Change an Address Alias Field From Text Input to Checkbox

[drchad]

Hi there,

 

I was wondering if someone with more technical knowledge can help me out. I'd like to switch the following field in the address page:

 

 

Please assign an address title for future reference. *

 

 

I'd like to change it from a text input field to a checkbox field with two unchecked boxes, whereby the customer can only choose "home" or "business" (obviously not both). I was altering address.tpl in my theme but I couldn't quite get it working correctly so I was hoping someone with experience could share their knowledge. 

 

Thank you in advance!

Completely untested.

This should give the options Home and Business. With both label and value translatable.

<!--<label for="alias">{l s='Please assign an address title for future reference.'} <sup>*</sup></label>-->
<!--<input type="text" id="alias" class="is_required validate form-control" data-validate="{$address_validation.alias.validate}" name="alias" value="{if isset($smarty.post.alias)}{$smarty.post.alias}{elseif isset($address->alias)}{$address->alias|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}{elseif !$select_address}{l s='My address'}{/if}" />-->
<span>{l s='Please assign an address title for future reference.'} <sup>*</sup></span>
<label for="alias_home"> {l s='Home'}</label>
<input type="radio" id="alias_home" class="is_required validate form-control" data-validate="{$address_validation.alias.validate}" name="alias" value="{l s='Home'}" />
<label for="alias_business"> {l s='Business'}</label>
<input type="radio" id="alias_business" class="is_required validate form-control" data-validate="{$address_validation.alias.validate}" name="alias" value="{l s='Business'}" />

Slightly more tested then the other code.

Old code did not select Home / Business when modifying an address.

Tested on English only, don't know if translated works.

            <!--<label for="alias">{l s='Please assign an address title for future reference.'} <sup>*</sup></label>-->
            <!--<input type="text" id="alias" class="is_required validate form-control" data-validate="{$address_validation.alias.validate}" name="alias" value="{if isset($smarty.post.alias)}{$smarty.post.alias}{elseif isset($address->alias)}{$address->alias|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}{elseif !$select_address}{l s='My address'}{/if}" />-->
            {if isset($smarty.post.alias)} {assign var="alias_var" value=$smarty.post.alias}
            {elseif isset($address->alias)} {assign var="alias_var" value={$address->alias|escape:'html':'UTF-8'[spam-filter]
            {/if}
            {assign var="alias_home" value={l s='Home'[spam-filter]
            {assign var="alias_business" value={l s='Business'[spam-filter]
            <span>{l s='Please assign an address title for future reference.'} <sup>*</sup></span><br>
            <label for="alias_home"> {l s='Home'}</label>
            <input type="radio" id="alias_home" class="is_required validate form-control" data-validate="{$address_validation.alias.validate}" name="alias" {if $alias_var == $alias_home} checked="checked" {/if} value="{l s='Home'}" />
            <label for="alias_business"> {l s='Business'}</label>
            <input type="radio" id="alias_business" class="is_required validate form-control" data-validate="{$address_validation.alias.validate}" name="alias" {if $alias_var == $alias_business} checked="checked" {/if} value="{l s='Business'}" />

If modifying an old address, saved under an alternate name. Customer's might still save it without setting Home / Business
