Salutations to you all (or almost),
During the last month, I have been coding an important MOD that has been requested since a couple of years now. Until today, there weren't really any detailed solution on how to accomplish this. This topic will be the official topic for support on this matter.
Today, I have recruted some related topics which users has begged in order to have this:

Now, since the following topic reports that the downloads section does not function properly:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=65604
I will post my downloads URL on the bottom of this message. Please take note that if this URL gets modified, or if one of the DEV team considers that this decision should be taken as punished, then I shall not take the blame (and I hope I'm being clear on that - due to reports from other users regarding the present condition of the downloads section).
As I'm already aware of what is going to happend once people will start to download this very attended feature, this subject will probably never stop as it will keep enlarging for another hundred years. However, due to the size of these informations, I'm asking in advanced to be patient for each features you're expecting me to build as it 'could' require some time to complete it (depending on the size of requests).
Here's some detailed features that I'm sure you'll be glad to read:
// Features
A full detailed installation instruction is inside the package and waiting for you.
- No more technical knowledge for adding additional customers fields into the TABLE_CUSTOMERS table.
- Universal languages compatible.
- Auto-Importation, by a single click, of any existing fields you might have from your TABLE_CUSTOMERS table (every ever first-time execution
or when the listing table is empty).
- Admin/customers.php file now supports PHP array grouped tables name
(see: admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/additional_customers_fields.php file for more info on this).
- Auto-checked option fields selection - implemented.
- Javascript listing appearance when selecting SQL fields type, size and more (note: the fields and types are based from your includes/zc_install/sql/mysql_zencart.sql file).
- Auto-verification files and functions implemented and checks each times you execute the 'Add Customers Fields' page (under the admin's header bar).
- Reset listing table link (only listing table - not your core table).
- Create additional customers fields - wizard basis.
- MessageStack messages implemented for each negative actions.
- Set activation of each fields by a single click from the 'Add Customers Fields' 's main page.
- Test for each files under admin/customers.php page before officially publishing your created fields to your customer's form - implemented.
Note: If you already added customers fields manually into the admin/customers.php file, you have two options:
1 - Remove these fields and use these names under the admin's extra definitions folder.
2 - Keep your manual fields there but as long as you do NOT add these definitions under the admin's extra definitions folder.
However, I'd personally recommend option 1 since, once you have removed these manual fields, you can add them into the arrays 'the way you want them
to be'.
- Delete each additional customers fields without affecting your custom templates - implemented.
- Auto-update of each additional customers fields with core fields without affecting your current readings under the TABLE_CUSTOMERS table - implemented.
- Create account page process - additional customers fields updated into the TABLE_CUSTOMERS table without affecting any previous readings - implemented.
Note: Please excuse my layout. Since there are only minimal MODs listed, I do not feel the rush to make a beauty of it until I create some more (or if people likes them).
Donations would be greatly appreciated on this. My paypal email address is indicated into the installation file.
With that all said, this is a new beginning of Zen-Cart evolution. Probably several hundreds of different E-Commerce script expects to have features like these as I'm glad to have finally achieve my goalm by creating this MOD.

Enjoy and, if you have any questions - based on the current features or any suggestions for features you'd like to add, I will try to apply most of them.
