Assign variable to smarty

[Drukpa]

I have added some more fields to the User Registration page, and have successfully inserted those field values into the database. I have set customer active to 0 as I want to manually activate each customer.

 

Now, when the customer fills out the page and registers, it takes him back to the authentication page where he can log in. I want some messages show on the top of the page like how the errors are displayed.

 

Eg; in the authController I have the following code:

 

$someVariable = 2323;

self::smarty->assign('variable_name', $someVariable);

 

And in the authentication.tpl file, i have added.

 

{if isset($variable_name)}

Variable value = {$variable_name}

{/if}

 

But, I am not getting the variable displayed. How do I make it work?

 

Thanks.

In PS 1.4, is posibble change only 1 line of code and you can active manually each customer register, are you using PS 1.4?

Yes, am using PS 1.4 and I have set $customer->active = 0

 

When user registers, it shows the login/signup form again and nothing else. I want some information to be displayed on that page, something which gives a clue to the customer saying that his account has been registered, but will be approved by the administrator shortly.

after a user registers, they typically are redirected to their my-account page.

Well maybe you can edit the AuthController.php and use if $customer->active == 0 then redirect some php and display information like you mentioned, in AuthController.php search this code below:

public function preProcess()
{
 parent::preProcess();
 if (self::$cookie->isLogged() AND !Tools::isSubmit('ajax'))
  Tools::redirect('my-account.php');

 

And you can use a code maybe like this:

 if (self::$cookie->isLogged() AND !Tools::isSubmit('ajax'))
 {
  if ($customer->active == 0) //Ask if active is 0
   Tools::redirect('AccountDeactivated.php'); //Here you need create this php in your "/public_html/" with the inrformation you need display
  else
   Tools::redirect('my-account.php');
 }

You need create the file "AccountDeactivated.php" in "/public_html/", and insert the information you need show, there is many examples in web
