I purchased the Essentials of Hikashop, and nowhere does it say the Essentials can't do a Purchase Order, yet I can't find the option. How do I add a Purchase Order option?

Hello,
I didn't fully understood your issue so can you give me more details about what you really want to do through some screenshots for example ?

I chose Paypal and Credit Card as two payment options. Now I want to add a third, Purchase Order. How do I do that?

Hello
If you want to add a third payment method you'll just have to create another payment method using the "New" button of the page : "Hikashop->System->Payment methods".

There isn't an option to choose a Purchase Order.

Normally businesses buy things with a purchase order. This is the process:

Business is interested in a vendor's product.
Business asks vendor for a quote for the product.
Vendor sends quote to business.
Business sends a purchase order to the vendor. This is just a document that says the business wants the vendor's product.
Vendor sends invoice to business, referencing the purchase order number.
Business pays vendor money to complete the process.

what would be ideal is an auto-dropdown like choosing a credit card, where the purchaser would enter the purchase order number.

No, that's not what I want. Looking over the lingo used at Hikashop, I think what I need from Hikashop is a "HikaShop Purchase Order payment plugin".

It should function exactly the way the Hikashop Credit Card plugin works, but instead of asking for a name, cc #, expiration date, the HikaShop Purchase Order Payment Plugin should ONLY ask for one field (Purchase Order number).

Can this be done?

You da #!#%!@#% man!!! Awesome!

1. How can I get it to look like the credit card is formatted? I mean the credit card option has smaller text and the background is the template background with the field backgrounds in white. The purchase order option you can't tell where the field is.

2. And what is the "dot" outside of the field at the end of the purchase order option?

3. I updated the jText for display purposes:
function needCC(&$method){
$method->custom_html='<span style="margin-left:10%">'.JText::_('Purchase Order Number: ').'<input type="text" class="hikashop_purchase_order_number inputbox required" name="hikashop_purchase_order_number"/> *</span>';
}

Hi,

1. I just tried on my local and the display is the same than the other payment methods. Else I think that some css can do the trick:
hikashop.com/support/support/documentati...ize-the-display.html

2. It is not really a dot but a star, it's to indicate that the field is required. You can remove it by editing the needCC function like you done for point n°3.

3. Instead of editing this JText, it's better to add the translation:

PURCHASE_ORDER_NUMBER="Purchase Order Number:"

So why doesn't my PO option have the text field in white and the background in a darker shade like the credit card payment option?

Hi,

Could you give us a link to your website in order to see directly what's happening ?

I just sent a PM with that information.

Been 3 days with no response. Let me know when you want to look at it again and I'll open up the website. The proof is in the attached screenshots I sent. Nothing else to look at on the website.

Hi,

It was the weekend Having the website access will allow us to compare the classes.
Thanks to edit the frontend css file and add the following css property:

.hikashop_credit_card{
background-color: rgb(248, 248, 248) !important;
padding-top: 8px !important;
}

Worked! I put the above code in the file: media\com_hikashop\css\frontend_default.css

Ok, so it shows the PO# on the Checkout form, but when the order comes through, the PO is nowhere to be found in the email.

How do I get the Purchase Order number to get shown on the emails sent out?
