Changing auth.tpl question

[senses]

Hi,

I know this has been discussed before but I have not had a reply to my question, then noticed the original poster has been inactive since August last year.

 

My question relates to adding Mrs and Miss to the customer registration files. I have the codes to add these fields but my question to the original poster was "will adapting and adding the additional status fields interfere with a current database" ?

Or

Will it just add to the database field whichever the customer selects?

 

I do not want to adapt the source code if it is going to mess up the existing database. It goes without saying I will back up the database before I do anything.

 

Can anyone help please :-)

The title field is actually used to capture the gender (male or female). The database does not actually store the "Title", it stores 1 for male, 2 for female and 9 for unknown.

So you can add additional titles and then just set the value accordingly.

Ok thanks I can see what you are saying hence the icons male female on your customer list, ok cheers I will give it a go. Actually I will just change Mr & Ms to Male Female :-) Thank you for your reply
