Need to add a text field to "Product" content type
wolf_halton - January 29, 2008 - 20:51
This is working well and I am madly in love with it, however...
I need a new field in the product content type. This needs to be customer-entry, filtered html to allow them to tell me what custom lines they want engraved on the product.
I tried using the apparel product, but the content of this field is not like size (S, M, L, XL) as it is entirely arbitrary text. I thought I could add this in the paypal node, but that appears to be impossible.
I added a line on the default invoicing email about it, but I see a lot of support calls from customers in our future, if I can't solve this now.
cck
Get the cck module, it comes with fields you can add to content types. You could add a text field to your product content type for this. See the cck documentation for details on how to use it.
Thanks! I will look at the

not cck
CCK doesn't answer this problem, as it allows arbitrary text to be added by the site editor, but we need it to be added by a customer during purchase. They are not annotating the product description, they are actually annotating an instance of a product order in their cart.
I also needed this - just for an arbitrary 'additional information' feedback textarea I wanted to capture during checkout. I did this with some messy hacks to checkout hooks, but ideally I want this function added to each ordered item.
It's a good request.

Concurrence
I have not seen how to use cck to add this field either. It did a nifty job of adding another managment-filled field to the product, but as you say, that was not the requirement.
Did your messy hacks work? If this is not hidden somewhere else in the module forest, I gotta do something. I have to add about 1000 products into the db, and I really would rather get it in place now. I don't really know how to add the hacks.
I guess I could remove CCK.
I was able to attach some
I was able to attach some user input to the 'purchase' (eg like delivery instructions) but not to the 'product' - like engraving instructions, so my mess isn't great for you.
Plus it was on a significantly older generation of the module.

seems like you may have to
seems like you may have to dev this one your self and contribute it for others to user ;)
God take pity on my soul
God take pity on my soul then. I don't even know where to start.
Where would I start to do this? RTFM? I have figured out how to add blocks, but I think this is a large step beyond that...
resolved?
Hello,
Did you resolved this problem? Because I need to do the same thing.
thanks!
