Adding a custom field to registration form on checkout

  • Hello guys,

    I ran into a problem with adding a custom field to the registration form on the woocommerce checkout form. On the registration form on my-account page I have everything in place and working, but I don’t get it to work on the checkout page. I succeeded with getting a custom field showing up by overriding the woocommerce tamplate (I know, bad practice), but I didn’t succeed with saving the value in the database. Again, on my-account page evrything is working with simillar code.

    What I tried is the following code:

    add_action(‘woocommerce_checkout_update_user_meta’, my_custom_checkout_field_update_user_meta’);
    function my_custom_checkout_field_update_user_meta( $user_id ) {
    if ($user_id && $_POST[‘group_id’]) {
    $wpdb->insert(
    ‘wp_groups_user_group’,
    array( ‘user_id’ => $user_id, ‘group_id’ => $_POST[‘group_id’] ),
    array( ‘%s’, ‘%s’ )
    );
    }
    }

    As you can see, it supposed to add the user to a group. However, the code is not working… It gives an internal error(from woocommerce) and the user gets registered assigned to the wrong group.

    Okay, stupid me that was using the wrong hook and that forgot to call $wpdb. Problem solved, here is the code that worked:

    add_action(‘woocommerce_created_customer’, my_custom_checkout_field_update_user_meta’);
    function my_custom_checkout_field_update_user_meta( $user_id ) {
    if ($user_id && $_POST[‘group_id’]) {
    global $wpdb;
    $wpdb->insert(‘wp_groups_user_group’,array( ‘user_id’ => $user_id, ‘group_id’ => $_POST[‘group_id’] ),array( ‘%s’, ‘%s’ ));
    }
    }
