Add message for each item

[cable]

Hi,

I am a florists in the UK...

The store is working great, however, I need the option for a user to type a message to go with each flower purchase.

Any help would be greatly received.

Thanks, and Merry Xmas!

On the product viewing page, add a text box input. Create a table to hold the comment that they want, and ID's to link it to the current order. When they click "In Cart", retrieve the comment (HTTP_GET_VARS) and store it. Add an admin page to view comments for orders. (Get comments from comment_table where orderid=invoiceid).

 

Something along those lines will probably work for you.

Aodhan,

 

Thanks for that.

What I was after is some example coding (if poss, that would be great!) , and also a list which files I would need to edit.

 

Thanks all,

 

Regards,

Was this ever solved?

 

I have a query sort of relating to this.

 

I want to have an option where the customer can add a message to a text field, if they want to have a gift card with their order. This would add a couple of bucks to the order total.

 

I dont want the option on a product basis, as normally you'd only want to send 1 gift card/message with the whole order, not each individual product within the bulk order.

 

Trying to work out how to put this into the checkout when they go to pay for items.

 

Any help or suggestions?

I too am very interested in this as I need to add a text field to the individual purchase and am unforetunately very very new to all of this. Any help is appreciated.

Can you not just use the "Comments About Your Order" box that already exsits in the checkout phase?

 

You could alter it to say something like "Create your own personalised message"
