Custom field not shown at cart view

[Lockerbie]

Happy New Year!

I'm migrating a Joomla-VM-webshop from 2.5x to J! 3.3.6 - VM 3.0.2. With some searching and adjusting, all went well, except for one thing: one of the two custom fields isn't showing at cart view. (These are set up as non-stockable custom fields.)
One is set up as a generic cart variant, used to show different colors (childproducts). This one is visible both at product detail (as a dropdown) and cart view.
The other is set up as a string to show sizes, which is visible as a dropdown at product detail view, but it isn't showing at cart view at all.
How can I adjust this so the custom field 'size' (maat) does show up in cart view?

Joomla! 3.3.6 - VirtueMart 3.0.2

(Edit: removed link.)

Did you convert the custom fields to VM3 format? See "Update vm2 order format of customfields to vm3 format" button under tools/migration.

Test on a backup copy of the site.

Hello Jenkinhill,

Yes, I did. This button is present twice, and although one leads to a blank page, I tried both buttons. But nothing has changed...

[Lockerbie]

I've tried and retried with another backup, but no changes concerning the size-field in both cartview and orders.
Tried again after removing all previous orders, but still no difference.
What can I do or what do I have to edit manually in the database so the size-field will be visible in cartview and in the orders?

In the page-source-code there is a reference for info from the custom fields in both checkout and mini-cart. Still the info itself isn't transferred to and/or visible in both places. The concerning files:

Ok, perhaps it could be this: I found a thread on another forum with somewhat the same problem, but with VM2-customfields (instead of VM3), see: https://www.gavick.com/forums/bikestore-joomla25/virtuemart-custom-field-disappeared-from-frontend-26526

Somewhere before, during migration and editing the template, I did adjust the same file they're talking about, because the customfields didn't show up on productdetails page. I gave them the position 'ontop', but perhaps this isthe problem for the customfields to not show up in cartview/checkout?
Now I'm confused how to get this all right...

Yes, I found it!

I removed the file:
root/templates/chozentemplate/html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/default.php
and used the original file at:
root/components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/tmpl/default.php

There was an error/typo on line 143:

Code Select Expand

          echo $this->laodTemplate('manufacturer');

changed it to:

Code Select Expand

          echo $this->loadTemplate('manufacturer');


After that, I changed the layout-position of the custom fields from 'ontop' to 'addtocart' and there it was: the size appeared in the mini-cart and checkout!
