Add a field into create account

[margecc]

I've got a bit of a weird problem. The field added very easily and the instructions were great.

However, I added my field right below the phone and fax numbers called "customsid". When a customer does not fill in his fax number (which is not required) but fills in this customsid, in admin it shows the customs id in the fax field. If he fills in the fax field, then it puts it in the correct place.

Any ideas what I did wrong? Either way I get the number, but I have to manually move it down to the customs id box and it's huge pain.

Thanks for this thread its really helpful.

2 things,

1, how do I add checkboxes? I need a user to specify their preference in music genres.
2, and is it possible for a user to fill out these field after he created his or her account? (in the edit account field)

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 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,
Paul
