Hi guys, I've had a bit of a search but found nothing, so hoping this is going to be an easy thing to do.

I have set up a bunch of profile fields for my users, including address info etc... which I would love to have auto-populate the billing information fields during checkout - it seems like it would be a time saver for my shoppers who are registered on the site.

Any thoughts or ideas on this? Should it be in the brainstorming section or is it already available and I'm missing something?

Cheers again

Re: Re: Auto populating delivery information from profile info?

One of the problems your going to face is that there are quite a few way to do profiles (core module, user node module, profile node module and bio module), so it would be hard to create a generic import system.

That said, i will spend an hour or 3 looking at this over the next few weeks for the bio module, so who knows.

Re: Re: Re: Auto populating delivery information from profile in

A custom solution for your site would be a simple matter of using hook_form_alter() to fill in default values from a user's profile on the checkout form. This requires some PHP/module building knowledge, but it'll be faster than coming up with a generic, widely-usable solution.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Auto populating delivery information from profil

Thanks guys - I will do some reading and pester a mate who's good with PHP to see if I can come up with a way to sort it - just really want to streamline the buying process for my customers as much as I possibly can...

Thanks again

Steve

Re: Auto populating delivery information from profile info?

Check out http://www.ubercart.org/forum/development/1524/storing_address_informati... it may have information about what you're looking for.

Although Ryan's idea seems like it's workable as well.

Good Luck.

Ubercart Addresses Module helped me

During check out in billing and delivery information, I wanted to show the data of personal information and address I was collecting on User Registration page. And I could achieve it using http://drupal.org/project/uc_addresses .
It's working very nicely for me. Additionally offering functionality to create multiple address (a plus for client) is also great.

P.S. : I know you would have solved your problem, this is just for the information who might land up on this page searching for the same. Smiling
