Hi there,

I'm trying to add a new field to the checkout page. I can insert the new textarea field ok, but i can't get the contents to appear in the confirmation page or the sent email.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, i'd really appreciate it. I'm not a php expert!

I am using a version of the higherground template, and have done the following:

In ecommercerole.php:

added the following in function extraDBFields() {:

'RentalDateNotes' => 'HTMLText'

added the following in

function getEcommerceFields() {
new TextareaField('RentalDateNotes', 'Please let us know what dates you require the equipment'),

then did a db build,

Then in the confirmation page - in themes/themename/templates\Includes\OrderInformation.ss, i have placed the following:

<tr class="summary">
			<td colspan="3" scope="row" class="left">Notes</td>
			<td class="price">$RentalDateNotes</td>
		</tr>

I've tried a number of different things, including rebuilding the db, and flushing the cache, but still cannot get the contents of

$RentalDateNotes 

what am i missing here?
Any ideas?
thanks in advance
