This interface module will display and retrieve customer entered information relative to customer accounts on the account create, account edit, and order customer information screens.
Fields can be optional or required.
Interface with built-in custom customer fields: The built in custom customer fields module from MIVA Corp establishes the databases and provides an admin side interface for the store owner to enter custom customer data. This module provides the merchant public side for the customer to enter data into those custom fields.
Easy token implementation: Easily place tokens on the customer information collection screens using the standard MM5 template script. You can use the common "foreach" loop to display all of them together or you can break each field out for display in various parts of the screen. For example, you may want to collect a second address line just below the first address line and then later in the screen collect the company rep the customer deals with. As example, the below text will break out a specific field, companyrep, for display at the location on the page template that you insert it.
<mvt:item name="custedit" param="companyrep" />
&mvt:custedit:current:name;
<input type="text" size="40" name="CFM_value[&mvte:custedit:current:id;]" value="&mvte:custedit:current:value;">
<input type="hidden" name="CFM_field[&mvte:custedit:current:id;]" value="1">
You can even make some of the fields required.
To view the actual look of the screen, you can go to our test store at Pin Emporium and create an account. You can change values in the fields with the account edit selection on the nav bar.
Flat file export: When a new customer account is created, all of the standard field values except the pgrpcount and password are saved to a flat file log. In addition to the standard fields, values entered into the custom fields are also saved to the flat file. Additionally, date and time fields are exported so you can determine exactly when a new customer account was created. The flat file is | delimited and can be FTPd to your PC with your FTP software and then imported into other programs. You can periodically delete the flat file and it will be recreated with the next new customer account creation.
Search new customer log: You can search the flat file log created when new customers sign-up. You can search on keyword, single date, and/or date range. The standard and custom fields will be displayed. The log display includes a link to the actual customer records so you can edit and make changes if needed.
Interface with email modules: The custom field values can be displayed in the merchant and customer notification emails if you are using our
Mail Manager module (sold separately) to generate them.
Limitations:
- Custom customer fields are used for customer records. If the customer does not create or have an existing account, there is no place to save or use the information. Hence, on the 'OCST' checkout screen, it is best to wrap the custom customer field inputs within a conditional check for customer ID.
<mvt:if expr="basket:cust_id GT 0">
....custom field input....
</mvt:if>
- If you have a field in the ship to side, it will not
automatically populate some other field in the bill to side.
- If you want to display the custom customer fields in the notification emails, you will need to use an email
module capable of using custom field tokens.
- The inputs will disable html and SQL injection hacks. It is expected customers will be entering text or checkbox entries. While textarea inputs can be used, internal actions will be taken to reduce hacker attempts. So if you need custom fields that will accept html, this module is not for you.
