Shopper Fields Description not showing

[ash]

I need to add a shopper field description to one of the fields but it does not show. It strips the html so I added it manually to the database but it still does not show. Is there a setting to show the shopper fields  descriptions, or does it simply not work.

I've tried everything i know (what is not much) and can't make it work neither.

help will be apreciated!!

I have this problem too... it would appear that like many things virtuemart and especially shopper fields that it simply just does not work

I have fixed this in my files to make the description show.

First go to on administrator\components\com_virtuemart\models\userfields.php

change

Code Select Expand

$_return['fields'][$_fld->name] = array(

     'name' => $_prefix . $_fld->name

,'value' => (($_userData == null || !array_key_exists($_fld->name, $_userData))

? $_fld->default

: @$_userData[$_fld->name])

,'title' => JText::_($_fld->title)

,'type' => $_fld->type

,'required' => $_fld->required

,'hidden' => false

,'formcode' => ''


);

to

Code Select Expand

$_return['fields'][$_fld->name] = array(

     'name' => $_prefix . $_fld->name

,'value' => (($_userData == null || !array_key_exists($_fld->name, $_userData))

? $_fld->default

: @$_userData[$_fld->name])

,'title' => JText::_($_fld->title)

,'type' => $_fld->type

,'required' => $_fld->required

,'hidden' => false

,'formcode' => ''

,'description' => $_fld->description

);


Then go to on  components\com_virtuemart\views\user\tmpl\edit_address_userfields.php

and add

Code Select Expand

$_field['description'] wherever you want it to appear in the view. I have it just after $_field['formcode']
