Jasys Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 :blink: Hi people, just decided to use OS Commerce as a shopping system for a good friend of mine as it seems very nice to configure, my only question is I cant figure out how to add an extra text field to a product, when people shop, they will want to add text to the product (engraving) and I cant seem to add it.. and is there any way to install this without the defualt products? I need to start from scratch. Thanks in anticipation PS, I have searched but couldnt find the answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was I supposed to know what contributions meant? things like this are normally called addons or mods... I searched conributions and cannot find anything that tells me how to add a text field to a product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥geoffreywalton Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Certainly did, and I keep coming back for more. Did you search for Imprint_Text_Options you can have a lot of text options, to be assigned with product, and set different options enabled for different products, using checkboxes, when add/edit product. so, for example, you sell mugs with imprinting, then you can assign fields 'name' and 'date of birth' to mug_1 product, 'date' and 'phrase' with mug_2, so customer will fill this fields and it will be stored into db.
