user definable fields on product pages

[valve man]

How do I place 2 user definable fields on each product page? I need these to appear with each product and the value entered to appear in the cart and checkout pages together with other VARIANTLABELn type data.

Customers have an option to enter two numbers - as these can vary between 0 - 180 it is not practicable to have drop down list.

Have you checked out page 69 of the Advanced User Guide - that may be suitable for what you are looking for

Thanks - I have. It appears to only apply to Other Info Prompts which appear on Cart Confirmation/Cart pages.

I need 2 user input boxes on my product pages.

See www.drillpine.biz/actinicstuff for Multiple Other Info Prompts.

Thanks Norman.
I looked at this earlier but your notes state..

"This code works only on Actinic V6 (also V7) pages using the Quantity on Product Page
(with or without the single Add to Cart button).
You can still use other types of pages but should not use multiple prompts there."

My Product pages have Quantity in Cart as quantity is assumed to be one unless changed later.

The bottom line is that I want to replace two particular VARIANTLABELn boxes with text entry boxes.

Then you'll have to set the products up with 180 (or whatever choices).

If you really want the customer to enter the numbers, and the numbers always exactly match the choices then it should be possible to hide that paricular variant selector and use some JavaScript to match the entered value with the appropriate select and pass that info instead of the variant parameter when the form is submitted.

Not a trivial exercise.

I'm sure you're right.
The dropdown list with 360 choices (!) looks like the way to go.

Thanks

You could also look at using Quantity on Product Page (which will let you use the Multi-Other Info patch)for these products but replacing NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTQUANTITY with

<span style="display: none; visibility: hidden">NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTQUANTITY</span>

which will hide the quantity field.
