Here are some common tweaks that can be made to vsadmin/includes.asp or .php

How can I ask customers how they found our site when checking out?

ASP Version:
extracheckoutfield1="How did you hear about us?"
extracheckoutfield1required=TRUE
extracheckoutfield1html="<select name=""ectfield"" size=""1""><option value=""Google"">Google</option><option value=""Yahoo"">Yahoo</option></select>"

PHP Version:
$extracheckoutfield1="How did you hear about us?";
$extracheckoutfield1required=TRUE;
$extracheckoutfield1html="<select name=\"ectfield\" size=\"1\"><option value=\"Google\">Google</option><option value=\"Yahoo\">Yahoo</option></select>";

NOTE

• If you have a second vsadmin folder for security reasons and/or on your secure server then make sure that the changes are made to BOTH files.



• The parameters are case sensitive



• Do check for duplicate entries so search the file before adding a new parameter

If you want one of the ASP or PHP parameters to only apply to one category, you can do that with the following example in your includes.asp / .php file

ASP

if request.querystring("cat")=12 then useproductbodyformat=3

PHP

if(@$_GET['cat']=='12') $useproductbodyformat=3;

This would mean that the category with an identifier of "12" will use a different product layout to the main one defined in your includes file.

This should work for any of the ASP or PHP parameters.
