Add a field into create account

[jackie.taferner]

Sabrina, try clicking into the customer to view the details and all the information is there.

this is because customers have so much information, it can't all be displayed on the main customers page, there's no room for it.

let me know if u find it ok.

Yes, the problem is in the customer's details page (maybe I did not explain myself correctly in my last post).
For some reason I cannot explain, the information is not echoed on this page, even if the database contains it...
I've also tried to log in a zen shop as a customer and view the account information: in this page the extra field content is showed and is editable.
I've followed instructions, everything goes ok and I can't really understand what the problem could be.
Maybe some server setting?

Thank you anyway for your attention

Oh, I see. So when the customer goes to "My Account" the field is not showing then?

Try re-uploading the tpl_modules_create_account.php file, make sure it is in the correct template folder.

If that fails, then open the file currently on your server, and make sure that the following code is in there:

<!-- start extrafield -->
<label class="inputLabel" for="extrafield"><?php echo ENTRY_EXTRAFIELD; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('extrafield', $account->fields['customers_extrafield'], 'id="extrafield"') . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_EXTRAFIELD_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_EXTRAFIELD_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<!-- end extrafield -->

No, the problem is on the admin's customer page.
That is, you log is as admin, go to customers, click on a customer and you see extrafield empty. But the value is present in the database...

Thanks

Ok, re-upload the customers.php file and see if that fixes it. In fact, try re-uploading the entire set of files to be sure nothing was missed.

I used the method in Post #3 to add a Tax ID field. I placed it underneath the Company Name field on the signup page. It all works great, but when I click into that customer's entry in the Customers section of admin so that I can add them to a Group Pricing group, I encounter an issue... when I click "Update" on that page, it erases the Tax ID info from the db completely. If i re-type the info in the Tax ID field and click Update, it essentially does not write it to the db.

Any ideas as to why this would happen?

Thanks!

I forgot to mention that this is on 1.39a

I ended up reverting the files and then following the instructions in posts 14-15, and that worked! i was probably doing something wrong with the prior instructions.

I also added the Tax ID to the My Account editing page, but I can't figure out how to add the Company field there and have it work. Any ideas?

Just wanted to say thank you for this Mod. Just installed it on a version 1.3.9f and all went swimmingly. Good work.

Take care,
