Adding customers to groups.

[Boopathy]

Hi,

I am trying to add users with particular email id are automatically added into the same group.

For example users having account in gmail should come under the GMAIL group created by me in prestashop. Is that possible in prestashop or should I have to add the functionality in the source???

 

Thanks in advance.

by default it's not possible, only with modification of core.

 

the question is:

you want assign new customers only? (while register)

or also customers that already have an account in your shop?

Hi vekia,

 

Okay..!

 

For your question,

Yes, I want to assingn to new customers. Cuz i have a plan in my mind to restrict offers to customers in selected groups. Let me get this straight , if i have a deal with a company named xxxx, then the employees in that company who have id in the format [email protected]/+, they all should come under the group xxxx.

 

Thanks.

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

Hi Vekia

 

Should this work in 1.6.0.6?

 

I tried and it didn't work. It looks quite simple but it's not working.
