Extra Fields for Customer Sign Up (Create Account) Page

[jackie.taferner]

Ahh... sorry that must have been personalized to the name of their custom field. If you installed the module exactly as I built it, the custom field will be named "customers_extrafield"

So, I *think* this would be the correct code instead. Give it a shot and see what happens :)

Add this code at line 28:

$oID = zen_db_prepare_input($_GET['oID']);
//start extrafield
$sql = "SELECT o.customers_id, c.customers_extrafield from " . TABLE_ORDERS . " o, " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " c WHERE c.customers_id= o.customers_id and o.orders_id = '" . $oID . "'";
$chk_customers_extrafield = $db->Execute($sql);
$customers_extrafield = $chk_customers_extrafield->fields['customers_extrafield']; 
//end extrafield

so now you can use the $customers_extrafield variable where you want, for example in one of the table cells:

<?php echo ENTRY_EXTRAFIELD; ?></b><?php echo ' ' . $customers_extrafield; ?>

Using V. 1.3.9, fresh install

Almost worked perfect for me, got this on the sign-up page:

EIN Number: (with a box)
ENTRY_EXTRAFIELD (box) ENTRY_EXTRAFIELD_TEXT

Cyndi,

Try step 3 of the installation process:

3. Open the 2 language files and define the names of your new field:
/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/extrafield_defines.php
/admin/includes/languages/english/customers.php

I'll try again, I thought I did that but I may have mistyped too...be right back and thanks for the awesome quick answer.

This is what I had in the extrafield_defines.php...should I also add it to the last one in this row too?

define('ENTRY_EXTRAFIELD', 'EIN:');
define('ENTRY_EXTRAFIELD_ERROR', 'Please answer Extra Field.');

if (EXTRAFIELD_REQUIRED == 'true') {
define('ENTRY_EXTRAFIELD_TEXT', '*');
} else {
define('ENTRY_EXTRAFIELD_TEXT', '');
}

[Cyndi]

In customers.php I had this for the field:

//start extrafield
define('ENTRY_EXTRAFIELD', 'EIN:');
//end extrafield

Hmm, that looks correct.

Do you have a link to your page so I can have a look?

Hi. I am using 1.3.9h and am trying to install the Extra fields. It doesn't seem to be working. I believe that I followed the instructions properly but nothing is showing up. One thing that I noticed is that I have a mandatory field below the "country" field with a blank heading. This should probably be the "state" field. Could this mod have caused this? I can see this causing problems when someone tries to sign up. Please help.
