Hello Pro, and thank you for your help.
Unfortunately it's not necessary to me.
I'm searching a solution for customer registration , not for products customization. Maybe someone have a solution?

You can do this with a little jquery and css


something like this

<?php if (JRequest::getVar('addrtype')=='BT')   {
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$document->addScriptDeclaration("
   jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
   $('.text1').hide();
      $('.button1').click(function () {
$('text1').show('slow');
});
   });
");
}
?>

<?php if (JRequest::getVar('addrtype')=='BT')   {
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$document->addScriptDeclaration("
   jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
   $('.text2').hide();
      $('.button2').click(function () {
$('text2').show('slow');
});
   });
");
}
?>

I do a little something like this in my checkout for guest checkout, to hide password and username fields, when they click a "guest" button

You just have to add the html


views/user/edit_address_userfields.php

If radio selection is "buttonradio" with two options, "private" and "business" and the two fields are "privatename" (to show if radio selection is "private") and "businessname" (to show if radio selection is "business").
Can you kindly explain how to configure the code you have posted before? thanks in advance, thanks thanks thanks!!

You have to add a class to the button.

For yours, if you want to actually use the "custom fields" like dropdown etc. You are going to have to change the selector

like i do this for payment method page
$('input:#payment_id_11').show('slow);
