Custom Fields

Hi,

I have a product on my shop which can be customised by the user to have text engraved on to it.

I have sorted the custom fields so the user can enter the text that they want engraved but i would like to also have a checkbox that appears on the checkout page to confirm they have proof read the text. Is it possible to assign this checkbox to a category given it is in the 'order' table.

Cheers

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for the response.

Just wondering - if i was to create some kind of Review / Preview type page and then add the custom field to that i could put it into the item table then assign it to a category and it would then appear on the check out page. The workflow would be something like this:

Product Page (customer enters desired text) -> Review Page (this displays the text entered previously, also has the checkbox) -> Checkout Page.

This is quite a bit of work though and would need some serious custom coding i expect. For now i will use the Terms and Conditions, my client is just aware that lots of people just tick the box to proceed.

Cheers

Hi Nicolas,

I have been doing some thinking and would like to add the Review Page into the checkout flow. Are you able to help me with the coding of this?

Cheers

Hi Nicolas,

I have managed to do most of this myself. I have coded it so that when a user is on the checkout page they click 'Next' and normally this would take them to the payment page (Paypal). I have altered the code slightly so that it opens a modal window instead and in there is where i would like to put the following details:

Product Name, Any custom fields for that product and any options/variants the user has chosen.

Is this possible?

Hi Nicolas,

I am making progress with this. I have managed to get the modal popup to display the cart quantity and the product name. I am still struggling with custom fields but will get there in the end.

One issue i have come across is that if the product has a variant (used to allow the customer to choose a font for the engraving) I get two products in the modal popup one has a quantity of 0 and the other has a quantity of 1. Obviously the quantity 1 is correct but i am not sure where the quantity 0 is coming from.

This only happens to products that have variants.

The code i used to display this in the modal is:

<p>
          <?php echo '<b>'.'PRODUCT DETAILS'.'</b>'.'</br>'; ?>
          <?php foreach ($this->rows as $item) {
          echo sprintf($item->cart_product_quantity . '&nbsp' . $item->product_name); }?>
        </p>

Hi,

I managed to solve the odd quantity error using this code:

if ($item->cart_product_quantity == 0)continue;
