Add new Element

I need to add a text area as a custom field to the service area. How can I do this?

or is there a additional plugin that allows me to extend the element types for the custom fields?

Thanks in advance for your help. You guys are the best when it comes to support!

Hi Enrika ,
Unfortunately, OS Services Booking doesn't allow to add the textarea or inputbox field at the services area. These field types can only be added at the booking form.
Thanks

Ok thanks.... now I understand that these fields can only be created in booking form. But please let me know how I create a new TextAREA within the booking form.. I can do it manually if you give me some direction as to which files I need to edit.

Thanks Dam!

Hi Enrika,
You must edit a lot places to add textarea in OS Services Booking.
1. You need to edit 2 files
- administrator > components > com_osservicesbooking >classes >fields.php
- administrator > components > com_osservicesbooking >classes >fields.html.php
2 above fields are used to manage the extra fields of system

2 You also need to modify function orderField in file components > com_osservicesbooking >classes > default.php
to show the custom fields at the frontend

Good luck
Dam

Thank you. Thank you THank you.

Now #2 How do you get custom fields (text fields) to show up in email template. Right now only the custom select list's and checkboxes are showing up????

Do I need to make a new topic??

Thanks for your help
