Displaying Extra Fields in the Cart

[Tim Weaver]

Is there a way to display additional fields in the cart and during checkout, e.g. adding the Full Description or a design specific variable?

I've posted how to do this. Try searching using e.g. variables shopping cart.

Thanks Norman. I had tried searching the forums and knowledge base before posting, but tried again with your search terms and eventually found your instructions on checking Upload and modifying ActinicOrder.pm. So I'll give it a go.

However, I could get away with putting all of the required information into the Short Description field if it wasn't for the fact that the client wants the fields displayed in separately coloured table cells on the product pages. So I am also looking at whether there might be a better way of tackling this by playing around with the product layout rather than the cart.

There is also the "Report Descripion" capability. This is like an additional Product Description that is intended for display on the printed invoice. This is available in the Cart.
