# Exanto Ordercomments
#
This extension enables the customer to write a comment at the end of the
checkout process. It uses Magentos native comment facility, so it should work
even in later versions.
### Step 1
You have to add a small snippet to your Checkout Onepage Agreements Template to
include the textarea into the checkout process. An example is placed in:
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/ordercomments/checkout_onepage_agreements.phtml
and you have to put the marked snippet into
app/design/frontend/default/<your_theme>/template/checkout/onepage/agreements.phtml
### Step 2
Add some CSS to your stylesheet to pretty the input area:
textarea#customerOrderComment {
height:100px;
margin-top:5px;
padding:5px;
width:50%;
}
### Step 3
Place this snippet in your email templates where the customer comment should appear:
{{depend order.getEmailCustomerNote()}}
<h3 style="border-bottom:2px solid #eee; font-size:1.05em; padding-bottom:1px;">Ihr Kommentar zu dieser Bestellung</h3>
<div style="padding:7px 9px 9px 9px; border:1px solid #bebcb7; background:#f8f7f5;">
{{var order.getEmailCustomerNote()}}
</div>
<br />
{{/depend}}
### Step 4
Test, done.
