IP.Nexus 1.2 Dev Update: Custom Customer Fields

Posted by Mark, in IP.Nexus 02 February 2011 · 440 views

IP.Nexus can ask the customer for various information (like their full name, postal address and phone number) when registering purchasing an item. This information is required for shipping, some payment gateways and the anti-fraud system.
Up until now, these fields were static - only the hard-coded fields were available and you could only specify all or no fields were required at registration or checkout.

In IP.Nexus 1.2, we've made these fields customisable - you can choose which should show where, which should be required and add and reorder fields as you see fit.

This means, that you could, for example, add a "Company" field, which would show alongside the others:

Of course, users can also edit custom fields in the client area, and administrators can edit them from the customer page.
Whenever the details is changed, it is logged to the customer history page as one would expect:

Administrators can also search by custom fields both from the quick-search in the menu, and the main customer search form:

This also means that since existing fields can be edited, you can now reorder or remove options from the "Country" field. You can also specify if "State" should be required or not.




Great idea!  I hope you continue to improve the core of IP.Nexus like this.  Good stuff.  I just got an authorize.net account because of your other IP.Nexus update.  I can't wait to ditch paypal subscriptions.  =)
Thank you :)
Great work!

But from now we cant translate the field titles !?

Say I don't use the country field at all. What about the tax option? How will that work in future?

I like the new feature, though :)

You can edit them to say what you want.

As in the current version, if Nexus needs the country to work out the appropriate tax class, it will ask the user for it, regardless of your settings.
I can't help but think of this little bit from an episode of Duckman...

Great! This is exactly what I needed.

Translating the fields titles would be also important....
This is great, good work
