It is already built into opencart (has been since v 1.5 at least). It's part of step 4 "Add Comments About Your Order"

If it is not showing on your store, my guess is your theme removed it.

cataloglanguageenglishcheckoutshipping.php

Change the variable for
$_['text_comments'] = 'Add Comments About Your Order';
to
$_['text_comments'] = 'Specify Size';

Thanks, I found it. How can I change the text from "Add comments about your order" to something else? I found some code but can't find the pho file mentioned:

Code: Select all

cataloglanguageenglishcheckoutshipping.php

Change the variable for
$_['text_comments'] = 'Add Comments About Your Order';
to
$_['text_comments'] = 'Specify Size';

Also is it possible to add more than one comment box?

For v3, editing text is extremely easy. Go to Design > Language editor. Select checkout/checkout for the route, find text_comments for the key and change the value to whatever you want and save it.

Yes, another comment box can be added though it would require a more complex modification. You could pay a developer to do it for you i you don't know coding.

You can also add a text field to a product thru options if you need something specific for that product to be added.

Okay, then you need to post your question in the v2 forum and NOT the v3 forum where you have it.

You would need to edit the language file you originally cited in v2.
