Please make some clarification to your question. Are you asking that how to place some custom information along with the customer address? There could be two ways to solve this problem

1)- You modify the required table in database, add your new filed to the table. With this approach you need to write custom queries and some data access code to load and save the information in new filed.

2)- We need to find some way so that we can save this information using the standard ablecommerce code and database structure without making and database related customization. If we found some solution then this approach will save us from a lot of hard work. So the below suggested solution will focus on the second approach.

How to add custom information to an address?

The ac_Address table in AbleCommerce contains a field Nickname but this field is not used any where in website code. It means it is something that could be interfaced by user with a little effort. So you can make use of this field to put your custom information. With this approach all you need is to update the address information collector page and save the custom information in the field. With this solution you need two statements one for save and one for load. For example to save info in this field it will be something as below

Code: Select all

address.Nickname = StringHelper.StripHtml(CustomInfo.Text);

and when loading info from database it would be something as below

Code: Select all

CustomInfo.Text = address.Nickname;

Please have a look at the screen shot. Extract the attached compressed file and then place the modified version of EditMyAddressPage.ascx and EditMyAddressPage.ascx.cs files in your conlib folder. Now go to My Account page on store side and edit you addresses.
