Question

I have created a new attribute ‘county’ in customer address. It is working fine and I am able to save values in this field from the frontend.

I want this field available in address of orders.
So I have added a column ‘county’ in the tables

‘sales_flat_quote_address’ and ‘sales_flat_order_address’

Then I have modified Sales/etc/config.xml to include this field in fieldsets. I have added entries for this field in

sales_copy_order_billing_address,
sales_copy_order_shipping_address,
sales_convert_quote_address,
sales_convert_order_address,
customer_address

But when I do onepage checkout, the value in this field is not copied to the address in orders. I am selecting an existing address with value in this field during checkout for billing and shipping address.

Right now, I have not edited any template file in checkout to include this field. But as I am selecting an existing address, this shouldn’t be causing the problem, right ?

I am using magento 1.5.1.0. While I know php well, I am kind of a newbie in magento.

I have checked the question Magento: save custom address attribute in checkout and have done everything as given in the answer.

Have I missed out something. If so, please provide your suggestion.
Thanks.

Answer 1

I have got it working. I did not have to add anything else.

The problem was that, I had copied config.xml from app/code/core/Mage/Sales/etc to app/code/local/Mage/Sales/etc and made my changes in the new one.

When I made the changes in the original config.xml file itself and tested, the custom field value was copied to the order address on checkout.

Thanks.
