Address Custom Fields not coming up in checkout

Hi,
I have a few custom fields set up for the address table.
I would like them to appear in the checkout page where the user select which address they want to use for shipping.
1 - Why doesn't is come up?
2 - How can I get it to display the address custom fields in the checkout?
3 - Can I set custom fields only for shipping address?

Thanks

Hi,

The custom field should be configured to be displayed on the front-end.
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/i...shop-field-form.html

After that, the address is generally "compiled" into a block, thanks to the view "address_template".
So if you did not modify your address template to display the field data in the address block, you can just see the front-end custom field when editing the address.

Regards,

I see, so I can include whichever fields I want in the address_template. Good.

Also related to address, when I submit an order the email order does not use the shipping address I selected. It uses just the billing address even though I selected a different shipping address.
It seems to be just a problem with the email template as it saves the correct information in the DB.

It might have something to do with the fact that I don't have any shipping method as I use it for quotes.

Is there any chance the email system is looking for a shipping method in order to include the shipping address?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, that's because you removed the shipping view from your checkout workflow.
A shipping method is necessary to display to the customer the shipping address in emails/invoices

If you want to change that, you can edit the emails via the menu System>Emails and change the line:
} elseif(!empty($data->order_shipping_id) && !empty($data->cart->shipping_address) && !empty($data->cart->fields)) {
to:
} elseif(!empty($data->cart->shipping_address) && !empty($data->cart->fields)) {
in the "preload" area of your order notification emails.

Hi,
Thanks nicolas. That did the trick.

Cheers
