Registration on Success Page

Question

I want to add the possibility to ask the guest customer to create an account on the success page, after the order has been received in magento.

Update: I think this function name is Register after Checkout.

Answer 1

Judging by your screenshot, you are using custom theme. That’s why you need to localize this page (success page) first. Make sure that it has the call getChildHtml. If there is not such a call, then you should add it for the block that we gonna create. I’ve taken rwd theme as basis.

If you don’t have a module for customizations, then create it. In my case, this is Test_Module. There are plenty of articles in the web, where you could find how to create modules.

We need one new block Test_Module_Block_Checkout_Success_Register where we place the main logic that could be expanded later.

<?php
/**
 * Created by PhpStorm.
 * User: usr
 * Date: 6/2/16
 * Time: 10:12 AM
 */

class Test_Module_Block_Checkout_Success_Register extends Mage_Core_Block_Template
{

    /**
     * @var Mage_Sales_Model_Order|null
     */
    protected $order;

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    /**
     * @param Mage_Sales_Model_Order $order
     * @return Test_Module_Block_Checkout_Success_Register
     */
    public function setOrder(Mage_Sales_Model_Order $order)
    {
        $this->order = $order;
        return $this;
    }

    /**
     * @return Mage_Sales_Model_Order|null
     */
    public function getOrder()
    {
        return $this->order;
    }

    /**
     * Prepare customer data for the register form
     *
     * @return mixed|Varien_Object
     */
    public function updateFormData()
    {
        $data = $this->getData('form_data');
        if (is_null($data)) {

            /** @var array $formData */
            $formData = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomerFormData(true);

            $order = $this->getOrder();
            $customerData = [
                'email' => $order->getCustomerEmail(),
                'firstname' => $order->getCustomerFirstname(),
                'lastname' => $order->getCustomerLastname(),
                'city' => $order->getBillingAddress()->getCity(),
                'country' => $order->getBillingAddress()->getCountry(),
                'region_id' => $order->getBillingAddress()->getRegionId(),
            ];

            $data = new Varien_Object();
            if ($formData) {
                $data->addData($formData);
                $data->setCustomerData(1);
            }
            $data->addData($customerData);

            if (isset($data['region_id'])) {
                $data['region_id'] = (int)$data['region_id'];
            }

            $this->setData('form_data', $data);
        }

        return $data;
    }

    /**
     * Prepare block data:
     * > Get order id
     * > load order
     * > set data to the block
     *
     * @return $this
     */
    protected function _beforeToHtml()
    {
        parent::_beforeToHtml();

        /** @var Mage_Checkout_Block_Onepage_Success|null $successBlock */
        $successBlock = $this->getLayout()->getBlock('checkout.success');
        if (!$successBlock) {
            return $this;
        }

        /** @var string $orderId order Increment Id here (not the real id!) */
        $orderId = $successBlock->getOrderId();
        /** @var Mage_Sales_Model_Order $order */
        $order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->loadByIncrementId($orderId);

        $guest = $order->getCustomerIsGuest();
        if (!$guest) {
            return $this;
        }

        $this->setOrder($order);
        $this->updateFormData();

        return $this;
    }
}

?>

In this block we are using method _beforeTOHtml where the check for block drawing is held and the order with all required customers’ information is loaded. If you are a perfectionist, you can separate this part for different methods, but the overall way is clear. We are receiving the order icrement_id from the parental block where it should be.

Note! If your theme is using another system of order receiving, simple replace it in the block with your own.

Then, we need a copy of customer/form/register.phtml template that we will edit to get the desired result. Copy the file to the templates folder of your module. In my case this is app/design/frontend/base/default/template/test/customer/form/register.phtml. Next, delete all the unnecessary information from the template, but leave all the input fields and widget calls. This is my template:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('form_fields_before') ?>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('customer.form.register.extra') ?>
<form action="<?php echo $this->getPostActionUrl() ?>" method="post" id="form-validate">
    <!--        Hide customer main data fields-->
    <div class="fieldset" hidden="hidden">
        <input type="hidden" name="success_url" value="<?php echo $this->getSuccessUrl() ?>"/>
        <input type="hidden" name="error_url" value="<?php echo $this->getErrorUrl() ?>"/>
        <ul class="form-list" hidden="hidden">
            <li class="fields">
                <?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('customer/widget_name')->setObject($this->getFormData())->setForceUseCustomerAttributes(true)->toHtml() ?>
            </li>
            <li>
                <label for="email_address" class="required"><em>*</em><?php echo $this->__('Email Address') ?></label>

    </div>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
    //<![CDATA[
    var dataForm = new VarienForm('form-validate', true);
    <?php if($this->getShowAddressFields()): ?>
    new RegionUpdater('country', 'region', 'region_id', <?php echo $this->helper('directory')->getRegionJson() ?>, undefined, 'zip');
    <?php endif; ?>
    //]]>
</script>

For the fieldsets that shouldn’t be displayed, but will be filled from the block by default, we should set the attribute hidden="hidden". If you delete them completely, the registration won’t be able to complete. Only the fieldset with a password and field with subscription stay visible.

Thus, we are using standard registration block for this form, then we need one intermediate template for our block, where this standard block with our template app/design/frontend/base/default/template/test/checkout/register.phtml will be called.

<?php
if (!$this->getOrder()) {
    return;
}
$this->getChild('customer_form_register')->setData('form_data', $this->getData('form_data'));
echo $this->getChildHtml('customer_form_register');
?>

Finally, we need a layout, where we mark all changes in app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/test.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <checkout_onepage_success>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="test/checkout_success_register" name="checkout.success.register.form" template="test/checkout/register.phtml">
                <block type="customer/form_register" name="customer_form_register" template="test/customer/form/register.phtml">
