I am customising an instance of oxidshop installed on my local machine. I want to add a text field on first step of basket page. The field will save the value to a new column in oxorder page.
Any idea how to get this to work?
since order object is created after step 4, you will need to store user input somewhere.
I suggest using session.
Therefore you will need to redirect the "continue to the next step" button on basket page to a new function (which stores user input in session) in user controller by adding "fnc=myfunction" request parameter to the form being submitted:
<input type="hidden" name="fnc" value="myfunction"/>
After this value is stored in session, you will need to extend oxOrderfunction _setUser() and after calling parent::_setUser() you can save your session variable in oxorder:
protected function _setUser ($oUser) {
parent::_setUser($oUser);
$this->assign(['oxorder__myvalue' => oxRegistry::getSession()->getVariable('myvalue')]);
}
you will also need to remove "checkout" button in minibasket flyout/popup, because it skips the basket page and jumps right into step 2.
