Ubercart Addresses

freixas - May 26, 2008 - 21:12

The uc_addresses module adds support for one or more addresses in the user's profile. When users register, you can require that they provide an address. Users can then add more addresses and edit or delete existing addresses. One address is always designated as the default address and cannot be deleted (but it can be edited). Users can optionally name each address (e.g. "work", "mary", "joe").

The Ubercart order process is altered so that users select delivery and billing addresses from their collection of addresses rather than from previous orders. You can ask the module to automatically fill in the billing and/or the delivery address with the user's default address. Any new addresses entered during the order process are automatically added to the user's list.

Some of the features listed are available only in the 5.x-2.2 release.

Note: 5.x-2.2 is probably the last 5.x release (barring security problems).

Note: There is a bug in the checkout form of the 6.x release: if you try to change the country and zone, you will receive a warning and the country/zone will not be valid. Repeat and it will work. I have not been able to fix this bug. Until (and unless) someone provides a fix, there will not be a 6.x-1.0 release. If you don't sell internationally, the dev release should work well.

Announcement: Need Views support? Thanks to the work of madsph, you can integrate uc_addresses with Views by adding his uc_views module.

Note: Due to other demands for my time and the fact that I don't personally need this module right now, the module is not getting the attention it deserves. I hope that this feature becomes part of core in the next major Ubercart release. Until then, if anyone would like to be a co-developer, let me know. You would pretty much be in charge of fixes and testing, and I would review the changes.

If no one volunteers, then the best way to get a bug resolved will be to also include a patch. Not a programmer? Feel free to hire one. :-)
