CE Phoenix Cart Forum

Hi,

I am trying to create a text input pi module. Some of the products we sell allow or require text input.

I have created a text input box but am stumped on the next step, adding it to the cart session and then in to the customers_basket table.

Does anyone have experience of doing this? I would prefer to use hooks as opposed to hard coding.

Any help is much appreciated.

For what you are doing, you might be better off doing things in some different fashion. Note that the original Option Type Feature modified the tables to store a string instead of a number. The contents array is accessible from outside the shopping cart. So you could override the necessary actions and modify the array directly.

I could add new hooks to the action processing. That would save having to override the action file. But it probably won't get released until at least November.

Could you point me in the direction of which file/s to modify?

includes/actions/add_product.php might be the only action that works with attributes.

I'm not adding it as an attribute, it's a stand alone field.
