Importing customer accounts
 

I am moving over from another program and am uploading my customer accounts, the only main issue I have is that X-cart uses the username and login, and I want it to be only email address....how can I fix this?

Thank you

et me clarify, all I want the customers to have to use is their email address

That requires quite a bit of modification, as you would need to replace the username fields everywhere with an e-mail address, give the customer a way to change their username (not currently an option) and then make sure the e-mail address is unique, which will prevent anon checkout customers from buying from you more than once. All in all, a pretty big headache.

I figured as much. I was told by our reseller that it wouldn't be hard, my bosses have listed it as a high priority, and I have no clue where to start

Balinor,

which method do you recommend for 4.1.8

Re: Importing customer accounts
 

You'll need to read that thread...I don't recommend this method at all because of the issues I mentioned above.

yeah i tried the method listed in that thread and now my site is down...it keeps telling me i have an error in line 201.... Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_OR in /home/httpd/vhosts/toolexperts.com/httpdocs/register.php on line 201....Here is my code.....


$fillerror = (!empty($error) || empty($passwd1) || empty($passwd2) || ($passwd1 != $passwd2)); || strlen($passwd1) > 64 || strlen($passwd2) > 64);
