Register customer from module front controller PrestaShop 1.7

In some situations, we need to implement the customer registration from a different/custom module page. Today we are going to understand the code implementation for the same.

In this code implementation, we are not going to write a code for the customer registration form rather we will just use the same tpl file which is being used by Prestashop.

We will understand the process in three steps display blank form, save the input/submit form, and edit the form.

Display a blank form

To display the native Prestashop customer registration form we just need to add the below code in the initContent() function of our front controller.

$registerForm = $this->makeCustomerForm()->setGuestAllowed(false)->fillWith(Tools::getAllValues());
$this->setTemplate('customer/registration');
$this->context->smarty->assign($registerForm->getTemplateVariables());
$this->context->smarty->assign(
    array(
        'register_form' => $registerForm->getProxy(),
        'action' => $this->context->link->getPageLink(
            'authentication',
            true,
            null,
            array('create_account'=>1)
        ),
        'hook_create_account_top' => Hook::exec('displayCustomerAccountFormTop'),
    )
);
$registerForm->fillWith(Tools::getAllValues());
$this->render('customer/_partials/customer-form.tpl');

The above block of code is creating an object of the registration form. And then assigning the template variables with hook data and then rendering the default tpl form.

Save/Create the customer (submit the form)

To submit the form we just need to pass the form values in fillwith() function as a parameter. And then need to call the submit() function of the registration class.

$registerForm->fillWith(Tools::getAllValues());
$hookResult = array_reduce(
    Hook::exec('actionSubmitAccountBefore', array(), null, true),
    function ($carry, $item) {
        return $carry && $item;
    },
    true
);
if ($hookResult) {
    $registerForm->submit();
}

Edit/Load the form with existing details

$objCustomer = new Customer(Tools::getValue('id_customer'));
$registerForm->fillFromCustomer(
    $objCustomer
);

Here we are getting the customer id from the URL and creating the customer object. This customer object is getting used to fill the form details.

So this is the process of how you can get register the customer from your controller page without creating a separate customer registration form.

Hope after this blog, You will be able to use it easily.
