Text Attribute not included on order

[DerekJ]

Hi All,

I've added a text box attribute to a product to allow the user to type in freeform text. It works OK all the way up to the checkout showing the product name and text input by the user, but the text is not being passed on from the checkout to the order. It's not in the confirmation e-mail or the database.

Is there somthing I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks In Advance
Derek

Hi All,

Just to confirm that the fix GoAskMom mentions works OK.

However,......
The thread is long, (I started to read it before I posted this question but abandoned it half way down!) so work your way through it! (Not like me!)

If the dowload does not work, follow Msasek's advice and uncheck the Httm1.1 checkbox, quit ALL explorer windows and restart it before trying to download it again.

Thanks All
Derek

I have updated with this patch and am Still having problems when the customer pays with Paypal all I get is the words TEXT for any text input boxes. But if they pay with check/money order everything works perfectly. Can someone help please!! Ive checked just about everything I can think of, compared all the paypal payment modules using beyond compare and nothing is wrong or out of place.

Hi All,
To get round the problem of the text string being mashed when using paypal, I did this which works.

HOWEVER!!! I don't know how safe it is. Can someone else comment??

In catalog/checkout_process.php, find this line-->

//clr 030714 changing to use values from $orders->products and adding call to tep_decode_specialchars()

$products_ordered_attributes .= "\n\t" . $attributes_values['products_options_name'] . ' ' .
tep_decode_specialchars($order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['value']);

REMOVE the call to tep_decode_specialchars()...Like this--->

$products_ordered_attributes .= "\n\t" . $attributes_values['products_options_name'] . ' ' . $order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['value'];

I'm not sure what decode_special_chars() does, it may in be to provent SQL-Injection or something, so it's maybe better to wait until a real coder has a look.

Best,
Derek
