Changing account registration fields

[Guest]

I need to change some of the fields in the account registration process. So far I've removed the date of birth one but I need to change some of the names and the order of the others

 

Currently I have

 

Gender:

First Name

Last Name

Email Address

 

Street Address

Suburb

Post Code

City

County

State/Province

 

Telephone Number

Fax Number

---------------------------------

 

I would like to change these to

 

Gender

First Name

Last Name

Email Address

 

*Centre Name

*Address Line 1

*Address Line 2

*Address Line 3

*Address Line 4

*Country

 

Telephone Number

Fax Number

 

Could someone give me an idea which files I need to be editing to do this?

Catalog/includes/module/account_details.php is the main one

 

also (depending on what you are doing)

catalog/create_account.php

catalog/create_account_process.php

acoont.php

account_edit.php

catalog/includes/languages/english.php

catalog/includes/form_check.js.php

 

admin/customers.php......

 

Then you can start on all the checkout files also... etc etc

 

 

 

Something like this, which sounds simple, can turn into a major project :shock: Probably over 30 files *may* be involved depending on exactly what you are doing

 

Just be careful with your cutting and pasting... the html format and the placement of curly braces is critical.... as is error checking.

 

If you have extra fields you will need corresponding database rows.

 

Not for the faint hearted! :shock:

 

But persevere... it can be done!

 

There may be some help on the Wiki site also!

Hmmm.......thanks but I think I'll end up stuffing my install if I start making major changes like that!!

 

Isn't there an easier way where I can just change the names of the fields that are shown and the order they appear in, I'll just leave the back end bits alone.

You can change the order for account signup in catalog/includes/account_details.php... like I said, be careful how you cut and paste.... this is the only way it can be done...... :shock:

 

You can change the names in catalog/includes/languages/english.php

[Guest]

Thanks for the pointers, hopefully I'll be ok from here :)

[Guest]

I've changed the order in account_details.php and it all works perfect.

 

Thanks for the help!!

Hi. I've been looking to do the same thing with changing the order of the sign up fields, but I can't seem to locate account_details.php. Is there anywhere else the code for it might be? Maybe I have an older version?

[Guest]

account_details.php is in catalog/includes/modules

[Guest]

That file doesn't exist in any directories I have. Is it possible I have an older version or something?

[Guest]

Which version are you using?

[Guest]

I have a question about switching the order of the items. I am in the process of adding a second address line - and am having trouble getting the values of the second to appear when I do the following:

 

I am in checkout shipping and I choose to change my address.

I am shown all my addresses from my address book.

Formatted as follows:

Name, Address1, City, Zip, State, Country

 

I want:

Name, Address1, Address2, City, Zip, State, Country

 

I tried adjusting includes/functions/general.php - and adjusting the values in the address format table. But netiher have seemed to work.

 

Any suggestions?

[Guest]

Hope this helps other people:

 

These are the files I had to change in order to adjust the address order and adding a new address line (I'm sure this list isn't complete, but it's a good start)

 

catalog/...

create_account.php

create_account_process.php

account.php

checkout_shipping.php

checkout_payment_address.php

modules/checkout_new_address.php

checkout_confirmation.php

order.php

general.php

 

admin/...

general.php

- be sure to add $street2 = $streets2 (to match your db)

classes/order.php

admin/customers.php

 

 

Check all files named order.php

 

remember to add your new fields to all your db tables.

Especially be sure to change the address_format table

 

example: to add an extra address line change

$streets$cr$city

$streets$cr$streets2$cr$city

 

Note: $cr - is a carriage return, or line break

 

Good luck.
