Add fields to Shipping Address
 

I need to add a: "First Name & Last Name" text field to my shipping address at my register page.

I looked in my general setting> profile options but in my Shipping Address, I see that the first name and last name fields are not displayed.

At the bottom of the page their is an Additional fields area that allows me to add text areas but I am alittle confused on what you type in; what is the Variants for Select box type?

Also, when I look at my "register_shipping_address.tpl" file i noticed that their is a: (code located below)
{$lng.lbl_first_name}:
{$lng.lbl_last_name}:

So it looks to my like the first name and last name fields are pre built-in as default but I my admin setting I cannot find nod to select it to display.

Currently I have the following fields display in my register:

Address1
Address2
City
State
Zip

I need:

First Name
Last Name
Address1
Address2
City
State
Zip

Please post your EXACT version in your signature. (i.e. 4.0.17). Can't help you without it.

my version is 4.0.16

Can someone tell me how to add a (First Name & Last Name) fields to my shipping address.

Also, in my register_shipping_address.tpl file I noticed that their is a code
that does call the a shipping addres (first name & last name).

Does someone know how to do this?



(4.0.16v)

Just remove the surrounding {if} statement on the first and last name fields:

{if $default_fields.firstname.avail eq 'Y'} {/if}

I tried removing the if tags like you mentioned but once I did that I recieved a smarty error.

You need to make sure to remove the correct tags so you don't break an {if} statement. Both the opening and closing tags need to be removed or commented out.

I commented out and removed all the if tags and when i refreshed the page, it loaded but the first name and last name fields dont show.

In my admin > user profile options

It looks like I can add fields, what do you type in the varients for select box?

Ex. Variants for Select box type (use ';' symbol as variants delimiter): a

Don't put anything in the variants box unless you want it to be a drop-down list.

Once you add a field to the shipping address "First Name" and "Last Name", does someone know what the language variable name is so I can call those fields in my invoice and etc?

Ex:
$lng.txt...
$lng.lbl...

I added the FIrst Name and Last Name fields to the Shipping Address you you mentioned bailor and it worked.

The problem is that by default the s_firstname and s_lastname fields are filled out by the values of the lastname and the firstname fields. And i need the s_firstname & s_lastname to use their own fields. Can someone tell me how to change those in my register_shipping_address.tpl file.

Do you have some sort of 'easy checkout' mod installed? The default the s_firstname and s_lastname fields are filled out by the customer unless the template has been modified.

Take a look at this mod to get a seperate billing name. I have applied it to 4.0.14 and it works great.
