[SOLVED] Adding an input field to quick-order from (where get the value).

[WalTig]

I want to add a custom input field to the form where the customers confirm their order. I'm struggling with where to read the value of this field. 

 

This is what I did:

 

In order-carrier.tpl I added this:

<p>{l s='TEST'}</p>
<p><input type="text" name="my_test"></p>

And so far no problem. It shows perfectly and the customer can give the input.

 

But now.... I have to retrieve the input. I suppose I have to use:

$my_test = Tools::getValue('my_test');

Also tried:

$my_test = $_POST['my_test'];

I tried to place this in several files. But it looks like I cannot find the right place to do this (or I'm overseeing something else). I tried:

• modules\bankwire\controllers\front\validation.php
• OrderController.php
• OrderConfirmationController.php
• OrderOpcController.php
• bankwire.php
• ParentOrderController.php

I thought the last one would be the best, since logging shows me that it's the first (processed) in line. 

 

EDIT: I thought the first location (validation.php - function postProcess) would be the best, since logging shows me that it's the first (processed) in line. 

 

Unfortunately until now I cannot read the value of the input. 

 

Of course I would appreciate very much finding someone who's able to give me the hint which will get me out of this headache  :-)

Okay... that's how things go. More than a day struggling. Then posting the question. And now finding out myself. A stupid mistake: the input field was in between form-tags, but not in between the correct form-tags.

 

SOLVED !!!   (even though I don't know how to change that in the topic header.
