Cartthrob and Zoo visitor

Question

I'm trying to do a checkout with cartthrob and instantly creating a new member. This really works great so I have a member entry in the members table. But I use zoo visitor and also need a channel entry there. It is described in the docs of cartthrob that it has to work: http://cartthrob.com/docs/tutorials/member-accounts/#addons-for-member-management

Does anybody has a working example for this scenario?

Regards

Answer 1

I solved it with {exp:zoo_visitor:sync}

first screen is for CT to create member account and others (payment select etc). second screen I used {exp:zoo_visitor:sync} to sync CT member data to zoo_visitor.

Works great. If needed you could use the second screen to alter or add extra data to zoo_visitor.

Answer 2

With the hint from Gfive I played around with {exp:zoo_visitor:sync}. After I recognized that this function uses the wrong site_id for me I wrote a small plugin which temporarily changes the site_id especially to my needs. Here is the code:

class Custom_Zoo_Sync
{
    public function sync()
    {
        $this->EE =& get_instance();

        $this->EE->load->add_package_path(PATH_THIRD . 'zoo_visitor/');
        $this->EE->load->library('zoo_visitor_lib');
        $this->EE->load->helper('zoo_visitor');

        $real_site_id = $this->EE->config->item('site_id');
        $this->EE->config->set_item('site_id', 1);
        $this->EE->zoo_visitor_lib->sync_member_data();
        $this->EE->config->set_item('site_id', $real_site_id);

    }
}

Feel free to comment this solution. Perhaps it is a bad idea to do it this way?
