Automatically Add New Customers To Group By Mail Domain

[Rissinko]

Hi I am looking for working solution for function that add new registered customers to the groups by mail @domain... 

I tried this solution but it doesn't work on prestashop 1.6.1. Therefore i trying create post here.

the workflow to achieve it will be:
1) extract domain name from customer email

2) check grups if group with selected name exists

3) create new group if doesnt exist

4) assign customer to group

 

it is achievable with module (with account register hook) and also with customization of prestashop core

Hi Vekia. I know the workflow because first what i tried was this solution from you ... but it doesn't work for me on version 1.6.1.0

There is big chance that something has change from 2014 in this registration process... and I do not know very well the process of registration in PrestaShop so I can't figure it out.

okay, so in file controllers/front/AuthController.php you can find code like:

$customer->addGroups(array((int)Configuration::get('PS_CUSTOMER_GROUP')));

change it to:

list($user, $domain) = explode('@', $_POST['email']);

if ($domain == 'gmail.com') {
$customer->addGroups(array(ID_OF_GMAIL_GROUP));
} elseif ($domain =='hotmail.com' ) {
$customer->addGroups(array(ID_OF_HOTMAIL_GROUP));
} else {
$customer->addGroups(array((int)Configuration::get('PS_CUSTOMER_GROUP')));
}

if code above is not clear for your, let me know i will explain
