Adding "Add comments about your order" to confirmation email

Hey all, I'm running OpenCart version 1.5.1.3 at
www.deweyrods.com. In the "Delivery Methods" area of checkout, there is a box that says "Add Comments About Your Order" and I would like to make that field appear on the confirmation email that gets sent to both them and me. Also, can I add another box (or change the title of that box) to say "Firearm Make, Model and Caliber" and I would also like a "Where did you hear about us" Comment Box in checkout. Anyone know where I can find out how to make this?
Thanks, and stay safe out there!
Regards,
K

Hi,
the comments should already be included within the order confirmation email template upon each checkout process as well as part of the admin orders even with v1.5.1.3 release.
As for changing the title of the comment, it would be in your catalog/language/english/checkout/checkout.php file.
Code: Select all
$_['text_comments'] = 'Add Comments About Your Order';
As for adding another box to state 'Where did you hear about us', it would first have to be in your view/theme/<your_theme>/template/checkout/payment_method.tpl file.

It is not on the email, it only shows up in the orders section when i go into the admin area to process them.

Your assumption is correct. There only seem to be the payment gateway's response comment but not the customer's comment over email. Try the XML file on the attachment. This should now output as expected.

Into your vqmod/xml folder. You must install VQMod to use XML files within OC.

Is there anyway to do this without the vq mod or whatever, just change the html code?

No, since modifications are also required into PHP. Not just HTML.

This looks to be a template issue on your end regarding this integration. Make sure to have: <table class="list"> as the third instance in your mail/order.tpl file in your template and add:
Code: Select all
<?php if (!empty($user_comment)) { ?>
<table class="list">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="left"><?php echo $text_user_comment; ?></td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="left"><?php echo $user_comment; ?></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<?php } ?>
Then, to remove the TPL block step from the XML.
Otherwise, you will have to find your own way on integrating this peace.

If you don't know if VQMod is installed, run the VQMod installation again. Then, you will see from the installation status if VQMod is already installed or not.

You will need to modify the payment template file and to move it under the confirmation step - still on the checkout template folder.

I fixed the order_user_comments.xml by straightlight to work with version 1.5.6
The commentary is now displayed in a table same as for example payment instructions.
Enjoy...

Hello.
I am using OpenCart 2.3.0.2.
I want to add the comments only in 6th step (confirm order).
This is OpenCart 1.5 forum, but I found this post above.

So should be very similar in OpenCart 2.3.0.2 too. Is not it?
Could anybody explain little bit more please.
Thank you.
