Custom form fields on Product Page

I would like to have a form on the product page that customers can fill out and add an attachment to.

What I want is several different fields, such as:

Name
Birth Date
Weight
Time
Welcomed By

Then I want a place that they can upload 1-4 pictures.

I'm doing custom birth announcements and would like to have this right on my product page so it's easier for my customers.

I've searched all over this board, the tutorials, & the mods, and can't seem to find anything that will do this. I found a site that is similar to what I want and that was done with Zen.

Can anyone tell me how to do this or if there's a mod that will allow me to do this?

Thanks

You can add all those as custom fields to your product using built-in attribute support.

Thank you. I looked at that tutorial but I guess I didn't understand what it was talking about. I've done zen carts before but never did much with attributes.

I'm confused on where I would add my custom field and where to add the place that I can have an attachment uploaded to the form. I see the part that says "Attribute required for Text" but I don't exactly know how to use that.

Do I need to set up the option names/values in a certain way in order for this to work?

I'm sorry for sounding so dumb.

Yes, you need to create option names and values, which define the fields your customers will fill in.
For fields where they type, use "Text" as the choice.
And for uploading files, those would be "File" as the choice.

I have figured most of it out but am having a few issues. It is saying [was: +$0.00 now is: Free] after each box. How do I get rid of that?

Also, Is there a way to add a comment-type box so that people can add more information if needed (like a place where they can add a message up to 500 characters)?

Also, where do I find the files that have been uploaded?

Comments can be a text field that you've set to more than just 1 line.
Uploaded files will go into your /images/uploads folder, and will be named according to the order number.

Thank you so much for your help!

One more question:

How do I get rid of [was: $0.00 now is: Free] after every box?

Nevermind, I've figured it out. If there's a price on the product it doesn't do that...:oops:

Sorry for bothering you.

I've got everything set up correctly now :clap:

I just tested this and the images are in the /images/uploads folder but they are just showing up as images and not according to order number.

For example:

• My order number was 2
• My images were named ryleigh_img.jpg (I uploaded 3 of the same to test)
• When I go to the /images/uploads folder, this is what I see: 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg

It's not naming the files correctly or putting them by order number. Is there a way to change this? It will be really important for me to have this information because each order I'm doing is customized according to the pictures.

Thanks

If you look at the Order, you will see the number and the original image name next to it ...

The number, such as:

• Logo Front: 1. 1_small.jpg (+$0.25)
• Logo Back: 2. 2_small.jpg (+$0.25)

Indicates that there will be a filename by number with a matching file extension ...

So 1. 1_small.jpg means that there are files:
/upload/1.jpg
/upload/2.jpg

NOTE: The image numbers do not match the Order Number ...

Ok, I think that makes sense. I did another order & it gave them the names of 4.jpg & 5.jpg, so I'll just go by those numbers.

One more question, though. Is there a way to make the add to cart button appear after the info is entered (at the bottom of the page)? This is my site http://www.bouquetofpixels.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_3&products_id=15

Thanks

You can customize the template file using your templates and overrides:
tpl_product_info_display.php

and move the Add To Cart code below the Attributes ...

Add to Cart is delimited with:

<!--bof Add to Cart Box -->
// bunch of code here
<!--eof Add to Cart Box -->

Attributes is delimited with:

<!--bof Attributes Module -->
// bunch of code here
<!--eof Attributes Module -->

Thanks so much. It worked like a charm! :clap:

I'm so glad I have all you smart people to rely on :D

Thanks for the update that this is working ... :smile:

hi this is probably not correct thread but at a loss so going to ask on the back of the foregoing. I have two custom fields added to my database and these are displaying on the product info display page, and i am able to complete these through EP so great. however i have installed tabbed products and it appears that the global setting for product description under tpp does not recognise the two extra custom fields so doesn't include them under the correct tab. would really like this feature to work so hopefully someone has some ideas on fix. thanks
