[solved] Approve new customers with admin email notification at registration

[herba]

We like to approve our customers manually, is it a way to get email or ams when they have applied ?

There is no built-in solutions but several paid modules could be found for this task.

The simplest solution without buying paid add-ons is to add this code to the override/classes/Customer.php

 

class Customer extends CustomerCore
{
    public function add($autodate = true, $null_values = true)
{
		    $this->active = false;
		    return parent::add($autodate, $null_values);
    }
}

 

Then each new customer will appear at the backend as non-active customer and you will need to activate each of them manually and you still will be notified about new customers.

so you mean with this code I get notified via email so I know if someone applied

I have a mature paid module that allows you to 1) approve new customers 2) receive email when new customer requests and account

I have already so my prospects can't see the prices, so they must apply to be able to see prices, but what we need is i.g an email so we don't have to check every hour or minute, because when people apply they like to buy

you would need to develop this code as it does not exist in native prestashop.

Thankyou very much

No I meant standard backend notification, for e-mail notification you should use paid solutions or free solution presented above. My piece of code makes users inactive after registration - they should be approved manually to become active.

Is this solution for an older Prestashop version? I just tried this solution on a 1.5.6.0 and it did not work. I couldn't find "customer.php" so I created it and uploaded it to the classes folder.  Can you confirm (please). Do I need to reconstruct as a folder (called customer) with this code as it's index file?

it's an override, in 1.5.6 this function looks like:

	public function add($autodate = true, $null_values = true)
	{
		$this->id_shop = ($this->id_shop) ? $this->id_shop : Context::getContext()->shop->id;
		$this->id_shop_group = ($this->id_shop_group) ? $this->id_shop_group : Context::getContext()->shop->id_shop_group;
		$this->id_lang = ($this->id_lang) ? $this->id_lang : Context::getContext()->language->id;
		$this->birthday = (empty($this->years) ? $this->birthday : (int)$this->years.'-'.(int)$this->months.'-'.(int)$this->days);
		$this->secure_key = md5(uniqid(rand(), true));
		$this->last_passwd_gen = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-'.Configuration::get('PS_PASSWD_TIME_FRONT').'minutes'));
		
		if ($this->newsletter && !Validate::isDate($this->newsletter_date_add))
			$this->newsletter_date_add = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
			
		if ($this->id_default_group == Configuration::get('PS_CUSTOMER_GROUP'))
			if ($this->is_guest)
				$this->id_default_group = (int)Configuration::get('PS_GUEST_GROUP');
			else
				$this->id_default_group = (int)Configuration::get('PS_CUSTOMER_GROUP');

		/* Can't create a guest customer, if this feature is disabled */
		if ($this->is_guest && !Configuration::get('PS_GUEST_CHECKOUT_ENABLED'))
			return false;
	 	$success = parent::add($autodate, $null_values);
		$this->updateGroup($this->groupBox);
		return $success;
	}

What file do I add that function to? (sorry I'm a newbie)

[Crowell]

public function add($autodate = true, $null_values = true)

{

$this->id_shop = ($this->id_shop) ? $this->id_shop : Context::getContext()->shop->id;

$this->id_shop_group = ($this->id_shop_group) ? $this->id_shop_group : Context::getContext()->shop->id_shop_group;

$this->id_lang = ($this->id_lang) ? $this->id_lang : Context::getContext()->language->id;

$this->birthday = (empty($this->years) ? $this->birthday : (int)$this->years.'-'.(int)$this->months.'-'.(int)$this->days);

$this->secure_key = md5(uniqid(rand(), true));

$this->last_passwd_gen = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-'.Configuration::get('PS_PASSWD_TIME_FRONT').'minutes'));

 

/* ADD THIS BELLOW 2 LINES CODE TO DISABLE AUTO ACTIVATION AFTER REGISTRATION*/

$this->active = false;

return parent::add($autodate, $null_values);

 

if ($this->newsletter && !Validate::isDate($this->newsletter_date_add)) {

$this->newsletter_date_add = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

}

 

if ($this->id_default_group == Configuration::get('PS_CUSTOMER_GROUP')) {

if ($this->is_guest) {

$this->id_default_group = (int)Configuration::get('PS_GUEST_GROUP');

} else {

$this->id_default_group = (int)Configuration::get('PS_CUSTOMER_GROUP');

}

}

 

/* Can't create a guest customer, if this feature is disabled */

if ($this->is_guest && !Configuration::get('PS_GUEST_CHECKOUT_ENABLED')) {

return false;

}

$success = parent::add($autodate, $null_values);

$this->updateGroup($this->groupBox);

return $success;

}

[vlado12345]

$this->active = false;
        return parent::add($autodate, $null_values);

return parent::add($autodate, $null_values);

Can anyone post a solution for the newest Presta, 1.7? This is really really annoying not to have that feature.

Thanks

Hi,

We have released a module that allows you to manually approve new user registrations. The admin gets an email notification when new user registers.

Here is the link - https://addons.prestashop.com/en/social-login-connect/43591-approve-new-user-registrations.html

Hi,

 

Currently my customers register and we activate them on our website manually. I still want to be able to do this but is there any way of sending them a preset / default email once they have registered? I.e they hit register then receive an email asking for more information.

At the moment we have to email customers 1-by-1 which is time consuming if it could be done as an auto email upon registration.

TIA
