Step 1: Adding a new field in checkout page’s Billing Address

First you need to add a label and text box to get the ‘Mobile’ Numbers of the customers. To do this Go to app\design\frontend\default\default\template\onestepcheckout\onestep\billing.phtml. Add the following lines of code to display the Field in Billing address.

<?php if (!$this->settings['display_mobile']): ?><li class="fields">

<div class="field">

<label for="billing:mobile" class="required"><em>*</em><?php echo $this->__('Mobile') ?></label>

<div class="input-box">

<input type="text" name="billing[mobile]" value="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($this->getAddress()->getMobile()) ?>" title="<?php echo $this->__('Mobile') ?>" class="input-text required-entry" id="billing:mobile" />

</div>

</div>

</li>

<?php endif; ?>

Step 2: Adding a new field in checkout page’s Shipping Form

 Now in the Billing form ‘Mobile’ field will be displayed. But in case the Shipping Address is different from the billing address your new field ‘Mobile’ won’t get displayed. For that reason we need to add a label and text field in the Shipping form too.

To do this Go to app\design\frontend\default\default\template\onestepcheckout\onestep\shipping.phtml. Add the following lines of code to display the Field in Shipping address.

<?php if (!$this->settings['display_mobile']): ?><li class="fields" >

<div class="field">

<label for="shipping:mobile" class="required"><em>*</em><?php echo $this->__('Mobile') ?></label>

<div>

<input type="text" name="shipping[mobile]" value="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($this->getAddress()->getMobile()) ?>" title="<?php echo $this->__('Mobile') ?>" class="input-text required-entry" id="shipping:mobile" onchange="shipping.setSameAsBilling(false);" />

</div>

</div>

</li>

<?php endif; ?>

Step 3: Upgrading existing one step checkout installation in Magento

Now your new field ‘Mobile’ gets displayed in the front-end. Next you have to configure it to store the value in database and to show the details in admin panel. For this you need to upgrade your ‘config.xml’ file so that you can add your new attribute and new field into the database.

To upgrade our installation Go to app\code\local\Apptha\Onestepcheckout\etc\config.xml and find the following line of code.

<modules><Apptha_Onestepcheckout>

<version>0.1.7</version>

</Apptha_Onestepcheckout>

</modules>

and change the code as

<modules>

<Apptha_Onestepcheckout>

<version>0.1.8</version>

</Apptha_Onestepcheckout>

</modules>

and to show our new custom field in  invoice, manage customers, checkout page add the following lines of code inside <global> </global>

<fieldsets>

<sales_copy_order_shipping_address>

<mobile><to_order>*</to_order></mobile>

</sales_copy_order_shipping_address>

 <sales_convert_quote_address>

 <mobile>

 <to_order_address>*</to_order_address>

<to_customer_address>*</to_customer_address>

</mobile>

</sales_convert_quote_address>

<sales_convert_order_address>

<mobile><to_quote_address>*</to_quote_address></mobile>

</sales_convert_order_address>

<customer_address>

<mobile><to_quote_address>*</to_quote_address></mobile>

</customer_address>

<checkout_onepage_billing>

<mobile><to_customer>*</to_customer></mobile>

</checkout_onepage_billing>

</fieldsets>

Step 4: Adding new attribute and fields in Magento Database

Now your installation is upgraded from version 0.1.7 to version 0.1.8. Next you’ve to add upgraded SQL file to add new attribute and field in database. For that, add a new php file in the following path  app\code\local\Apptha\Onestepcheckout\sql\onestepcheckout_setup\ mysql4-upgrade-0.1.1-0.1.8.php and add the following coding.

mysql4-upgrade-0.1.1-0.1.8.php:

<?php$installer = $this;

$installer->startSetup();

$addressHelper = Mage::helper('customer/address');

$store         = Mage::app()->getStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);

$eavConfig = Mage::getSingleton('eav/config');

// Add custom attribute 'Mobile'

$attributes = array(

'mobile'           => array(

'label'    => 'Mobile',

'frontend_input'    => 'text',

'backend_type'                => 'int',

'is_user_defined'   => 1,

'is_system'         => 0,

'is_visible'        => 1,

'sort_order'        => 130,

'is_required'       => 1,

'multiline_count'   => 0,

'frontend_label'    => 'Mobile',

'validate_rules'    => array(

'max_text_length'   => 12,

'min_text_length'   => 10

),

),

);

foreach ($attributes as $attributeCode => $data) {

$attribute = $eavConfig->getAttribute('customer_address', $attributeCode);

$attribute->setWebsite($store->getWebsite());

$attribute->addData($data);

$usedInForms = array(

'adminhtml_customer_address',

'customer_address_edit',

'customer_register_address'

);

$attribute->setData('used_in_forms', $usedInForms);

$attribute->save();

}

//Add a new field 'mobile' in 'sales_flat_quote_address' and 'sales_flat_order_address' tables

$installer->run("

ALTER TABLE {$this->getTable('sales_flat_quote_address')} ADD COLUMN `mobile` INT(12) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT NULL AFTER `telephone`;

ALTER TABLE {$this->getTable('sales_flat_order_address')} ADD COLUMN `mobile` INT(12) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT NULL AFTER `telephone`;

");

$installer->endSetup();

?>

Step 5: Adding new field details in Invoice, Checkout Page, etc.

Finally log in to your admin panel and go to System/Configuration/Customers/Customer Configuration/Address Template.

In Text Field add this line of code at the end.{{depend mobile}} <br/>Mobile: {{var mobile}}{{/depend}}

In HTML Field add this line of code at the end.

{{depend mobile}}<br/>Mobile:{{var mobile}}{{/depend}}

In PDF Field add this line of code at the end.

{{depend mobile}}<br/>Mobile:{{var mobile}}|{{/depend}}

Now your new field will be displayed in Customer Address, Invoice, Checkout page, etc.
