[SOLVED]How to show customer group name automatically at Front Office?

[AlexYao]

I have sorted customer into different groups manually. But I want to know how to show customer group name at Front Office (account page .etc) automatically.

For example, add group name which a specific customer belongs to after logged in:

Welcome, {$customerName} Log out. You are {GroupName}.

Here {GroupName} is what I am looking for. Please help me on this. How to get this cmd?

Millions thanks in advance.

PrestaShop doesn't provide the customer's group name in the data it provides to templates, so you will need to add it. Add the following code to init.php after $cookie = new Cookie('ps');

if (intval($cookie->id_customer) > 0)
{
  $customer = new Customer(intval($cookie->id_customer));

  if (Validate::isLoadedObject($customer))
  {
     $group = new Group(intval($customer->id_default_group));

     if (Validate::isLoadedObject($group))
        $smarty->assign('groupName', $group->name[intval($cookie->id_lang)]);
  }
}

You should then be able to use {$groupName} in any TPL file.

Hi Rocky,

it seems not work in my localhost shop. it shows HTTP 500 error after adding the code you provided. (back to normal when deleted the code)

I copy and paste it into init.php file. Nothing changed. Why it doesn't work?

is it because of my localhost reason?

Pls help me. thanks.

[rocky]

I've corrected my code above. Please try again.

[AlexYao]

Hi Rocky,

No 500 error this time but visible group name is not true name as set in BO.

No matter which group a customer in, it always shows Array by name instead of actual group name.

Pls help.

Thanks for quick responce.

[rocky]

I've updated my code again to select the name for the current language. Hopefully, it will work this time.

[AlexYao]

yes, it worked now this time. Perfect!!

Thank you much. Wonderfull work, Rocky.

Hello there,

Sorry to wake up this solved topic,

I have used Rocky's method successfully on a 1.3 shop.

I would like to use it with Prestashop 1.4 alpha 3.

The init.php file is slightly different. I tried to insert the snippet of code as follows:

// Required for BO cookie path
$currentFileName = array_reverse(explode("/", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']));

$cookie = new Cookie('psAdmin', substr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], strlen(__PS_BASE_URI__), -strlen($currentFileName['0'])));

if (intval($cookie->id_customer) > 0)
{
$customer = new Customer(intval($cookie->id_customer));

if (Validate::isLoadedObject($customer))
{
$group = new Group(intval($customer->id_default_group));

if (Validate::isLoadedObject($group))
$smarty->assign('groupName', $group->name[intval($cookie->id_lang)]);
}
}

if (isset($_GET['logout'])) {
$url_redirect = '';
$cookie->logout();
}

I must be missing something because my call from the product.tpl file with {$groupName} doesn't return anything.

Any suggestion would be much appreciated!

[rocky]

It looks like the code has been moved to classes/FrontController.php in PrestaShop v1.4 Alpha 3. You will need to put it in the init() function there.

[FredActin]

Rocky, you are a legend!

It works thank you very much :-)

Just a note if somebody else wants to do the same things:

On the Frontcontroller.php file there are two lines with:

$cookie = new Cookie('ps');

Insert the code after the second line (line 119) and it should work :-)

Thanks again

  }
}

Thanks a Lot! You code is perfect and works in my 1.3.6 Vr

You should then be able to use {$groupName} in any TPL file.

[madmike]

warning $groupName is allready use in product TPL in PS 1.4

And it seem have $currentCustomerGroups in PS1.4 from Frontcontroler.php

[kosmolog]

After loading the. Tpl {$ groupName} displays "default" on the front office.

 

How do to a group of "default" not display on the front office

[FredActin]

You will need to add a condition, something like:

 

{if $groupName == 'default'}

You code here to hide the code

{/if}

Is there an update to this thread for Presta 1.4.8? There is no line for

$cookie = new Cookie('ps');

 

Duh, found it. Now looks like $cookie = new Cookie('ps', '', $cookieLifetime);

 

Line 108.

Here is a proper way to have customer groups in templates (tpl).

 

1. Create a file called FrontController.php in override/classes

2. Copy/paste the following code in this empty file

 

class FrontController extends FrontControllerCore
{
   public function init()
   {
       parent::init();
       self::$smarty->assign('customerGroups', parent::getCurrentCustomerGroups());
   }
}

 

3. You can now use {$customerGroups} in your templates

[melriks]

Just to verify, this works in Prestashop 1.5. Add Daaaaad's code to override/classes/controller FrontController.php.

 

It provided me the array of group id number(s) for the customer.

Unfortunately it's not working in Version 1.2.4.0.

 

I don't see anything in FO. Do you have any ideas?

Hello,

 

How can you add Group Name in FO??

I have already add the code in "FrontController.php"

Then add "{$customerGroups}" in the .tpl files.

 

It shows "Array" on the page.

Could you please help?? Thanks.
