Add Custom Field to Order Form

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.1
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.8

I thought when you add a "custom field" on the sign up page that it would show on the order form but it does not. How do I get the field to show on the order that is received?

Thank you!

It depends on how you configured your custom field.
How did you configure your custom field ? Please provide a screenshot of its settings.

Is this what you need?

Hi,

This is a custom address field. It will display on the address edition/create form, and potentially on the HikaShop user registration form if the "ask address on registration" setting of the HikaShop configuration is activated.
If you don't see it during the checkout it can mean:
- that you're already logged in with an address
- that this setting is turned off
- that you removed the login and/or the address view of your checkout workflow

If you want a field that displays during the checkout regardless of all that, I would recommend creating a custom field of the table "order" instead. It will display on the checkout if the "fields" view is in your checkout workflow

Hi Nicolas,

All I want is to get the information that the user entered in the custom field emailed to me. Currently the information does not come in on the order confirmation email but I can see it in the backend.

Thanks!

Hi,

You can edit the email via the menu System > Emails and in the HTML part use code like:
Put this code at the desired place in the email ,and it will show the value of the "customfield_name" of the billing address.
So just replace "customfield_name" be the real custom field column name.

I'm trying to add that information after the shipping method as per above. If I add this in the email form would that work?

Thanks

Hi,

No. Xavier forgot to add VAR: at the beginning of the tag in his message. Add it in your tag and it should work.
I've updated his message.
