I would like to collect the customers tel number entered by them in an text field above comments in checkout_shipping.php

Hi :)

Iv'e been working away at this for ages, maybe you can point me in the right direction.

 

In checkout_shipping.php I have added a telephone text field to the form to capture the customers tel number who is making the order. My goal is to have the customer enter their number and then when the form is processed the database table customers with the field customers_telephone is updated with the new information about the customer.

 

#I do not capture the telephone number of the customer when signing up because I dont require it until they make an order, I like to keep the sign ups very quick for the user.

 

I'll show you what i have so far.

I have really only managed to display the field

 

checkout_shipping.php

 

// prepare telephone 


  if (tep_not_null($HTTP_POST_VARS['telephone'])) {
    $telephone = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['telephone']);
  }

 

and the html

 

 <tr>
       <td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
         <tr>
           <td class="main"><b><?php echo ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER; ?></b></td>
         </tr>
       </table></td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
       <td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" class="infoBox">
         <tr class="infoBoxContents">
           <td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
             <tr>
               <td><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('telephone') . ' ' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?></td>
             </tr>

 

after that i am a clueless..

 

Is there code I implement on this page our the next to insert this value in to the database.

 

Thanks for taking the time to read this

 

all the best,

 

Sean

Hi Sean

 

I am trying to do something very similar.

Which files did you have to modify to do this?

Hi Chad,

 

I used checkout_shipping.php language file and include.

 

checkout_process.php,

 

In catalog/includes/classes/ i used order.php,

 

and finally checkout_payment.php

 

what did you have in mind?

[dartecha]

My Client wants me to add a few extra fields it the payment/shipping sections so customers can add information that the client can then see in the invoice section of the admin side of the oscommerse site.

I added in the fields ok but nothing came through to the admin side to the site? I figured my solution was a little simplistic to begin with, hence my question about which files you manipulated.

Would it be to much of a pain to ask which lines of code you had to manipulate? :)

 

Cheers Chad
