Suggestion: new functionality to hide shopper fields

[PeterSwe]

Hi,
Sometimes you want to add a shopper field which only admin are allowed to change or see. Today you can hide the field for account maintenance but this also hide it for the admin.
Perhaps something to add for future versions?

In the meantime I would be very glad to get some advice where I can hide these fields in the "Shopper account" and in the BT and ST addresses. Right now I have 6 customer unique fields before the shipmentaddress in the cart.

Thanks,
Peter

the fields are displayed in a loop on (over ride path) html\com_virtuemart\user\edit_address_userfields.php

you could hide them by css ..

Thanks for your answer. I have migrated the shop from 1.1 to 3.0 and in 1.1 I just coded $skipFields[] = [userfield]; in ps_shopper.php and in account.billing.tpl.php I did an array for the fields to skip.
I was thinking doing it in a similar way for these 6 customfiled_id's which I don't want to show. I just don't know where to take care of it.

if you don't mind core hacks

components\com_virtuemart\views\cart\view.html.php ~ line 107

$userFieldsCart = $userFieldsModel->getUserFields(
            'cart'
            , array('captcha' => true, 'delimiters' => true) // Ignore these types
            , array('delimiter_userinfo','user_is_vendor' ,'username','password', 'password2', 'agreed', 'address_type') // Skips
         );

Thanks,
I don't like core hacks but sometimes it's a quick workaround.

Strange, it didn't work for the cart. Only for the order.
