Prestashop 1.6
I created a module that adds a form to the product page. I used the prestashop module generator to create a basic bare-bones module. It doesn't do anything except add a form to the product page via a hook.
I am using the default-bootstrap theme.
The form is generated via a .tpl file that is based on which category the product is in (i.e. if it's in category A, then it shows form A). The form looks like this:
<form id="engraving_selection">
<h3>Engraving Options</h3>
<input type="radio" name="engraving" value="Engrave-Different" id="engrave_different" checked="checked">Unique engraving for each item<br />
<input type="radio" name="engraving" value="Engrave-Same" id="engrave_same">The engraving would the same on each item<br />
<input type="radio" name="engraving" value="No-Engraving" id="no_engraving">I would not like engraving<br />
</form>
<form id="engraving_options">
<h4>Engraving Text</h4>
<div id="items">
<div class="item" data-position="1">
<h4 id="engraving-item">Item 1</h4>
<label>Engraving Line 1: </label>
<input type="text" class="engraving-input" name="line1-trophy" id="item1">
<br />
<label>Engraving Line 2: </label>
<input type="text" class="engraving-input" name="line2-trophy" id="item1">
<br />
<label>Engraving Line 3: </label>
<input type="text" class="engraving-input" name="line3-trophy" id="item1">
<br />
</div>
</div>
</form>
The form is a selection of radio inputs, followed by 3 text inputs. If the user changes the quantity, an additional 3 inputs are added accordingly via javascript (so if the user changes the quantity to '2', then 2 sets of the 3 inputs appear for customization on each product).
I would like some guidance on saving these inputs and the information the user has entered when the user clicks 'add to cart' so that it may be retrieved / edited later (before the user checks out).
Some research has led me to ajax-cart.js and this function specifically:
add : function(idProduct, idCombination, addedFromProductPage, callerElement, quantity, whishlist)
What is the best way to do pass in that data so it can be saved/retrieved?
Ultimately I would like it to be included on the order (obviously) and saved to the database with that order for future use.
I know the plugin Attribute Wizard Pro exists - but I'm looking to expand my knowledge and make something on my own.
If there are other ways to go about this that would be cleaner/easier I'm open to those suggestions as well.
