Hello,
I've done a module which is doing this.
Unfortunately it works only under prestashop 1.6 for now.
But you can try to fork it on github in order to make it work on your version .

Hello,

I've quickly updated the module in order to make it works under prestashop 1.5
I've not tested all the possibility , i let you try and let me know if everything is ok.

[Zen_j1]

Thank you for your help. I have successfully installed module on 1.5. As I would like to group customer by there country in back office of module I have set condition type as address and condition filed as id_country (In this case country US with ID no 21). Started registering new demo customer with country having US (ID 21) but they where not added to group US instead they where added to default customer group.

 

Then I went back in module setting that after saving id_country as condition and found that id_country is actually not saved it defaulted to back id_shop and not saving id_country where as it saving id_shop instead of id_country. I have attached to screen shots before save and after save please take a look.

 

I would also like to bring to kind attention that any condition field under condition type as customer is saved properly. I have not tested yet these condition type. But any condition filed under condition type address are not saved and defaulted back to id_shop.

[herve25]

Hello,

 

In fact it  was only a display issue of the condition in administration.
The data are well entered in the database.
I've corrected it in the version 0.1.2

 

I've use it with success with the data you've entered, that's weird.
Could you try again ?

 

Regards,
 

[Zen_j1]

In new version it is displaying field correctly under condition type address. I have tried again to group customer with ID 21 for country US but they are been added to default customer group. I have also again done fresh installation of prestashop 1.5.4.1 on localhost and tried again but it is still adding to default customer group instead of Group US. Is there any other setting to be done which I am missing.

[herve25]

Hello,

 

I've tested again, and in my case in works.
Please note that the customer is also added on the default customer group.

 

You can see my results on a new base prestashop in the followings screenshots :

 

[Zen_j1]

Thanks for your reply and sorry for replying late as I was out of town. I have tried another option to group customer by last name for e.g last name= smith. Module does group  customer by last name it adds customer to Group Smith and default group customer with success. 

 

but I failed to group customer by country_id I also tried go group customer by state_id without success I used same sitting as shown your screen shot. I have even tried condition filed "country" and typed United States in condition value but I had no success.

 

I have even tried group customer with there email ID for gmail.com and @gmail.com to group all customer having email with gmail. I was not successful.

 

I need to group customer by country or states. I deleted class_index file in cache folder and tried without success I am not sure why I am not able group customer by country ID or state ID but I can group customer by last name. 

[Zen_j1]

You are my Hero.   It work this is what I was missing actually I had to activate in backoffice>customer> registration process type (standard account creation and address creation) in my case it was Only account creation.

OK great you have found from where the issue comes from :-) !
I've forget to speak about it .

[Zen_j1]

Hi there, 

 

        As you have already done so much with this module i would like make one more request to you. As module does automatically group customer places them in respective group. Is possible to automatically set there default group to there group for e.g customer added to group US should also have default group US. 

 

        As if now even if customer is added to US group his/her default group remain customer group, for each customer manually we have to change default group in there profile.  I hope you will take this request in consideration.

Hello,

 

This kind of behaviour is not applicable with the module way of working.
As an user can be related to n groups, the default code cannot assign default group otherwise it will be a great mess.

 

So in order to correct your problem i sugget you to use a specific script like this one which will automaticaly change the user's default group.
You can put for example in file updateGroups.php in the customerautogroups module.

So you can call it with an url like : http://yoursite.com/customerautogroups/updateGroups.php

Like this :

<?php

include_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../config/config.php');

//Put here the ids of the groups for which you want to change the default groups
$idGroupsDefaults = array(5,8);

foreach ( $idGroupsDefaults as $idGroup ) {

$group = new Group($idGroup);
$customers = $group->getCustomers();

foreach ( $customers as $customer ) {
	$customer = new Customer($customer['id_customer');
	$customer->id_default_group = $idGroup;
	$customer->save();
}
}



?>

Thanks for your reply. I followed your instruction but I think I am missing something from instruction I am writing down step which I have done to make this work I kindly request you to take a look at step and please let me know what I am missing so I can correct myself to make this work.

 

Step 1) I copied your code from above post as its, just changed the ID in array from (5,8) to (4,7) in my case ID 4 is for group US and ID 7 is for Group Canada and created and saved a file as updateGroups.php

 

Step 2) Copied and pasted this updateGroups.php file in localhost/mysite/module/customerautogroups/updateGroups.php (The module folder for customerautogroups)

 

Step 3) Copied and pasted this updateGroups.php file in localhost/mysite/customerautogroups/updateGroups.php (In this case I created a New folder customerautogroups in mysite folder to paste updateGroups.php

 

​Step 4) I started registering new customer from US and canada they are successfully added to there respective group US and Canada group but default remain customer group. They are NOT changed to default US (ID 4) and canada (ID 7) respectively.

 

I am doing something wrong in steps. Please guide me correct myself and make this work.     

[herve25]

Sorry i give you a wrong path...
In fact you juste have to add this file in the customerautogroups directory.

modules/customerautogroups/updateGroups.php

 

But to be clear this page won't be called automaticaly, as it's not really linked to the module.
You have to call it with a cron task.

[Zen_j1]

Thanks for your reply. I will do research on google to find how to call it thru cron task as I have never used cron task. I was just wondering if possible provide a radio button in module with Yes or No to make particular Group default by including above code in module.  This is just a thought I have No knowledge of programming.

[herve25]

It should be done in the next version, with also the possibility of cleans all others groups.
But i don't know when i'll have time to do this.

 

Regards,

[Zen_j1]

Thank you for considering my request I will wait for next release. Please also keep next release compatable with 1.5.4.1.

[herve25]

Hello,

 

I've updated the module to version 0.2.0
It should works as you expect, but only for rule that stop processing.

Hi there,

 

         Thanks for your reply. I a have installed v 2 of module and try to create a group it gives error given below

 

An error occurred while creating an object. autogroup_rule (Unknown column 'default_group' in 'field list')

[Zen_j1]

Hi there,

 

          I have downloaded prestashop 1.6.1.3 installed on my localhost and installed v2 of module on it. I do not get Error message in  1.6 which I am getting 1.5.4.1 but I would also like bring to kind attention that even if I set default group yes, stop processing yes default group still remain customer and default group is not set to US.

 

In second case I have all also set delete group to yes, default group yes, stop processing yes and checked with one more registration found that group access for customer group is removed and access to only US group is there But still the default group remain customer and it is not set US as default group. 

[Zen_j1]

Perfect. Just perfect herve's module v 0.2.1 adds customer to there group and can also set them as default group. I worked with this module on prestashop 1.5.4.1 and 1.6.1.3 to group customers by country and also tested with states in both cases it provided result with success. Thank you very much herve for your work.

Hello.

This module is exactly what I need for my shop, but I cannot make it work. I installed it, and it appears in modules list, but for me it is not configurable. What did I do wrong?

I need to put customers in groups according to Countries they came from and separate Companies (this is for the taxsation purposes)

 

I would appriciate some help 

Thank you.

[herve25]

Hello,

 

You can read more about this module on my blog post :

http://www.h-hennes.fr/blog/2015/11/10/prestashop-ajouter-automatiquement-les-clients-a-un-groupe-lors-de-linscription/
It's in french but you can translate it using chrome.

 

When the module is installed a new link appears in the customer menu, in which you can create your specific rules.

Hello,
at first thanks for the module. Ive installed it in 1.7 , no problems with installation.
I want to use the conditon field "company". If the user regist and gives a company name, than the user should be assigned to a group called B2B. The B2B mode is activated. But on registration process it doesnt assign new customer to new group. Do I something wrong?
Thanks in advice.

Hi herve25,
firts of all I want to thank you for your precious module, it solves a great prestashop missing function for me!
I've install your module on my prestashop 1.6.1.24, and after many test of registration, I was near to remove the module, I've understood I must activate "Standard registration (account and address creation)".
I'm here to ask you if it's possible to upgrade your beautyfull module assigning group on the insertion of address after registration, in this way I can leave separate Creation of customer account and insertion of address.
Thank you in advance.
