Extended Order basket

Hi

I would like to add a user-input field to the basket summary area before checkout. The function of the field is intended to take a code that customers can provide in order to get a special gift offer. The coding of the field is no problem but whatever attempts I make to pass along the input-code as a variable in php fail! I've tried almost everything from globals etc, but the variable is somehow lost. Can anyone help? All I need is a way to pass a new variable from the orders-basket to the orders-delivery page

Thanks

I'd suggest adding a new field in the orders-delivery page... Constructing a script that takes the variable from orders-basket, and processing it might be tricky, so why not add it next to the "first name" / "city" etc... and then announce the customer via e-mail perhaps that his code is valid ?

Take a look at http://opensolution.org/Quick.Cart/forum/?p=readTopic&nr=2808

This thread also has information on adding a field:

That explains how to add a field to the 'orders delivery' page but not how to add it to 'orders basket', I think that maybe would be more difficult.

Thanks both of you

Yeah it's difficult to add it to the basket, maybe I'll just have to put it into the delivery section :(
