Show Address Fields in Customer Registration - Magento

In order to show address fields in Magento customer registration forms you only need to enable the attribute 
setShowAddressField.

To do so either add the following in your template local.xml(/app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/local.xml):

1 2 3 4 5 6

<customer_account_create>   <reference name="customer_form_register">       <action method="setShowAddressFields">       <param>true</param></action>      </reference> </customer_account_create>

As always, make sure to reload your cache afterwards.

This setting will enable to execution of

1	<?php if($this->getShowAddressFields()): ?>

in register.phtml (/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/customer/form/register.phtml).

Magento Backend Session time settings

This is how to change the session timeout

System > Configuration > Admin > Security

Set your desired session timeout

 

 

 

Next we have to make sure the session cookie doesn’t expire.

System > Configuration > Web > Session Cookie Management

Set the Cookie Lifetime to a larger number.

Done!
