Adding A Customer Text Area

hello,
been trying different text/HTML options/code to make a text area on the cart product page, our product can have custom engraving,
is there a way that i have over looked that would allow a text area to be passed along so as to receive it in the order email from my authorize.net gateway
Thanks

You set up your options files and link the options to the product. The option information does not need to be passed to AuthorizeNet because the information will automatically be in the info put out by AgoraCart after payment has been made at AuthorizeNet and the customer is returned to your store.

HTH!~

making the option

hello, am i to assume then that i make a option .pl file something like
<BODY>

<h3>--cut here--</h3>
<center><form><b>Order Notes</b></center><br>
<input type=hidden name=OrderNotes value=><BR>
<textarea cols=20 rows=4 name=message>
Type Order Notes Here</textarea></form>
<h3>--cut here--</h3>
</BODY>
i want to add a text Area for the customer to leave notes when ordering
Thanks

Not quite...
Now, I am a bit confused here as to what you are really needing.
Order Notes should be placed in the order form.
For the AuthorizeNet form, use the following:

Code:

<TR>
<TD>Special Notes:</TD>
<TD>
<TEXTAREA NAME="Ecom_XCOMMENT_Special_Notes" COLS="50" ROWS="5" WRAP="SOFT">$eform_Ecom_XCOMMENT_Special_Notes</TEXTAREA>
</TD>
</TR>

Now, if you are having the option to add engraving or personalization to a product, then that would need to be done using an option file named something like, "myoption.html" and looking more like:

Code:

<html>
<title>My Option File</title>
<BODY>

<h3>--cut here--</h3>
<center><b>Order Notes</b></center><br>
<textarea cols="20" rows="4" name="Order Notes">
Type Order Notes Here</textarea>
<h3>--cut here--</h3>
</BODY>
</html>

You did not need the hidden field and the form tags in there would create nested forms in the rendered page in the browser and nested form tags are not allowed.

HTH!

maybe This will clear it up

what i did was use a simple shipping option standard and 3 day select ie 19.995 and 34.95 also included in that was choice for romeo or windsor ie type of engine and if romeo then select year and if windsor select oil fill side had combined them all.
yes your correct in assuming that the order notes dont need to go to authorize just a text area for the customer to leave a note ie car number or name his engraving option that is provided free.
now the problem i am having is in the manager.cgi can only select one option file tried combing all the above with the notes but doest all show on test receipt
thanks ahgain for your help

MrIbber4,
Yes, only 1 option file can be used per product. To combine multiple option files into 1 file, follow the pattern displayed in thefile that comes with the original installation, "gift_option.html", found in the 'html/options' directory.

HTH!

Oh, DUH!!! Embarassed

I messed up...
Try this in your option file:

Code:

<html>
<title>My Option File</title>
<BODY>

<h3>--cut here--</h3>
<center><b>Order Notes</b></center><br>
<textarea cols="20" rows="4" name="option|OrderNotes|%%PRODUCT_ID%%">
Type Order Notes Here</textarea>
<h3>--cut here--</h3>
</BODY>
</html>

Something I just saw in your pages... you have the following in your header file...:
<body background="picserve.cgi?picserve=/metal.jpg">
It cannot be there. There is a place for you to set up your background image in the "Store Layout" area of the manager. You will also need to place the background image in the store's directory, where the agora.cgi file is.

HTH!
