Customer Attributes

Yes, attributes created using Customer Attributes extension are available via Magento API. These attributes work in the same way default do (like first name, birth date etc.). All actions that are possible with the default attributes, are also possible with the custom ones.

To add created customer attributes to email templates use identical variables: {{var customer.custom('some_attribute_code')}}, e.g.: for an attribute called 'username' use the next variable: {{var customer.custom('username')}}.

Yes, you can add new Magento custom fields to the sales grid to sort and filter by them.

Each customer attribute created by our extension can be seen on one store view and hidden on another.

Yes, it's possible to set different attributes per different store views. If you have a multi-language store, you can create the attributes in customer native language and remove/add fields to the registration form depending on the store view.

Yes, Magento registration fields can be changed, since the module has dependent attributes functionality. This means questions display specific questions depending on the answer to the main question.

Please copy the extension template and layout files into the current theme folder that you're using.

You will need to create two files in the `etc` directory of the `Amasty: Customer Attributes` extension:
Magento_root\app\code\local\Amasty\Customerattr\etc\wsdl.xml 
Magento_root\app\code\local\Amasty\Customerattr\etc\wsi.xml 

Example files can be foundon the download links:

https://cloud.amasty.com/index.php/s/lbPngnUGFIUZ7Jv

 The `test_login_attr` is attribute code of a customer attribute, created with Amasty Customer Attributes extension.

int/string/boolean depends on the type of a customer attribute:
Text Field - string;
Text Area - string;
Date - string;
Multiple Select - string;
Multiple Checkbox Select with Images - string;
Dropdown - int;
Single Radio Select with Images - int;
Customer Group Selector - int;
Static Text - string;
Single File Upload - string;
Yes/No - boolean;

If you need to add new customer attributes not after a form but inside it, please insert the following code into the corresponding template:

<?php echo Mage::helper('amcustomerattr')->fields(array('field_code1', 'field_code2', 'field_code3'); ?>

Please use the following code if you need to get customer attribute value anywhere while using the Customer Attributes extension:

where $customer is customer object, and attribute_code is a code of customer attribute, created via the `Amasty: Customer Attributes` extension.

If you need to output the customer attribute value in the e-mail template, please follow the instructions:

1) Create a new email template based on the `New Account` template here: Backend - > System - > Transactional Emails - > and New Template button

2) Use the following code if you need to output customer attribute value in the email templates:

{{var customer.custom('attribute_code')}}

where `customer` is customer object and `attribute_code` is the code of the attribute, that was created via the `Amasty: Customer Attributes` extension.

3) Please do not forget to assign new template here: Backend - > System - > Configuration - > `Customers` section - > `Customer Configuration` tab - > `Create New Account Options` fieldset - > `Default Welcome Email` field

So you can use the `custom` method to any e-mail template, if you are sure, that the customer object is added to the e-mail.

For example, you can output customer attribute values in the order emails, because the extension is trying to add the customer object (if it exists) to the order emails.

Customer Attributes extension provides an option to export submitted values. However, there is no way to import this data.

Sure, new customer attributes will be displayed in this case. “Show on the Order View page” setting should be enabled in the attribute properties:

Usually Amasty extensions have no conflicts with other 3-d party modules, but in case there will be any, just contact our support team.

The module is 100% compatible with our One Step Checkout plugin.
