I'm trying to get some data from the DB and display that in the order form in the back-end. The view we're talking about is views->order->tmpl->form.php

Basically I want to get a single row from the database and display some content in the customer box. I wanted to do it quick and dirty for now by implementing a function in the helper file, but what would be the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Modifying files directly are not recommended, you wouldn't be able to update HikaShop without loosing your modification after that.
Modifying the helper file is highly not recommended, for same reasons.

We have a very good plugin system and you can add new blocks in the backend order form using the trigger

onAfterOrderProductsListingDisplay(&$order, $type);
