Hi Sandy,
   to add markers to the trade extension, you will need to modify the
method getProductMarkers in the main pi1 class (and add the markers to
your templates, and add to database via kickstarter).
If you are unable to edit your additional fields in the back end.
  - did you add the fields using the kickstarter so that appropriate TCA
meta data is available for your additional field (be careful when saving
your changes not to overwrite the main php pi1 class.
  - do you mark your additional fields as exclude fields  in which case
you need to assign the exclude fields as editable to your backend usergroup.

hope that helps

cheers
