What dose $lastnameAddress and $firstnameAddress mean ?

[ed0522]

$lastnameAddress = Tools::getValue('lastname');

$firstnameAddress = Tools::getValue('firstname');

$_POST['lastname'] = Tools::getValue('customer_lastname', $lastnameAddress);

$_POST['firstname'] = Tools::getValue('customer_firstname', $firstnameAddress);

and from which file did you copy this from?

[ed0522]

from authController.php

There are 3 possible customer names for an order

1) The actual customer name

2) The name of the person who will receive the order (shipping address customer name)

3) The name of the person who is paying for the order (billing/invoice address customer name)

 

In most cases these are all the same, however they do not have to be and they can all be different.

 

So to answer your question, when a customer registers and you configure the store to register an address on account creation, Prestashop copies the customer name to the address record.
