 adding a fill in form to order of certain items Hello All I posted this in oscommerce forum but did not receive reply. I need help with this First-I have personalized items that require people to fill in information with their order. since 90% are children, I want this to be done under the ssl, so nobody can obtain the children's info. How do I add a form to individual items? ie.. they could order a baby book for suzie and a sibling book for johnny... I can handle the html form, but I don't know where (what file) to put it, and where in the php file that it will be safe and not bomb the php. I think that if you put it in <html> it will be alright, am I correct? Thanks Pam     |

| RE: adding a fill in form to order of certain items Do you have the ssl set up already? Is this information that they need to enter during the checkout process? If you could add some further detail as to what you want to achieve you may get more response. I have a feeling what you want to do is more complicated than you are expecting. |

| RE: adding a fill in form to order of certain items Yes, I'm using a shared ssl. The information needs to be entered when they order specific things. I didn't know if I could attach a form to a specific product, and not the others. for instance on one product: When ordering, please include you child's name, age, address, hometown, fishing partner, name of lake or stream and the names of up to three friends. is the information for that book. If I could have a redirect to a form for instance that they email, and if the form could have that invoice number on it I could match them manually. I hope this is enough information, if not, please let me know. Thanks |

| RE: adding a fill in form to order of certain items possibly I could add a field in the database to "require" form, then have it call the form; which I could use a drop down menu for part numbers, then post the form to email then a continue button? |

| RE: adding a fill in form to order of certain items That could get complicated. Also you would have to manually match up the form to the order. I would try something simpler like modifying the existing checkout process to accomodate your needs. Perhaps you could edit the "Add Comments About Your Order" text area on each stage of the checkout process to gather the info you require? |

| RE: adding a fill in form to order of certain items 'Add Comments About Your Order' text is in catalog/includes/languages/english/ then checkout_shipping.php and checkout_payment.php etc the text area for the comments is in your template folder /content/ checkout_shipping.tpl.php etc etc |

| RE: adding a fill in form to order of certain items What you might want is atttibute with TEXT FEILDS. One for each of your required bits of information (that way the will see if somthing is needed and is in the DB and the order it self) Product Attributes - Option Type Feature http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,160 This contribution specifically adds the ability to display options with text input boxes. This allows a store owner to collect customization/personalization information for a product from the end user. Child's name: ____________ Age: ___ Address:_____________ Hometown:_____________ Fishing partner:________________ Name of lake or stream:____________ Friend#1:___________ Friend#2:___________ Friend#3:___________ And can be differnt for each book. Good Luck
