2- i need that custom fields appear in template/clientareacontacts.tpl and i need that custom field client can fill only once after that only can view.

Edit clientareacontacts.tpl and locate the foreach that iterates all custom fields.

Inside this foreach put a simple if condition that skips the iteration ({continue} should work fine) when your "special" custom field ID is found.

This is the easiest way I can think. The most elegant way would be with an action hook that removes the custom fields directly from the array.

Really i dont have idea how do it. when put custom field code on clientareacontacts.tpl nothing happned it only work if i use it on clientareadetails.tpl

with this code clients can view only for now..  but is not so much elegant and it required admin fill from Admin panel,  will be good if client can fill once 

  {if $customfields}
                        <div class="tab-pane fade{if !$domain && !$moduleclientarea && !$configurableoptions} in active{/if} text-center" id="additionalinfo">
                            {foreach from=$customfields item=field}
                                <div class="row">
                                    <div class="col-sm-5">
                                        <strong>{$field.name}</strong>
                                    </div>
                                    <div class="col-sm-7 text-left">
                                        {$field.value}

                                    </div>
                                </div>
                            {/foreach}<br>

                        </div>
                    {/if}

as Kian hints at, the usual way would be to allow them to enter the value during ordering/registration, but then make it the field read only in clientareadetails.

clientareacontacts.tpl wouldn't have a customfields array by default... it has cf values of the client, but no customfield name against the values... you'd likely end up having to use a hook to query the db to create the array if you need to do this.

you can't loop through an array if it doesn't exist. 😀

you can make the fields readonly on clientareadetails, but that's because the customfields array exists and you can modify it.
