Modifying the Account template to expose misc01 will be described.

  2. Locate the HTML element <fieldset> where the misc01 field will be displayed on the Account page.
  3. In the fieldset, add the appropriate HTML elements <li> and <label>.
  4. Move the element '<input type="hidden" name="misc01" value="##Fmisc01#"/>' after the <label>.
  5. Change 'type="hidden"' to 'type="text"'.
  6. Save the file 
<input type="hidden" name="misc01" value="##Fmisc01#"/>
becomes
<li>
    <label for="accountMisc01">Address Line</label>
    <input id="accountMisc01" type="text" name="misc01" value="##Fmisc01#"/>
