Adding Billing address not possible from back end.

-- HikaShop version -- : 4.3.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.9.20
-- PHP version -- : 7.3
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : chrome

This problem exist for years and I am curious why nobody fixed this as yet.
When I try to edit Delivery or Billing address from back-end I can add only Delivery address. Adding Billing address is not working as address will land on Delivery side anyway.

Hi,

I don't know of such problem. Are your talking about adding new addresses in the user manager ?
Or maybe you're talking about editing the billing address of an order ?
Or you're talking about selecting a billing address from the user of an order when the order doesn't have any billing address ?
Could you please provide some step by step instructions on how to reproduce the problem ?

Sure, quick scenario.
1. We have user in the shop without Any address added.
2. Go to the Administrator/HikoShop/Customers and try to add Billing address
Always this address is added to the Shipping, so finally there is no way to create Billing address for such a user.

Hello,

We followed your directions and everything works as expected, and we were able to add only a billing address.
From this, this issue must come from somewhere, but to understand to progress on this subject can you precise if you see this on several website ? Or only one ? Did you process some test with Joomla debug mode (development level) ?

Awaiting elements to be able to progress on your subject.
Regards

Hi Philip
I have only one website which is an update of the previous one. On old and on new I have the same problem. I think there might be some old files used in previous and new template. If I look into template files, Hika related are from even 2017. Any idea how to clean this up?

Hi,

We got your access. However, there must be a problem with the access as I'm not able to access the backend with it.
Could you please double check it ?

Sorry, wrong rights. Try again.

Hi,

Thanks. I was able to access it and found what was the problem.
It actually comes from a popup conflict between the billing and the shipping address edition due to the way the bootstrap popup system works.
To circumvent that, I've changed the "popup mode" setting of the HikaShop configuration to "vex".
That's actually the default when you install HikaShop and with next version of HikaShop we're actually removing that option to always use vex as it displays the same as the others, but works better on mobile devices and Joomla 4 and avoid compatibility problems with some templates.

Perfect, I have changed this and now all is ok. Thanks!
