Hi David,
All the other expected fields are in the voucher edit form, but not the "description" field (voucher_codes_edit.php).
I tried to create a "description" field using the process here: http://www.pricetapestry.com/node/5837, and I have a table field "description" now, and form "Description" data entry box, but form doesn't write to table on save. Note, I did not complete final step: "in vouchers.php look for the following code at line 17", because I thought the description field didn't apply to search.
Before I proceed further, am I "missing something" with setup of voucher descriptions?
Thanks!
Ken.

Yes, this very complete answer helped a lot, thank you!
Hello Ken,
That should work fine assuming a replacement of "link" with "description" but for completeness, to add a description field you first run the following dbmod.php script:
<?phprequire("includes/common.php");
$sql = "ALTER TABLE `".$config_databaseTablePrefix."vouchers`
ADD `description` TEXT NOT NULL";
database_queryModify($sql,$result);
print "Done.";
?>
And then modify admin/voucher_codes_edit.php as follows:
The to add the field to the edit voucher code form, in admin/voucher_codes_edit.php look for the following code at line 152:
valid_to = '%s'...and REPLACE with:
valid_to = '%s',description = '%s'
Then look for the following code at line 164:
database_safe($_POST["valid_to"])...and REPLACE with:
database_safe($_POST["valid_to"]),database_safe($_POST["description"])
And to add the form field, look for the following code at line 404:
print "</fieldset>";...and REPLACE with:
widget_textBox("Description","description",FALSE,(isset($_POST["description"]) ? $_POST["description"] : ""),"",12);print "</fieldset>";
With that in place, look for the following code in vouchers.php at line 50:
$vouchers[$k]["text"] .= " ".translate("using voucher code")." <strong>".$voucher["code"]."</strong>";...and to use the new description field in addition to the auto-generated description, REPLACE with:
$vouchers[$k]["text"] .= " ".translate("using voucher code")." <strong>".$voucher["code"]."</strong>";$vouchers[$k]["text"] .= " ".$voucher["description"];
...or to use the new description field exclusively:
$vouchers[$k]["text"] = $voucher["description"];Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
