[TYPO3-commerce] additional address form fields

[Mario Hinterreiter]

Although I reply to a bit older message it seems not to be solved yet.

I also want to add some fields to the adress form, and I've got a solution
how to get them into correct order. Normaly new fields appear at the end of
the form because they are just added to an existing php-array ($fieldList),
so we just have to clear the array first and define all fields again in the
order we want.

To clear the array just add this line TS into the setup:
plugin.tx_commerce_pi3.billing.sourceFields >

To define the fields again just copy the according TS-code from
static/setup.txt into your setup, and add the fields you want to:
plugin.tx_commerce_pi3.billing.sourceFields.name.mandatory = 1
plugin.tx_commerce_pi3.billing.sourceFields.surname.mandatory = 1
and so on ...

Unfortunately the other problem mentioned below, that the language-labels
for 'title' and 'description' get overwritten with 'billing_title' and
'billing_description', still exists.

Has anyone an elegant way how to work around this?

cheers, mario
