This feature should be included in 4.5.3 by default. It is a very important one. QT must consider our request and for the future versions we will avoid such of situations.

@Alex can you do us a favor?

I've informed our staff about this, hope it will appear in the future versions as a standard feature.

Hope 4.5.3 will not be as 4.5.2

Ok so this works fine in 4.5.2 now for me, but I need 2 things:

1) Ability to position fields (including custom ones) ... very sad that QT wants this to be something they charge me hundreds of dollars for

2) Desperately need the ability to IMPORT values into these new extra fields... does anyone know how? The extra fields don't show on Address Book EXPORT so I can't fill them in. And because they are REQUIRED fields I need to manually fill them in for all of our current customers (I know its a lot of work but we have to do it this way)

I just went through this on 4.4.5 and read all of the posts in this thread. Here are my thoughts:

• This has been an omission from 4.4 from the start, over 2 years ago, and should be fixed.
• This should be part of the Address Book import/export.
• All profile fields should have a Position entry.
• The 4.4.5 patch fails on One_Page_Checkout/profile/address_fields.tpl. It seems to be patching a very different version of the file.
• One Page Checkout uses floated list items that are not cleared. This is a layout bug. The best solution is to avoid floats when possible (inline-block is better) to avoid these situations. (26)

Hi,
I want to know that will it work on 4.4.2 Version so that I can try it another of my x-cart? Please reply anyone if it is for 4.4.2 or not?

Thanks to all.

Yes, requested since day one and and how many releases after that - no change. I don't think this will ever be part of XC stock install the way it should be

This feature will be implemented in 4.5.4 version, our developers are currently working on it.

And in the meantime how does one edit these additional fields added to the address book with no import/export option?

Well not sure what this will be in 4.5.4 but for sure it doesn't work well. The code works as it says in the title - additional fields for address book. But without positioning for ALL fields in address book is just almost useless. All of the additonal fields go at the end of the default address book fields. Imagine company field at the end...

I needed to add company field for a customer today who pointed to me this thread - I ended up coding it together with the standard address book fields disregarding the patch here.

Not sure what QT will end up including in 4.5.4 but as I mentioned before - the whole address book feature needs an overhaul and completely new concept.
