seller phone number from registration

i collect phone number when a seller registers, in my case the phone number key is 'phone2'.
but then when the seller post an Ad i have another listing field also has a key 'phone2' , i want to make the default value of phone number field be the registration phone number. i tried using this smarty variable {$seller_info.phone2} and {$seller_info.phone2.value} none of them work in the post ad page.
can you please tell me what variable should i be using for that ??? :blink:

any help with this please ?

is it possible to have to keys exactly the same ? usually if you try and create a duplicate key you get a warning. ? are you sure they are not one of the same thing ?

no it doesn't create error because one for listing field and one for registration field

Hi Victor,
i dont want to change the intallation files, if i upgrade i will loose those changes. all i need is the variable used te collect registration phone number
if my phone number key from registration is 'phone2' what the smarty variable would be ?? i dont need instrutions on how to modify the template. just the variable.

as i said i tried {$seller_info.phone2.value} but it didn't work.

Hi Victor,

can you please answer this question ?

try {$seller_info|@print_r}

if the field in there it should apear

thank you Mustafa but that didn't work

just so you know i store the phone number as field type 'number' not 'phone' .

Hello Mustafa,

try to use: $_SESSION['account']['phone2'];

Ok viktor that did not work
i am trying to do the change in field.tpl by changing this line of code

Code:

---

Only registered members can view the code.

i thought this will work by change value ="06" to value="{$seller_info.phone2.value}" but {$seller_info.phone2.value} comes empty in field.tpl.

i also tried your suggestion $_SESSION['account']['phone2'] and this didnt work either this looks like a variable that can be used in php files not smarty tpl, i could be wrong.

why is this so difficult ?

Hello Samir,

I suggest you create a new ticket. We will solve it there.

i dont think this should be a ticket, this is not a technical issue, this question is more like knowledge base that can help anybody who is using this forum. but i will write a ticket anyway. thanks
