texte = Hi and apologies in advance for the length of this...I'm trying to allow customers to input info for customizing certain SKUS. The problem comes when a second customized product is added to the order; the input to customize the first product is dropped.I've tried using [Header1] and [TextE] instead of [message], but that results in the message being chopped off and only the most recent message customize info showing this way as well.Here are the steps and pertinents code snips; please save me from pulling out any more hair over this!?! I must be close...right?-------------------------------------------- STEP ONE: Customize the order & add to cart ---------------------------------------------if the customer tries to add a SKU to their shopping basket that can be customized, they are sent to the GiftCustomize.tmpl. Here, an [include] provides the correct input form depending on the SKU, passing along the text variable called [message] to the shopping cart page:
--------------------------------------- STEP TWO: Submit the order [showcart] ---------------------------------------next, after a customer has added several items to the cart, the following form is used to submit the order:
------------------------------------------ STEP THREE: Purchase the items [purchase] ------------------------------------------on the next page, the customer inputs name, address, cc (etc.) info, then submits the order for purchase:


------------------------------------------------------------ STEP FOUR: Send [message] to email.txt's and thank you page ------------------------------------------------------------Last, I want to be able to see the [message] info on email sent to me after a purchase. However, if more than one customized SKU is purchased, am seeing only the most recent Customize info...both on the email files and on the last page (Thank You.tmpl):CUSTOM INFO (if any): [lineItems] [Message] [/lineItems] So...many, many thanks to whoever let's me in one the secret on how to do this correctly!!!!
