Extra Fields for Customer Sign Up (Create Account) Page

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?

Thank you, I'm a newbie with ZenCart!

Hmm, the language definition definitely missing somehow. Try re-uploading the language file to the server, see if that fixes it. In fact, you can try re-uploading the whole package (with your changes made).

Okay, and one other quick question, in the unzipped file you have under 1.3.8 another admin file...where should that go? I can't remember where I uploaded that now, I think to the main zc_admin directory.

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.
