How to add apartment to new account

[Jack_mcs]

I need to add an apartment field to my customer accounts. I've search the contributions but couldn't find anything. I thought to do it myself but from the looks of create_account.php, a change to the database is required to make it work. This is over my head ATM. Does anyone know how to add an apartment field?

you are exactly right, it will require an entry in the sql db. the best way to go about trying to add that field would be to copy how the address field is handled. remember to backup your files and do this in your test environment.

Might I suggest just using plain text and adding apartment number to main address line... this is a simple solution and will NOT require any DB changes

Thought so. But like I said, the whole project is beyond my ability ATM. Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Are you saying to just change

Street Address

to read as

Street Address and Apt #?

That's what I thought you meant. But the page is set up to allow for a certain length of text. Changing Street Address to Street Addess - Apt messes up the alignment of the text boxes. I realize I could go in an add some spacing but that just seems to be making a bad idea worse. I can't believe no one has ran into this problem before. Anyway, I appreciate the replies.
