Add new field

[J#xx]

Hi, after a fair while i've managed to get some new fields in my login form and they show up in the admin section as well, they store the data entered and display's it in admin and in edit my account. Sweet !, however if I attempt to edit these fields either in my account or in admin/customers the fields go blank. What's happening to make them blank out. is it something on the SQL side as I copied the code for the fax number and modified it to my field names. the fax number changes appear but not my fields ??

Cheers

Hoping you have a test or develpoment install...

While poking around on another mission I stumbled upon a module that might be your answer....read carefully the instructions, install on a dev site to determine how it does or does not work,,,,happy coding

Hi thanks for the advice and the add-on, i'll look into into it how about the blank feilds after an edit. Do you think it's a code based problem or a DB one ?

Nearly there !! - phew !

You've probably incorrectly set defaults on the inputs, either for processing the submitted data, or when retrieving the data from the database.

Hi,

"You've probably incorrectly set defaults on the inputs, either for processing the submitted data, or when retrieving the data from the database. "

Would this be in the php code or the DB ?

It's so close I can almost taste it !

I was referring to your PHP code.

I can't be much more specific because you haven't indicated *when* the information gets wiped out.

Hi, I thought I described it as it is, Log-in, enter data, data stored, go to admin/account, data appears, edit it's lost, go to edit my account information, edit a field, data lost ....
go to admin/customer edit a data field, data lost !

For some reason, every time the initial data is changed from the initial register account, the data get's lost ! does that help ?

If we can get this thing working exactly it could be an excellent mod for zencart in general.

Sounds like wherever you're reading the POST field data you're either wiping it out or you're not actually storing the collected updates and it's storing blank data instead.
So either your parsing of POST inputs is wrong, or whatever variables you're passing to the code that stores the data to the database are wrong or blank. Maybe you need to check all the data to see what you're collecting and what you're writing, and figure out what's causing the difference.

If we can get this thing working exactly it could be an excellent mod for zencart in general.

Have fun supporting it!

Hi, So far so good, I've got the admin side working and the login side working, they both exchange information correctly but its just the my account/edit my account details section that's causing the trouble.

The data apprears in the relevant fields as entered from either login or admin, but if I edit a field from the my account sectionand click update, it blanks the fields in every section including the DB.

I've checked the code a million times and looked at every page that references the "fax" field from the DevToolKit but it won't have it. any ideas as to a cure for the fields becoming blank ?
