Could you perhaps be more vague about what it is you need this field to do?

[tom2u]

ok, actually i would like to add two more fileds at

http://www.tom2u.com/index.php?main_...eckout_payment

the checkout payment page.

This two fields are to collect the information of

"Prescription info - RightEye" :
(dropdown menu: 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 375, 400)
"Prescription info - LeftEye" :
(dropdown menu: 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 375, 400)

if possible, i would these two fileds are dropdown menu. for buyer to choose the preset value.

(later will need this value to be print in the invoice OR packing slip..)

If possible, please help me. ......tq

And when I order contacts for the family ... how should these be filled out?

Wouldn't this be best added to each product as then the person can order left eye and right eye with separate information and as many want to order 5 lefts and 2 rights because they lost 3 of the rights or 4 lefts as they only wear a left ... it would make a lot more sense I think ...

I have in the past done contact and/or lense stores and it was best to do eye by eye ...

It could be done eye by eye on the same Product, but this does get into a lot of attributes for 1 product and many servers cannot handle that combination ...

OMG..! thank you for advice. Never think of purchase multiple units.

Sol 1) well, then i think using the Instruction/Comment textbox at checkout-payment page for buyer to fill in the information. (may be can preset some question inside this textbox for them to fill in, if can, how to do that?)

i had tried to amend the "tpl_checkout_payment_default.php" at

\includes\templates\tm001\templates

<fieldset>
<legend><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_COMMENTS; ?></legend>
<?php echo zen_draw_textarea_field('comments', '45', '9', 'your Right/Left Eye Power:'); ?>
</fieldset>

Is that possible to pre set some items value which buyer purchase product NAME/ID inside that box, so, buyer just follow the items name to fill in the right/left eye power?


Sol 2) or can i add the right/left eye power at each product before buyer add into cart? and the right/left eye information will con't pass to checkoutpage as well.?

Which one easier?, well, i think solution 1 ....please provide me some guide .. thank you

Solution 2 ...

Option Manager ...
Option Name: Left Eye

Option Name: Right Eye

Option Value Manager ...

Option Values: Pick one
Sort Order: 0

Option Name: Left Eye
Option Values: 25
Sort Order: 25

Option Name: Left Eye
Option Values: 50
Sort Order: 50
etc . etc.


Option Name: Right Eye
Option Values: Pick one
Sort Order: 0

Option Name: Right Eye
Option Values: 25
Sort Order: 25

Option Name: Right Eye
Option Values: 50
Sort Order: 50

Attributes Controller ...
Option Name: Left Eye
Option Value: Pick one
Default: YES
Display Only: YES (use to force it)

Option Name: Left Eye
Option Value: 25

Option Name: Left Eye
Option Value: 50
etc. etc.


Option Name: Right Eye
Option Value: Pick one
Default: YES
Display Only: YES (use to force it)

Option Name: Right Eye
Option Value: 25

Then hit the Update Sort order at the top ...

Now each Product has its own set of settings and I can come in and buy for the whole family regardless of prescription needed ...
