Magento 1.9 – How to Add Customer Group on Registration Page

customer-groupmagento-1.9

I have followed every tutorial I have found and doesn't work. I am trying to add the customer groups on the customer registration page but its not working. I hope this question will help others also as all the previous questions based on this are too old. Please, check below my code:

app/code/core/mage/customer/etc/config.xml

<global>
..........
<customer_account>
 <group_id>
   <create>1</create>
   <update>1</update>
</group_id>
</customer_account>
..........
</global>

app/code/core/mage/customer/controllers/AccountController.php

Replace this

$customer->getGroupId();

with

if($this->getRequest()->getPost('group_id'))
{ 
   $customer->setGroupId($this->getRequest()->getPost('group_id'));
} 
else 
{
   $customer->getGroupId(); 
}

app/design/frontend/base/default/template/persistent/customer/form/register.phtml

<div class="input-box">
<label for="group_id"><?php echo $this->__('Group') ?><span class="required">*</span></label><br/>
<select name="group_id" id="group_id" title="<?php echo $this->__('Group') ?>" class="validate-group required-entry input-text" />
<?php $groups = Mage::helper('customer')->getGroups()->toOptionArray(); ?>
<?php foreach($groups as $group){ ?>
<option value="<?php print $group['value'] ?>"><?php print $group['label'] ?></option>
<?php } ?>
</select>
</div>

there is no problem is your code you are editing the wrong phtml file. edit this file then changes will be shown.

Magento 1.9 – Select Customer Group at Registration

I believe Magento uses default controller (ie Mage_Customer_AccountController) itself to process the customer creation in this case.

There are some problems/suggestions which I need to put forward.

Your controller location is wrong. It should be /app/code/local/Company/CoreModifications/controllers/Customer/AccountController.php instead of /app/code/local/company/CoreModifications/Controllers/AccountController.php

Your controller definition should look like this.

<?php
require_once(Mage::getModuleDir('controllers','Mage_Customer').DS.'AccountController.php');

class Company_CoreModifications_Customer_AccountController
    extends  Mage_Customer_AccountController
{
    // some code
}

For more information on how to overwrite a controller, you can refer this link

Do not edit a core file. ie do not edit app/code/core/Mage/Customer/etc/config.xml. It is wrong. You can do the same-thing in your module's config.xml file

<config>
    ...
    <default>
        <customer>
            <create_account>
                <group_id>
                    <create>1</create>
                    <update>1</update>
                </group_id>
            </create_account>
        </customer>
    </default>
</config>

In fact, AFAIK this declaration is not at all necessary to achieve what you are trying to do. So you can skip this step.

Your code inside _getCustomer() method look okay for me. However you can improve your code like this.

if($this->getRequest()->getPost('group_id', false)){
    $groupId = (int)$this->getRequest()->getPost('group_id');
    $this->setData('group_id', $groupId);
} else {
    $customer->getGroupId();
}

Ultimately double check your folder names and locations. Your module folder location is app/code/local/Company/CoreModifications/
Last but not least, make sure you flushed cache.

Magento 2 Customer Registration with Customer Group

1. Add your phtml to additional info block, by creating following file: /Nano/CommissionAgents/view/frontend/layout/customer_account_create.xml.

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="form.additional.info">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="customer_groups_additional_info_customer" template="Nano_CommissionAgents::addcustomergroup.phtml"/>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

2. Now create phtml file : /Nano/CommissionAgents/view/frontend/templates/addcustomergroup.phtml

<?php
$blockObj= $block->getLayout()->createBlock('Nano\CommissionAgents\Block\CustomerGroups');
$groups = $blockObj->getCustomerGroup();
?>
<div class="field group_id required">
    <label for="group_id" class="label"><span><?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo __('I want to register as') ?></span></label>
    <div class="control">
        <select name="group_id">
            <?php foreach ($groups as $key => $data) { ?>
            <option value="<?php echo $data['value'] ?>"><?php echo $data['label'] ?>"</option>
            <?php } ?>
        </select>
    </div>
</div>

3. Create a Block to fetch all customer groups that we have to use in phtml. Create block file at (/Nano/CommissionAgents/Block/CustomerGroups.php)

<?php

namespace Nano\CommissionAgents\Block;

use Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template;
use Magento\Customer\Model\ResourceModel\Group\Collection as CustomerGroup;

Class CustomerGroups extends Template {
    public $_customerGroup;
    public function __construct(
            CustomerGroup $customerGroup
    ) {
        $this->_customerGroup = $customerGroup;
    }

    public function getCustomerGroup() {
        $groups = $this->_customerGroup->toOptionArray();
        return $groups;
    }    
}

4. Create an Observer for event "customer_register_success". For this create an events.xml in (/Nano/CommissionAgents/etc/frontend/events.xml)

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd">
    <event name="customer_register_success">
        <observer name="save_customer_group" instance="Nano\CommissionAgents\Observer\SaveCustomerGroupId" />
    </event>
</config>

5. Create observer class to save customer group after registration in file (/Nano/CommissionAgents/Observer/SaveCustomerGroupId.php)

<?php

namespace Nano\CommissionAgents\Observer;

use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;
use Magento\Customer\Api\CustomerRepositoryInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Message\ManagerInterface;

Class SaveCustomerGroupId implements ObserverInterface {
    public $_customerRepositoryInterface;
    public $_messageManager;
    public function __construct(
            CustomerRepositoryInterface $customerRepositoryInterface,
            ManagerInterface $messageManager
    ) {
        $this->_customerRepositoryInterface = $customerRepositoryInterface;
        $this->_messageManager = $messageManager;
    }

    public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer) {
       $accountController = $observer->getAccountController();
       $request = $accountController->getRequest();
       $group_id = $request->getParam('group_id');

       try {
           $customerId = $observer->getCustomer()->getId();
           $customer = $this->_customerRepositoryInterface->getById($customerId);
           $customer->setGroupId($group_id);
           $this->_customerRepositoryInterface->save($customer);

       } catch (Exception $e){
           $this->_messageManager->addErrorMessage(__('Something went wrong! Please try again.'));
       }
    }
}

6. Now try registering after: setup-upgrade, cache flush, static-content-deply and check. Hope you will find customer group in frontend and also be able to save that group (can be verified in backend).
