adding new custom fields into order address form

[oren22a]

hello guys,

new to prestashop

using currently 1.7.7.0

i need a bit of assitance or direction and will appreciate any help!

 

i would like to add new fields to the order address part.

i saw the usage of Localization -> countries and picking which fields to use there

but i want to add more fields such as street, house num, floor etc, instead of just having address1 as a single address textbox.

later on, these fields should also apear on the order info in the back office as well (just like the other address fields)

i have already added the new fields into ps_address table,

following a small guide i found ialtered file Address.php in classes folder, the definition part:

public static $definition = [
        'table' => 'address',
        'primary' => 'id_address',
        'fields' => [

 

i added my fields here at the end and later on site got error 500, so i obviously missing some more modifications in order to make it work.

for now i undo my changes.

will appreciate any help, assitance of guiding on this matter.

 

thanks!

ok a small update!

editing the file again, not leaving a "," in the wrong place. result in a working site again!

 

now i noticed:

1. i cant mark these fields as "required" in Customer -> address -> mandatory fields (they dont even apear there)

2. the order save the fields to DB now, but when order is completed (Cash on delivery method) i get a 500 error (yet i see fields in the db) - order is in db, and in cms as well.

3. CMS order info page or customer-> address page doesnt show the fields at all.

 

any hint which my next files to modify are?

 

thanks!
