how to add the address fields in the customer registration form?

I am using magento 1.6. And I want to display the address fields on the customer registration form. I remove the following lines from the register.phtml but it did not work.

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

So what should I do?

go to : app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/local.xml

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

Register.phtml app/design/frontend/base/default/template/customer/form/register.phtml

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

The show_address_fields attribute is intended to be set in your theme via layout XML.

In your theme's local.xml, add the following lines (before </layout>):

<customer_account_create>
  <reference name="customer_form_register">
    <action method="setShowAddressFields"><value>1</value></action>
  </reference>
</customer_account_create>

If you don't have a customized theme but a bought one, you should create a child theme for customizations like this.

Example

For the Ultimo theme, the theme resides in app/design/frontend/ultimo/default (Ultimo is the "package", "default" the theme).

You should then create the directory app/design/frontend/ultimo/yourname/layout and add a file local.xml there:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout>
  <customer_account_create>
    <reference name="customer_form_register">
      <action method="setShowAddressFields"><value>1</value></action>
    </reference>
  </customer_account_create>
</layout>

Then configure the custom theme:

IF you are using magento 1.6 or above, and simply commenting following in customers/form/register.phtml

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

is not working then possibly you have active the persistent cart. In that case you need to comment the same lines in persistent/customer/form/register.phtml and it will work for you. Don't forget to comment the same above code from the script on the end of the same page, which is for Region Updater.
