Magento – Additional fields in the checkout intergrieren / Other Fields / Dropdowns etc.

Today I want to write about a very useful extension, that we use successfully for some time.

AMASTY – Order Attributes

There is always the task, in cash- or. Checkout area, additional fields such as supply texts / Ordering / Promotion Codes / etc.. incorporate. One can (as we did initially,) manually intervene and integrate fields, But now it's also wonderful and comfortable. The o.g. Extension is possible at any point in the checkout any fields / Dropdowns / Check boxes, etc.. incorporate, then appearing in the order history in the backend and the customer when ordering.

It has only one attribute code assigned, the unique needs to be, then can be adjusted to be used for which this attribute is to store view.
Then, to define what kind of input it should be,.Picture

The other settings are self explanatory. Now, can still be set at what point will come of this query and check outs then you are actually already finished. If you have a query option chosen, are selected from the specifications must, these can be managed in the second tab.

Then the order is ready to attribute.

As I said,, this additional information will be saved in the backend in order and can thus also by interface(nanpassung) be transferred to an external system.

Further, these data are outputted in the transaction updates for. This requires the assumption of variable. Thus, in the order confirmation can be issued with a supplementary text.

Here we had with the first version of the problem, that there was a mistake. With the currently used version 1.0.3. This problem is solved but.

A tip for all, the Ricordos “Correct form of address” use in the transaction emails:

In line 11 an adjustment must be made, so the extension can work, Otherwise, the emails have a subject, but otherwise complete but clearly -> empty.

class Ricordo_Anrede_Model_Sales_Order extends Amasty_Orderattr_Model_Sales_Order // Mage_Sales_Model_Order

there must be high, so that the two extensions will not fight each other.

The extension is for a price of $ 79 to have, what is a reasonable price, in my opinion. For this you get very good support for developers (Thanks Alex!) und alle Updates. Furthermore, we 14 Day money-back guarantee.

What I would like to add: Be made in contrast to many extensions after the normal installation must have a small change in the template files, which are responsible for the checkout. That is, that will be shown for example in the shipping information only if the new field, when added to the associated file one line.
This step can be quickly forgotten, and then there is the question, what you forget.

The extension works with Magento version 1.3.x, 1.4.x and 1.5.x

Fazit: Highly recommended!

P.S. Amasty still come from many useful extensions. Inter alia – and that suits this extension described – Customer Attributes, in which the customer registration or any number of fields can be built.
