Add Mobile Attribute to Customer Account

Posted on January 21, 2015 | Magento 1

The following instructions will add a new customer attribute called Mobile. This attribute will be added to the Customer information only, it will not be added to the Customer Address.

Apologies for the pastebin links, my syntax highlighter is currently out of action.

Create the following files:

app/code/local/PaulDonnelly/Mobile/etc/config.xml
app/code/local/PaulDonnelly/Mobile/Helper/Data.php
app/code/local/PaulDonnelly/Mobile/sql/mobile_setup/mysql4-install-0.1.0.php
app/etc/modules/PaulDonnelly_Mobile.xml

Add the following content to files:

app/code/local/PaulDonnelly/Mobile/etc/config.xml

See for content: http://pastebin.com/8xeFPJFh

app/code/local/PaulDonnelly/Mobile/Helper/Data.php

See for content: http://pastebin.com/dTvc1qMW

app/code/local/PaulDonnelly/Mobile/sql/mobile_setup/mysql4-install-0.1.0.php

See for content: http://pastebin.com/VXq0LY7M

app/etc/modules/PaulDonnelly_Mobile.xml

See for content: http://pastebin.com/9DFdRnuL

Once you have uploaded these files and clear your cache you will notice a new Mobile input field available in the customer admin section (Customers/Manage Customers/Click Customer/Click Account Information).

Mobile Number is now added to the customer account.

Adding Mobile to Customer Account Edit Form.

Create/Edit: app/design/frontend/yourpackage/yourtheme/template/customer/form/edit.phtml

Insert the above code around line 46 before

$_dob = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('customer/widget_dob');

Adding Mobile to Customer Registration form.

See for Content: http://pastebin.com/mzdFQCbp

Insert the above code around line 57 before

$_dob = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('customer/widget_dob')

You and your customers should now be able to add/edit their mobile number.
