i would like to add a link right after to the field of the order custom fields. check out the image.

the idea is to have a link that will be a lightbox window with more information about what we are asking for in the field.

should be a core feature :)

anyway for now i just need to make it happen though, any ideas of the easiest way to implement it?

You can go in the menu Display->Views and edit the file custom_fields of the view checkout. There, you can add your help link after the display function call on the custom field.

thanks but how would this work if some are going to need a help link others not.. and the help link is different for each one that has it.

you can easily do that... :

if($fieldName=='my_custom_field_column_name_1'){
echo '<a href="http://helplink1" target="_blank">Help link</a>';
}

if($fieldName=='my_custom_field_column_name_2'){
echo '<a href="http://helplink2" target="_blank">Help link</a>';
}

Thanks,

on the same subject in the view fields of check out the main php code is this

<?php
if(!empty($this->extraFields)){
$this->setLayout('custom_fields');
$this->type = 'order';
echo $this->loadTemplate();
}
?>

i would assume this is loading the fields of the table order. i want to control which field load and which don't in other words i want to know what is the code to echo each field separately. i need them in specific places on the page. and this throws it all in a table.

so
How do i echo 1 field of the table order?

What i want to end up having is a radio box list that when they select their option the correct fields are displayed, when filled and they are submitted normally.

Suppose that your custom field column name is "column_name", you can do like that:

echo $this->fieldsClass->display($this->extraFields,$this->order->column_name,'data[order][column_name]');

is there anything special i need to do in order to have it work normally as it would with the next button and the information being submitted? i want to redesign the whole fields step, i want to comment out this

if(!empty($this->extraFields['order'])){
$this->setLayout('custom_fields');
$this->type = 'order';
echo $this->loadTemplate();
}

and lay them out one by one using the code you provided. would this work?

        ("</div>");


i tested the step with no code and i had the same issue with the flickering in step 4 which becomes step 5 then if i click next again it sends me back to step 2, also i tested it with just one field, and the same issue. the code for that looked like this


echo    
      ("<span id=\"iwant\">I want to</span>"),$this->fieldsClass->display($this->extraFields['order']['activate_iqphone'],$this->order->activate_iqphone,'data[order][activate_iqphone]');


Thank you in advance...

The label can be displayed with:
echo $this->fieldsClass->getFieldName($this->extraFields);

That's because of the check of that custom field type. That's a new type of custom fields that we introduced in last release and there are still some hickups when using it. That's why I recommended you to not use it for now.

The radio check custom field type?

Well like I said above I tested it with no fields being echoed and I was still having the issue. I. also tested it just with a text field and still the same issue. This form is really important in my case so I need to get it working nicolas, would you like back-end access to help move this along?

Yes. Please send it via our contact form so that I can have a look. Also, an FTP access might be needed in order to correct the problem if it is indeed because of a bug.

I had a look but I couldn't find the problem, your settings seems fine. We would need to add debug traces on the checkout files in order to find the problem and for that we will need an FTP access.

i'll send you log in information to the cpanel of it.. the ftp is not going to work cause the domain is not pointing to the server at the moment.

We put some traces and found out that the data is good on HikaShop's end but that joomla does not stores the variables that HikaShop gives it in the session. Which results in HikaShop believing that the custom fields have not been filled.
That can happens sometimes on servers with a specific configuration and with the session handler being the database. Usually, changing the database handler to "none" in the joomla configuration solves the problem without any drawbacks.
We can't access the configuration of your website and can't modify the configuration.php file so we couldn't test that.
Please change it yourself and logout/login from the front end and try again.
