Day 112
On Friday I came to a road-block with Magento. I’m trying to add extra parameters to an order line item (Sales Quote Item in Magento) for each product ordered. These will hold customer entered input for the product; for example, dimensions. I’m not sure exactly how the data will be formatted, yet. I need to pass this information along with the order invoice so that customer service and manufacturing know exactly what the customer wants.
The problem is that text area data are not being saved to the order, but “varchar” types and “int"s are being saved properly. I’ve posted about it in the forums, but have yet to get a response. I think I will switch to all varchar types for the time being and hope that Magento 1.0 will have this problem solved.
