eCommerce - Capability to Have 4 Tribute Lines for One Product

Austen Brown

We utilize eCommerce to accept donations for our brick pathway and allow customers at the same time to determine what they would like an engraved on a brick.  For previous options we have repurposed the "Tribute Fields" to represent each of the three lines available to add text to a brick.  However, with the addition of our newest brick option four lines are available.  Do you have any suggestions of how we could handle this on the back end, when only three tribute fields are available? Is it possible to add a fourth in the code?


Thank you in advance!

If you are out of tribute fields, you could use one of the big text areas for all four values. Just store them as a delimited string, (Some value~Some other value~Yet another value~And one more) The reports won't be very pretty on the back end, but at least you have the data.


This idea would require some JS and HTML/CSS.


I would hide the actual tribute field with some CSS and code four 'fake' display inputs for your values. Then have a simple script concatenate them all together when the user clicks 'Add', or something.


I done something sort of similar, so if you are up for that much coding we could all help you along. It might be a little more complicated in order to support editing the product from the cart, etc.
