I have imported 30,000 customers from a previous system into a new Magento installation using a custom script. I want to make it so that when a user tries to log in on the new website Magento will check to see if they have logged in before and then if not, take them to a new static page with directions on how to retrieve their password. I have looked through the Customer AccountController.php file in the Magento Core which I believe is where this needs to be implemented. Here is the source for login authentication:
public function loginPostAction()
{
if (!$this->_validateFormKey()) {
$this->_redirect('*/*/');
return;
}
if ($this->_getSession()->isLoggedIn()) {
$this->_redirect('*/*/');
return;
}
$session = $this->_getSession();
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
$login = $this->getRequest()->getPost('login');
if (!empty($login['username']) && !empty($login['password'])) {
try {
$session->login($login['username'], $login['password']);
if ($session->getCustomer()->getIsJustConfirmed()) {
$this->_welcomeCustomer($session->getCustomer(), true);
}
} catch (Mage_Core_Exception $e) {
switch ($e->getCode()) {
case Mage_Customer_Model_Customer::EXCEPTION_EMAIL_NOT_CONFIRMED:
$value = $this->_getHelper('customer')->getEmailConfirmationUrl($login['username']);
$message = $this->_getHelper('customer')->__('This account is not confirmed. <a href="%s">Click here</a> to resend confirmation email.', $value);
break;
case Mage_Customer_Model_Customer::EXCEPTION_INVALID_EMAIL_OR_PASSWORD:
//added code to allow reset if customer is imported from netsuite.
$message = $e->getMessage();
break;
default:
$message = $e->getMessage();
}
$session->addError($message);
$session->setUsername($login['username']);
} catch (Exception $e) {
// Mage::logException($e); // PA DSS violation: this exception log can disclose customer password
}
} else {
$session->addError($this->__('Login and password are required.'));
}
}
$this->_loginPostRedirect();
}
/**
* Define target URL and redirect customer after logging in
*/
protected function _loginPostRedirect()
{
$session = $this->_getSession();
if (!$session->getBeforeAuthUrl() || $session->getBeforeAuthUrl() == Mage::getBaseUrl()) {
// Set default URL to redirect customer to
$session->setBeforeAuthUrl($this->_getHelper('customer')->getAccountUrl());
// Redirect customer to the last page visited after logging in
if ($session->isLoggedIn()) {
if (!Mage::getStoreConfigFlag(
Mage_Customer_Helper_Data::XML_PATH_CUSTOMER_STARTUP_REDIRECT_TO_DASHBOARD
)) {
$referer = $this->getRequest()->getParam(Mage_Customer_Helper_Data::REFERER_QUERY_PARAM_NAME);
if ($referer) {
// Rebuild referer URL to handle the case when SID was changed
$referer = $this->_getModel('core/url')
->getRebuiltUrl( $this->_getHelper('core')->urlDecodeAndEscape($referer));
if ($this->_isUrlInternal($referer)) {
$session->setBeforeAuthUrl($referer);
}
}
} else if ($session->getAfterAuthUrl()) {
$session->setBeforeAuthUrl($session->getAfterAuthUrl(true));
}
} else {
$session->setBeforeAuthUrl( $this->_getHelper('customer')->getLoginUrl());
}
} else if ($session->getBeforeAuthUrl() == $this->_getHelper('customer')->getLogoutUrl()) {
$session->setBeforeAuthUrl( $this->_getHelper('customer')->getDashboardUrl());
} else {
if (!$session->getAfterAuthUrl()) {
$session->setAfterAuthUrl($session->getBeforeAuthUrl());
}
if ($session->isLoggedIn()) {
$session->setBeforeAuthUrl($session->getAfterAuthUrl(true));
}
}
$this->_redirectUrl($session->getBeforeAuthUrl(true));
}
Now I am wondering how to actually check if they have logged in before when the login fails in Exception "EXCEPTION_INVALID_EMAIL_OR_PASSWORD" if it fails there then I want to check for previous login, if there is one we do nothing but behave normally. If the customer has never logged in then we should redirect them to a static page. Any ideas on how to go about this?
