Add new field

[J#xx]

Hi, just a question, i've been trying to add a new field to the login form without success, i've followed the relevant thread and still no luck, has anyone else been able to add a field to the login form, if so, please could you explain in detail how this was achieved, or possibly allow your modified pages to be downloaded so others can use them, this is a really neat aspect to be able to oadd fields and it would also be a great step forward for website owners in general.

Is this possible ?

Cheers

While form fields can be added this does no good without a place in the DB to store it and the code that gets it there - then more code to extract it for later use

So I take it that no one has successfully made an additional field into the registration form. A shame really because it would be a really good addition to the cart. I really need this to be a possibility as it would enable a lot of people including me, to extend the functionality of the login form to specifically cater for individual sites.

If it's too difficult then fair enough but if so many people can create such a good end result such as zencart, i'm sure a few additional fields to a form should be no challenge, but there we are !

Thanks.

Hi, after a fair while i've managed to get some new fields in my login form and they show up in the admin section as well, they store the data entered and display's it in admin and in edit my account. Sweet !, however if I attempt to edit these fields either in my account or in admin/customers the fields go blank. What's happening to make them blank out. is it something on the SQL side as I copied the code for the fax number and modified it to my field names. the fax number changes appear but not my fields ??

Hoping you have a test or develpoment install...

While poking around on another mission I stumbled upon a module that might be your answer....read carefully the instructions, install on a dev site to determine how it does or does not work,,,,happy coding

Hi thanks for the advice and the add-on, i'll look into into it how about the blank feilds after an edit. Do you think it's a code based problem or a DB one ?

Nearly there !! - phew !

You've probably incorrectly set defaults on the inputs, either for processing the submitted data, or when retrieving the data from the database.

Hi,

"You've probably incorrectly set defaults on the inputs, either for processing the submitted data, or when retrieving the data from the database. "

Would this be in the php code or the DB ?

It's so close I can almost taste it !

I was referring to your PHP code.

I can't be much more specific because you haven't indicated *when* the information gets wiped out.

Hi, I thought I described it as it is, Log-in, enter data, data stored, go to admin/account, data appears, edit it's lost, go to edit my account information, edit a field, data lost ....
go to admin/customer edit a data field, data lost !

For some reason, every time the initial data is changed from the initial register account, the data get's lost ! does that help ?

If we can get this thing working exactly it could be an excellent mod for zencart in general.
