I have hikashop user registration turned on. When user registers the default fields are (Name,username,Email,password and confirm password). I wanted to add only one field mobile number. How can i achive this? I don't want to activate user address, which has a long list of all items. I just want to add one field mobile number. How to do this?

I did what you have mentioned.
1. Turn back on the "ask address on registration" option of the configuration
2. menu Display>Custom fields and disable all the address fields except the telephone one -http://prntscr.com/5oxiu7
3. However in the result i have complete address -http://prntscr.com/5oxjjd

Thanks it was a cache issue...

It is working fine now. However there are two issues
1. The mandatory field asterisk is too far and is not apparent
2. There is this Address information , is it possible to remove the address information header or change it.

Also i make contact number mandatory now , what happens to the users who are already registered with us? Will the system ask them to fill the details next time they login or they will not be asked.
I would prefer not bothering existing users with their contact number

Hi,

1. It seems to be a template issue, a link to the page could help us
2. You can do a translation override on the key: "ADDRESS_INFORMATION".

3. The system will not ask them to fill the details. They will be asked only if they edit their current informations.

Xavier , thanks for your help. Everything is in place.

Hi,

You have to edit/remove the css property on the class ".hikashop_field_required" in the hikashop frontend css file.
This file can be edited via the menu Configuration > Display > CSS > Frontend css file.

I'm also in need similar feature. I unpublished the address fields which I don't want displayed on the registration page & its no longer displaying. My present challenge with this method is, those fields no longer displays in the user Cpanel when the user is logged on & therefore when a customer orders an item & wants to Checkout, they are not able to fill in their billing & shipping address in the checkout page becasuse the field is turned off.
Pls help me with another method to make this possible.
In summary, what I need is
I need all other address fields excluding the phone no field turned off in the registration page so that I can send a welcome message to my new user via SMS. At the same time, I want the fields to be available in the user CPanel or Checkout page where their address & name will be required.
Expecting your reply. Thanks

Yea, thanks for your reply.
That's the setting I've been using for the past 8 months. My only challenge with it is that Acysms only uses phone no in address field for sending user registration Sms.
Incase you know any work around for it, I'd appreciate if you can help me with it.
Also, is there a way I can auto update the address phone_no field with the custom user phone_no field I created via Cron. The last time I tried doing it, I lost some of the phone no's.
Expecting your reply. Thanks

Okay, thanks Nicholas. Pls help me add a conditional statement to the code above
What i mean is, For cases where the Address Field Phone No Column is already filled with a phone number, I'd like this query to skip those columns. It should only update empty Columns.

Also, just to confirm again. Is it a double underscore i will use after filling my table prefix before the hikashop like the one i bracketed here (__)hikashop_address?
Sorry for troubling you but i'm not good at coding but will really love to learn it. Expecting your reply. Thanks
