check box in order pages

[Landgreen]

Is it possible to add a check-box at the very end of the order pages? For example, if i wanted my customers to accept/decline a weekly newsletter?

It doesn't necessary has to be at the very end of the order pages ('though it'd be nice) - i guess anywhere will do, as long as it doesn't appear more than one time.

I'll quickly answer this one. If you look in the AUG for v6 there are instructions for turning a text field into a check box. THe Advanced User Guide is downloadable from www.actinic.co.uk.

i cant make it happen - actually it doesnt change anything. By the way - what is "NETQUOTEDEL:xxx" ?

If it did not work, then I'm afraid you have done it wrong. Here are the instructions for the user definalble field in the first page of the checkout. If you are doing it elsewhere in the checkout then you will need to use a different variable name.

Open 'Act_Order01.html' and locate the following code in the template:

<input type="TEXT" name="INVOICEUSERDEFINED" size="20" maxlength="255" value="NETQUOTEVAR:INVOICEUSERDEFINED">

This is the code for the user defined field, and by default it is a text field. Change the above code to read:

<input type="CHECKBOX" name="INVOICEUSERDEFINED" value="CHECKED" NETQUOTEVAR:INVOICEUSERDEFINED>

By the way - what is "NETQUOTEDEL:xxx" ?

These mark the beginning and the end of a chunk of code that is removed when a particular feature is not being used in the checkout e.g. advanced tax, shipping charges etc.

I know this one was a while back, but I've just tried it.

I get the check box appear just above "remember me", but I dont get any output sent back to me, even when it's been ticked? . I assumed it would appear under the misc tab?

Help much appeciated..
