New Customer and shipping address problem

[LSVF]

When a new customer creates an account, for some reason the script is not automatically setting their address as the "primary" address. After creating the account and clicking on continue, nothing shows -- no name, no address -- nothing, hence no shipping info shows either. However, if you goto my account, edit shipping/address book, click on the edit button next to the address, the "set as primary shipping address" box is unchecked. If you check this, everything now works fine.

Can someone tell me what I need to change so that this is no longer a problem? Many thanks.

Anyone?

Has anyone out there had this problem? I have tried all that I know and I still can't get it to work right.

LSVF,
Try checking the code in the file named create_account.php and around line 209 see if it compares with the following code:

$address_id = tep_db_insert_id();

tep_db_query("update " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " set customers_default_address_id = '" . (int)$address_id . "' where customers_id = '" . (int)$customer_id . "'");

tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS_INFO . " (customers_info_id, customers_info_number_of_logons, customers_info_date_account_created) values ('" . (int)$customer_id . "', '0', now())");

You can insert an echo statement to check the value of $customer_id and $address_id before they get inserted. It will cause an error as the headers won't be able to be written, but you can check your sql syntax and the values to make sure they are getting properly assigned to the appropriate variables.

If nothing else, hope this gets you on the right track.

L8ter,

I am having the same problem, came here searching for an answer! I have tried everything!!!!

The address is getting written to the databases - it is just not showing up when you place an order or other areas that it should show up.

I compared my code to what obewanz posted above. I could see no difference.

Thanks Obewanz. After that didin't work, I just re-uploaded files I had changed and started all over again. All works now.
