Adding a question at Check Out

[Guest]

I want to add a simple

"how did you hear about us"

at check out.

 

Is there a way to make this a field at check out, where the customer can submit any info they please? Max certain number of characters.

You could go to your catalog/checkout_shipping.php and find these lines

 

<tr>
			<td><?php echo tep_draw_textarea_field('comments', 'soft', '60', '5'); ?></td>
		  </tr>

 

and add these lines just above them

 

<tr>
		  <td><b>Please let us know how you found us</b></td>
		  </tr>

 

So that they look like this

 

<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
		  <tr>
		  <td><b>Please let us know how you found us</b></td>
		  </tr>
		  <tr>
			<td><?php echo tep_draw_textarea_field('comments', 'soft', '60', '5'); ?></td>
		  </tr>
		</table></td>

 

or goto catalog/includes/languages/english/checkout_shipping.php and find this

 

define('TABLE_HEADING_COMMENTS', 'Add Comments About Your Order');

 

And put anything you want where 'Add Comments About Your Order' is.

 

Either is easier than trying to program in a question with it's own field.
