer && Validate::isLoadedObject($this->object))
			$id_customer = $this->object->id_customer;
		if ($id_customer)
		{
			$customer = new Customer((int)$id_customer);
			$token_customer = Tools::getAdminToken('AdminCustomers'.(int)(Tab::getIdFromClassName('AdminCustomers')).(int)$this->context->employee->id);
		}

		$this->tpl_form_vars = array(
			'customer' => isset($customer) ? $customer : null,
			'tokenCustomer' => isset ($token_customer) ? $token_customer : null
		);

		// Order address fields depending on country format
		$addresses_fields = $this->processAddressFormat();
		// we use  delivery address
		$addresses_fields = $addresses_fields['dlv_all_fields'];

		$temp_fields = array();

		foreach ($addresses_fields as $addr_field_item)
		{
			if ($addr_field_item == 'company')
			{
				$temp_fields[] = array(
					'type' => 'text',
					'label' => $this->l('Company'),
					'name' => 'company',
					'required' => false,

				);
				$temp_fields[] = array(

					'col' => '2',
					'name' => 'vat_number'
				);
			}
			else if ($addr_field_item == 'lastname')
			{
				if (isset($customer) &&
					!Tools::isSubmit('submit'.strtoupper($this->table)) &&
					Validate::isLoadedObject($customer) &&

					$default_value = $customer->lastname;
				else
					$default_value = '';

				$temp_fields[] = array(

					'default_value' => $default_value,
				);
			}
			else if ($addr_field_item == 'firstname')
			{
				if (isset($customer) &&
					!Tools::isSubmit('submit'.strtoupper($this->table)) &&
					Validate::isLoadedObject($customer) &&
					!Validate::isLoadedObject($this->object))
					$default_value = $customer->firstname;
 	 	 	 	else
 	 	 	 		$default_value = '';

				$temp_fields[] = array(

					'default_value' => $default_value,
				);
			}
			else if ($addr_field_item == 'address1')
			{
				$temp_fields[] = array(
					'type' => 'text',
					'label' => $this->l('Address'),
					'name' => 'address1',
					'col' => '6',
					'required' => true,
				);
			}
			else if ($addr_field_item == 'address2')
			{
				$temp_fields[] = array(
					'type' => 'text',
					'label' => $this->l('Address').' (2)',
					'name' => 'address2',
					'col' => '6',
					'required' => false,
				);
			}
			elseif ($addr_field_item == 'postcode')
			{
				$temp_fields[] = array(
					'type' => 'text',
					'label' => $this->l('Zip/Postal Code'),
					'name' => 'postcode',
					'col' => '2',
					'required' => true,
				);
			}
			else if ($addr_field_item == 'city')
			{
				$temp_fields[] = array(
					'type' => 'text',
					'label' => $this->l('City'),
					'name' => 'city',
					'col' => '4',
					'required' => true,
				);
			}
			else if ($addr_field_item == 'country' || $addr_field_item == 'Country:name')
			{
				$temp_fields[] = array(
					'type' => 'select',
					'label' => $this->l('Country'),
					'name' => 'id_country',
					'required' => false,
					'col' => '4',
					'default_value' => (int)$this->context->country->id,
					'options' => array(
						'query' => Country::getCountries($this->context->language->id),
						'id' => 'id_country',
						'name' => 'name'
					)
				);
				$temp_fields[] = array(
					'type' => 'select',
					'label' => $this->l('State'),
					'name' => 'id_state',
					'required' => false,
					'col' => '4',
					'options' => array(
						'query' => array(),
						'id' => 'id_state',
						'name' => 'name'
					)
				);
			}
		}

		// merge address format with the rest of the form
		array_splice($this->fields_form['input'], 3, 0, $temp_fields);

		return parent::renderForm();
	}
	
}

We must edit the $this->fields_form variable to add a new input field; right after this:

				array(
					'type' => 'text',
					'label' => $this->l('Identification Number'),
					'name' => 'dni',
					'required' => false,
					'col' => '4',
					'hint' => $this->l('DNI / NIF / NIE')
				),

Add the following

				array(
					'type' => 'text',
					'label' => $this->l('My custom field'),
					'name' => 'my_custom_field',
					'required' => false,
					'col' => '4',
					'hint' => $this->l('Just a custom field!')
				),

Note: make sure the “name” matches the one of the new attribute previously added to both the database and Address class object!

Lastly, at the end of the method, change:

return parent::renderForm();

return AdminController::renderForm();

So that the new fields list is not replaced by the original one.

If the Address class or/and controller were not previously overridden, at this point you must reach the cache/ folder and erase class_index.php; as always. After doing it, overrides will take place.

The Front Office Address Template

As very last step, let’s now add the custom field to the front office template, so it can be filled in by clients when they register. Open up address.tpl, located in the theme folder. I am using the default bootstrap template, so your file might look differently in case you have a custom one! Locate:


			{if $field_name eq 'vat_number'}
				
					
						
							{l s='VAT number'}
							
						
					
				
			{/if}

And right after it, add:


			{if $field_name eq 'my_custom_field'}
				
					
						
							{l s='My Custom Field'}
							
						
					
				
			{/if}

Save and refresh, we’re done!

TIP: if you don’t see any change in the front office, make sure you turn on recompilation from Advanced Parameters > Performance, and clear Smarty cache as well

Optional: Making the new field mandatory

If you really need your customers to input something in that new field, than another override is necessary. Create a new file within override/controllers/front and call it AddressController.php. Paste the following inside php tags, ad always:


Class AddressController extends AddressControllerCore
{

}

We need to override the processSubmitAddress() method. Therefore, if your Prestashop version is not 1.6.0.5, go ahead and copy your original one inside this new override; otherwise you can use the following:


	protected function processSubmitAddress()
	{
		$address = new Address();
		$this->errors = $address->validateController();
		$address->id_customer = (int)$this->context->customer->id;

		// Check page token
		if ($this->context->customer->isLogged() && !$this->isTokenValid())
			$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('Invalid token.');

		// Check phone
		if (Configuration::get('PS_ONE_PHONE_AT_LEAST') && !Tools::getValue('phone') && !Tools::getValue('phone_mobile'))
			$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('You must register at least one phone number.');
		if ($address->id_country)
		{
			// Check country
			if (!($country = new Country($address->id_country)) || !Validate::isLoadedObject($country))
				throw new PrestaShopException('Country cannot be loaded with address->id_country');

			if ((int)$country->contains_states && !(int)$address->id_state)
				$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('This country requires you to chose a State.');

			$postcode = Tools::getValue('postcode');		
			/* Check zip code format */
			if ($country->zip_code_format && !$country->checkZipCode($postcode))
				$this->errors[] = sprintf(Tools::displayError('The Zip/Postal code you\'ve entered is invalid. It must follow this format: %s'), str_replace('C', $country->iso_code, str_replace('N', '0', str_replace('L', 'A', $country->zip_code_format))));

				$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('A Zip/Postal code is required.');
			elseif ($postcode && !Validate::isPostCode($postcode))
				$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('The Zip/Postal code is invalid.');

			// Check country DNI

				$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('The identification number is incorrect or has already been used.');

				$this->errors[] = sprintf(Tools::displayError('The alias "%s" has already been used. Please select another one.'), Tools::safeOutput($_POST['alias']));
		}

		// Check the requires fields which are settings in the BO
		$this->errors = array_merge($this->errors, $address->validateFieldsRequiredDatabase());

		// Don't continue this process if we have errors !
		if ($this->errors && !$this->ajax)
			return;

		// If we edit this address, delete old address and create a new one
		if (Validate::isLoadedObject($this->_address))
		{
			if (Validate::isLoadedObject($country) && !$country->contains_states)
				$address->id_state = 0;
			$address_old = $this->_address;
			if (Customer::customerHasAddress($this->context->customer->id, (int)$address_old->id))
			{
				if ($address_old->isUsed())
					$address_old->delete();
				else
				{
					$address->id = (int)($address_old->id);
					$address->date_add = $address_old->date_add;
				}
			}
		}
		
		if ($this->ajax && Tools::getValue('type') == 'invoice' && Configuration::get('PS_ORDER_PROCESS_TYPE'))
		{
			$this->errors = array_unique(array_merge($this->errors, $address->validateController()));			
			if (count($this->errors))
			{
				$return = array(
					'hasError' => (bool)$this->errors,
					'errors' => $this->errors
				);
				die(Tools::jsonEncode($return));
			}
		}
		
		// Save address
		if ($result = $address->save())
		{			
			// Update id address of the current cart if necessary
			if (isset($address_old) && $address_old->isUsed())
				$this->context->cart->updateAddressId($address_old->id, $address->id);
			else // Update cart address
				$this->context->cart->autosetProductAddress();

			if ((bool)(Tools::getValue('select_address', false)) == true OR (Tools::getValue('type') == 'invoice' && Configuration::get('PS_ORDER_PROCESS_TYPE')))
				$this->context->cart->id_address_invoice = (int)$address->id;
			elseif (Configuration::get('PS_ORDER_PROCESS_TYPE'))
				$this->context->cart->id_address_invoice = (int)$this->context->cart->id_address_delivery;
			$this->context->cart->update();

			if ($this->ajax)

				$return = array(

					'errors' => $this->errors,
					'id_address_delivery' => (int)$this->context->cart->id_address_delivery,
					'id_address_invoice' => (int)$this->context->cart->id_address_invoice
				);
				die(Tools::jsonEncode($return));
			}

			// Redirect to old page or current page
			if ($back = Tools::getValue('back'))
			{
				if ($back == Tools::secureReferrer(Tools::getValue('back')))
					Tools::redirect(html_entity_decode($back));
				$mod = Tools::getValue('mod');
				Tools::redirect('index.php?controller='.$back.($mod ? '&back='.$mod : ''));
			}
			else
				Tools::redirect('index.php?controller=addresses');
		}		
		$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('An error occurred while updating your address.');

Right before the // CHeck Phone comment, add:

		if ( !Tools::getValue('my_custom_field'))
			$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('The custom field is mandatory!');

So that an error will be thrown if your clients leave that field empty!

Remember to erase the class index file again, of course.

Adding the new field to the address format in Prestashop

As a side note, be aware that in order to display the new field we added we need to change the address format for each country. I am not currently aware of a simple way to apply address changes to all countries at once. Therefore, head over to Localization > Countries, click on a country name and add the new field to the address box:

What for new Customer Fields?

Throughout this tutorial, we added a new field to the Address object. However, it is also possible to create a new basic customer field, to sit along name, lastname and email in the very basic registration (even without an address). To do so, you can simply apply the same process to the Customer class, and relative controllers. Just be aware that you will need to edit a couple of different template files: identity.tpl and authentication.tpl, as well as order-opc-new-account.tpl if you use the one page checkout!

UPDATE! If you prefer a simple solution, I created a module that automates the process and does much more, find it here
