Extra Fields for Customer Sign Up (Create Account) Page

[helenakj]

Sorry, I should have read all the threads before posting. Sounds like it does work with v 1.5.1 and data is added to customers table.

We had a company do updates to our site and some file structures are different than from a standard install. I checked the files structures for the affected files to make sure they match and found that there are some differences.

The admin folder is called 2013. Can I assume I need to rename the admin folder from the download accordingly?

The create_account.php file is currently located at includes/modules/create_account.php which doesn't follow the includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/create_account.php file structure in the file(s) I downloaded. Should I change the file structure(s) to make sure they match or is this mod creating another create_account.php file that sits within YOUR_TEMPLATE (appropriate name).

If I should adjust the file structure how best to do that. i.e. should I create a YOUR_TEMPLATE (appropriately named) folder in my current file structure so that the create_account.php file is saved there or should I remove the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder from the files I downloaded and place the create_account.php file directly into the modules folder?

Hi All,

I have installed and used this add-on for years now; but only used one of the 4 extrafields that come with it. It's been working fine for me.
My store now has the need to use another field to store some extra customer info; but we want it to be available on the admin side only, and not on the sign-up or account edit pages that customers see. Currently when I turn on an extra field in the config, it's on in all those places.

Is there a clean way to do this rather than editing the template files ? My site is on 1.3.8a. Thanks.

I thought I'd post my own solution here, so unless someone has a better idea, I'll stick to to this (and it might end up helping others looking for a similar feature).

I clone the configuration keys to turn on/off DISPLAY_EXTRAFIELD and name their keys DISPLAY_EXTRAFIELD_ADMIN for each of the customers_extrafield. With these keys I can turn on/off at will.

The I edit /admin/customers.php ; wherever there is this:

if (DISPLAY_EXTRAFIELD == 'true')

I change it to:

if (DISPLAY_EXTRAFIELD == 'true' || (DISPLAY_EXTRAFIELD_ADMIN == 'true')

With this I can choose to have the extra field displayed the normal way or in admin only by setting DISPLAY_EXTRAFIELD_ADMIN to on .

Good evening,

I tried to install this plugin with 1.5.4. I used WinMerge to try to add the appropriate data while keeping the 1.5.4 structure. I then ran the SQL patch. But now when I try to edit a customer or delete a customer, I get an HTTP 500 error.

I copied all of my old files back to my store and tried to run delete SQL to no avail. Could anyone please help me?

Peek at your /log folder for any errors that may have been left when the code failed.

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to get the customers_extrafield information to show on the admin invoice.
I have installed the mod and can edit the field from the customers tab fine (i dont want customers to edit so I have not updated / modified the edit or create account pages)

I saw the code in post #6 but cannot seem to get it to work (code written for 1.3)

zencart 1.5.4
Extra Fields 2.0

any help with this would be great.

I added 50 fields using this plugin, it's working great except for when a user misses a field, it refreshes and displays a missing field warning, and wipes out all the 50 fields, so the user needs to add all of them again. The normal zencart fields don't get wiped out. I have looked at the normal zencart fields, but I don't know what the difference is and why these remain when extra fields become blank.
Thanks for the contribution.

[vandiermen]

extra fields become blank.

p.s.
Looks like this is my fault somehow, the extra fields 1 2 3 4 are fine, just the ones I added are becoming blank, I am sure I will figure it out soon.
