Hello Team,

on my checkout page I have a custom section below (marked red) with three custom fields in the view order. I want to add another field (marked green) with a dropdown, that the user can should select where does he know my shop from.

Regarding this field I have two questions:
1.) I want this field to be in a seperate section, not in the one with the three fields and with a seperate header caption (best would be above the current section with the three fields.. How is that possible? If Imake new custom fields they only go (if I put them in the order form) in the section where the other three fields are.
2.) The field itself should contain 4 values to select, but in the chart itself if should be empty from start on (field is mandaroty in the background settings). Currently when I setup the field I can only select a value as standard value which is already there, that also makes the setting (field mandatory) obsolete, because there's already a value in. How can I setup the field in a way, that the user has to select one entry but the field itself shows no value when the user entered the shopping cart website? Means - if the user miss to fill the field and want to do the checkout the error message appears (from Background setting) that the field has to be filled with a value from the dropdown.

Thanks for your support.

Hello Nicolas,

thank you for the answer, but the solution only works 50%. I can add a new view in the workflow (see screenshot) and select per view the fields I want to have on the view:

But when it comes to the cart itself, the view will not be displayed with this setting.



Also, the view has the same header, I assume it's because it's the same view but doubled. When, for example, I setup the view in the admin area like that: view 1: no selection of field, view 2 only selection of 1 field, it shows all fields in view 1 and only the specific field in view 2.



I want to have it that way, that the specific field from view 2 to is only available in view 2 and the other three fields from view one (like the selection above) are available in view 1, but also with a different heading. How is that possible?

Thank you
Alexander

Hi Nicolas,

thnak you for the fast reply. I have the latest Hika Shop only on my test system, on the live system I have a lower Hika Shop version on live system because if I upgrade the new version will mess up with my responsive css on the mobile version. Currently I do not have time to fix this and for the customer it looks not good so I stick a while with the old version in the live system. So I first need time to fix all the minor css issue before I install the latest version to live system.

Could you please provide me the bugfix for my current version or just tell me where do you have added which code in which file, so I can adjust it manually in the live version of the website.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks Nicolas. Works as expected!
