I've succesfully managed to add custom fields to the customer. However I need these fields to show up in onepage checkout.
I've overridden Mage_Customer_Block_Widget_Name
and created my own customer/widget/name.phtml
, added the attributes in the sql/xxx_setup/installer-x.y.z.php
(added them to adminhtml_customer
, customer_account_edit
, checkout_register
and customer_account_create
) and they work fine in the admin site, however they just wont work on the checkout form. The field shows up, but it has the wrong value and no label.
I'm clueless why does it work in the customer registration form but doesn't in the checkout.
The installer code to add the attribute is:
$attributes = array(
'lastname2' => array(
'frontend_label'=>'Apellido Materno',
'label' => 'Apellido Materno',
'input' => 'text',
'type' => 'varchar',
//System = False and visible true = Show in 'customer_account_create', 'customer_account_edit', 'checkout_register'
'system'=>true,
'visible'=>true, //Watch out!! Only visible fields get processed by the form controllers!!!
'user_defined'=>false,
'used_in_forms' => array('adminhtml_customer', 'customer_account_edit', 'checkout_register','customer_account_create'),
'required' => 0,
'position' =>69
));
foreach($attributes as $attribute_code=>$definition)
{
$installer->addAttribute('customer', $attribute_code, $definition);
/**
* @var Mage_Eav_Model_Config
*/
Mage::getSingleton('eav/config')
->getAttribute('customer', $attribute_code)
->setData('used_in_forms',$definition['used_in_forms'])
->save();
}
The code in name.phtml is

'frontend_label'=>'Apellido Materno'
it is the same aslabel
. What do you mean by "the wrong value"? Change the attribute system to 0 and check in the backend, what the label is on the customer page. And check theeav_attribute
andcustomer_eav_attribute
for the attribute. Does it exist? Theoretically the label should be used, if you don't define a storeView label, but in my experience, sometimes it doesn't. So fix this error or define a storeview label.frontend_label
. By wrong value I mean it shows me the value oflastname
, notlastname2
. The attribute is set tosystem=>yes
so it wont show automatically on the forms wherever it wants to, but rather where I manually put it (yes I triedvisible=>no
, but then it doesn't get processed). The attribute does exist, it works fine in the customer registration and in the customer admin panel. It just wont work in the onepage checkout. My gut feeling is that I need to add that attribute to another entity as well (I tried to add it tocustomer/address
but it didnt work either)
