This Blog will helpful to add signup for wholesale in your store, you can also learn How to Activate customer through admin, How to assign group to registered user. How to add Custom field into form and add attribute to store.

Whole post is divided in three part

1) Add Link on home page and register form.

2) Assign group to new register user.

3) Add Customer Attribute and Custom For field into form.

4) How to Activate User Through Admin and notify Customer and Admin about new Customer or Wholesaler.

Step 1: How to Add Link and Register form?

Now We will learn to add link as per below. add link to headaer

For that we will Copy the core file into our default folder or template. best practice is edit core file after copying into default folder instead of direct editing into core file.

Follow below step for copy and add link.

Copy core File from location: app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/customer.xml to app/design/frontend/default/default/layout/customer.xml

Add below code to customer.xml

    <customer_logged_out>
      <reference name="top.links">
          <action method="addLink" translate="label title" module="customer">
               <label>Wholesale</label>
               <url>http://www.YourSite.com/wholesale</url>
               <position>100</position>
          </action>
      </reference>
      <remove name="reorder"></remove>
    </customer_logged_out>

<customer_logged_out>

<label>Wholesale</label>

<url>http://www.YourSite.com/wholesale</url>

</action>

</reference>

</customer_logged_out>

When we click on Wholesale for open registration form it will do nothing. to start working this link we need to create CMS Page.

How to create a CMS Page?

Click on CMS => Pages then

Click on Add New Pages button.

Set “Page Title” and “Url Key” as wholesale.

Now, Click on “Design” tab inside “layout update XML” add below code

<reference name="content">
	<block type="customer/form_register" name="customer_form_register" template="wholesale/customer/form/register.phtml">
		<action method="setShowAddressFields"><value>true</value></action>
		<block type="page/html_wrapper" name="customer.form.register.fields.before" as="form_fields_before" translate="label">
			<label>Form Fields Before</label>
		</block>
	</block>
</reference>

<label>Form Fields Before</label>

</block>

</reference>

Above code will add template to new created page.

   <action method="setShowAddressFields"><value>true</value></action>

1	<action method="setShowAddressFields"><value>true</value></action>

Above code will use to show addresss fields into wholesale registration form. if you do not want to add address field then put false instead of true.

Now we, will

Create a register.phtml for wholesale login as per below structure

Open register.phtml and add below code after line No. 51.

<input type="hidden" name="group_id" id="group_id" value="2" />

1	<input type="hidden" name="group_id" id="group_id" value="2" />

Note: Default value is give as above. but it May be different; put as per your wholesale group value.

How to Find Value:

=> Customer => Manage Customer.

Now open AccountController.php

app/code/core/Mage/Customer/controllers/AccountController.php

   public function createPostAction()
    {
        $customer = $this->_getCustomer();

        try {	
			/* Extra Content Strart for add assign group to customer and wholesale */
			
			if($this->getRequest()->getPost('group_id')){ 
				$customer->setGroupId($this->getRequest()->getPost('group_id'));
			} else {
				$customer->getGroupId(); 
			} 
			
			/* Extra Content End for add assign group to customer and wholesale */
			.......
			
			.......
			}
			
	}

public function createPostAction()

{

$customer = $this->_getCustomer();

try {

/* Extra Content Strart for add assign group to customer and wholesale */

if($this->getRequest()->getPost('group_id')){

$customer->setGroupId($this->getRequest()->getPost('group_id'));

} else {

$customer->getGroupId();

}

/* Extra Content End for add assign group to customer and wholesale */

.......

}

Step 3: Add Customer Attribute and Custom field into form.

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="field">
	<label for="your_cusom_field" class="required"><em>*</em><?php echo $this->__('Your Custom Field');?></label>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="input-box">
		<input type="text" name="your_cusom_field" id="your_cusom_field" value="" title="<?php echo $this->__('Your Custom Field');?>" class="input-text required-entry">
	</div>
<p>

<p>


<p>
</div>
<p>

<br />

<label for="your_cusom_field" class="required"><em>*</em><?php echo $this->__('Your Custom Field');?></label>

<br />

<input type="text" name="your_cusom_field" id="your_cusom_field" value="" title="<?php echo $this->__('Your Custom Field');?>" class="input-text required-entry">
