Disable editing some address fields in checkout

Hi,

If you want to disable them, you will have to edit the corresponding view and add a check to not call the display function of the field class but directly echo the value of the field.
Actually, a simple way would be to remove the field from the address form in CSS. The field value would still be displayed on the address view if you added it in the "address_template" view file.

The address_template file can only display address fields. You won't be able to add the email address there. Why are you trying to do that ? instead, you should edit the view file where address_template is loaded. There you will be able to load the email address.

You need to edit the file "form" of the view "address"

and add the line:
if($fieldName=='my_skipped_field_column_name') continue;
after:
foreach($this->extraFields as $fieldName => $oneExtraField) {

And do the same in the "custom_fields" file of the view "user".

That way, you can remove the field my_skipped_field_column_name from the address form.

Nothing is impossible, but it's a lot more complex. You would have to hack in the controller to handle saving the user information with the new email address.
And saving that in both the hikashop user table and the joomla user table makes it even more complex.
