Title: Who got the text input box working?
Post by: vigier on March 02, 2012, 00:34:45 AM
Hi, since there's no reaction on my bugreport and I cannot imagine that no one over here uses the text input box, I'll try this question: who got the text input box to work on his site and how diy you do it?
I made a custom field --> plugins --> VM - Custom, customer text input, cart attribute to yes, published yes. Added this to my product, field size to 4. It shows up on the productdetails. When I place the order, the user input is gone, nowhere to be found.

Some of you have a webshop that offers text printing where the client can input the text he wants to have printed? Who got it working?

No still after trying every version. Publish , unpublish, add a field, change the cost,

* I do notice that even when I unpublish the field it is still visually seen on the product - so publish and unpublish makes no difference in this attribute.

2.5.1 and 2.0.2 versions

This publishing/unpublishing trick didn't work here either. We are on VM 2.0.7c now.
I can hardly believe this problem is really related to our configuration?

I tried reading the thread and just had a massive brain fart. Is this working as of now, and if so does anyone have a step by step? All I'm really looking for is a customer text input field, so for example : If someone wants a t-shirt that says their name - they can enter it in before adding to cart.  :'(

I think you will have to wait for the updated version- in 2.0.6 it works but 2.0.7 b, c it does not and as these are test versions.
You will have to wait for the next few test versions.
If Milbo is aware of it then they know.
