Additional information form

I need to collect additional information from the customers after or during purchasing an alarm system like ( 3 contact names and phone numbers, Panic Password and more.
I see that I can customize the form, but I'm not sure what part of the form should I add these fields since I need them after purchasing.

again thank you for help..

You can create custom fields in the table "order", they will be displayed in the checkout workflow only.

Ok I made a custom field ITEM that show perfectly like I need it, but only show up under full disription not when in category or in any modules, what am I doing wrong here please see attached images

The custom fields keep disappearing from both category and product pages on and off, I deleted and re indexed the items changed categories, no changes the same problem, this was working for couple of weeks and just started doing that again Links:
www.websurveillance.com/index.php/hikash...for-products-listing
www.websurveillance.com/index.php/hikash...r-window-transmitter

The custom field seems to be displayed in the listing.
For the product page are you sure that you haven't removed the code which display the custom field ? in the view "product / show_tabular"

Please see attached images, where always the first item has no (Custom Field)but all the other does, but when you click on any item the (Custom Field) disappear,
also please advice how to make the blue are in items wider. (see item.png)

Here is the script from show_tabular:

Could you give us a screenshot of your custom field configuration ?

see attached image

Try to remove the limit ("Display limited to" option).

You restrict it to a category, that's maybe why the first product of the listing don't have the custom field. Is the product in the category "Honeywell Accessories" ?

I changed the category to main category instead subcategory, now it shows in related products but not when you open item

Do you have removed the value for the "Display limited to" option ?

If you set a default value (temporary) is it displayed on the product page ? Try to add "echo $this->element->addzone;" in the view "product / show_tabular" and see if there is a value.
