Hi!
I’m hoping someone can help me. I am a code newbie but love to give things a go myself.
I have added a Birth Month drop down menu to my registration liquid using the below code:
Birth Month
The Birth Month drop down works on the form however it doesn’t come through on the customers account. I would like the Birth Month to appear in their personal customer tag.
Does anybody know how to do this?
I’m sure it is just a tiny tweak to the coding.
Thanks!
Hi there,
Jack from OpenThinking here!
You can find the various address variables at this link and other customer variables at this link.
This should help you set up the collection of the customers data during registration.
let me know if this works for your. If yes; accept my answer and give me thumbs up! Thank you.
Hi Jack,
Where do I add one of these codes into my original code?
I would like the Birth Date that the customer enter to be found in their tags which i’m guesing is this snippet of code from your link:
{% for tag in customer.tags %} {{ tag }} {% endfor %}
Where would I add tis to my original code below?
Birth Month
Thanks!
In order to send the data to the server you’ve to wrap that code inside the tag.
{% form 'create_customer' %}
and
{% endform %}
and I’d go with a select (dropdown) instead of a datalist.
I didn’t test this code, so I don’t guarantee it works.
if yes, accept my answer and give me thumbs up! Thanks.
Or you could use an App to do that for your.
Unfortunately that code didn’t work on my theme.
In my theme I must use a data list instead of a dropdown.
Where do I put the in the code I have already used?
Thanks for your help.
Ceris
follow the steps but instead of the dropdown use the datalist.
Hi @Ceris !
The name attribute that @OpenThinking provided will work to add a Customer Note into Shopify with the customer’s selected birth month (e.g. Birthmonth: April), but if you want the data to appear as a customer tag in Shopify then you will need to use the following name attribute instead:
customer[tags]
Here’s a code snippet that should do what you are looking for:
Of course you’ll need to add this into your theme’s registration template (templates/customers/register.liquid) before the {% endform %} tag.
If you’re looking for another app suggestion, then be sure to take a look at the Customer Fields app. The app’s form builder is very powerful, easy to use, and it can tag customers in a variety of different ways without having to edit any theme code. You can learn more about the tagging options here: http://help.heliumdev.com/en/articles/3567319-customer-auto-tagging
Hopefully this helps!
Thanks Kyle,
That did it!
Sure thing, Ceris! I’m glad to hear it’s working for ya
Hi @Kyle_W , seeing if you might be able to help with a similar question. I’m trying to add a custom field to my create account page for a code (Academy Code) which will then tag the customer with their specific code.
I tried to use the example above and customize it to my needs, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Any suggestions?
Hey @Demkey !
Based on your screenshots it looks like you’ve got some invalid HTML. Try using this instead:
Thank you! It put the correct box there, but it just doesn’t have the title “Academy Code” in the box. Is there a way to label the box with that?
thank you again!
You’re welcome!
The code I provided included a field label, but it sounds like your theme might be hiding field labels and using placeholders instead. Try swapping the order of the label and input tags, while adding a placeholder attribute on the input, like so:
That worked, thank you so much!!
Hi very useful
How can I make that field mandatory?
And also is there anyway that when the customer places the academy code that it can verify it that’s it a true code?
