New WooCommerce Extension - Custom Product Form Fields
I would love to see an Extension for WooCommerce to add "custom form fields" functionality to the products pages. In some cases extra information needs to be captured along with the product or service you are selling.
For example: I am selling services and I need to get a date, time, and driving directions from the purchaser.
Or I am selling a sign product and need to know a phone number, type (maybe a dropdown with options), and directions.
I can not find any cart solution (out of the box) that can do this. So a great addition to your WooCommerce could be "Product Forms Plugin" to allow users to create simple forms, then attach them to products to capture custom info. I would pay $$$ for this!!! Please consider developing this. I am sure many of us could use ad extension like this.

Is there a possibility to add an extra price field? In Europe one would hve to add a 100g price or price per kilo for food products... how can i handle this issue?

Thanks for the code this works great. Only problem is it shows the text input as the slug on the cart page. E.g Happy Birthday Joe in the text input becomes happy-birthday-joe

@Filtah and @aschroder - thank you!!
I agree the "CUSTOM_TEXT" in the Additional Info doesn't look good, but I think that the whole area looks clunky, so I'm just going to remove it.
This hack has really got me out of a massive hole, I hope that WooCommerce will integrate this feature soon.

Hello,
you can add extra fields and even file upload on product page by N-Media plugin:

Got the custom field to work, however is there anyway to get rid of the "CUSTOM_TEXT" in the additional information tab?

If it says completed what does that mean? and why would I still have to change the code in the variable.php in order to get custom product form fields? Wrodpress and woocommerce are so progressive in what they have to offer I am surprised they are missing such a basic feature. I mean by not including it they are excluded a large number of businesses that require custom fields, like bakeries(cakes), flowers (delivery), pizza (delivery), print (text, like a customer printed shirt to whatever)
By if this was implemented in why are people still unable to find it?
Thanks

It's because add-to-cart-variation.min.js doesn't see any option select so it makes add to cart button hidden. Simply woocommerce thinks that no option is selected.
Really ugly messy but working fix i've pasted here.
http://pastebin.com/ykR6Ar2fHope it helps until someone takes more time to refine .js

Big props to @filtah for trying to sort this. I've got as far as seeing the free text box on my screen but my Add to basket button is missing. I have set a price for the variation. Any ideas?

One more thing, as mentioned before, to be able to use this fix you need to create a variable product. Add a custom product attribute with any name but with the value 'CUSTOM_TEXT' (without quotes..)
Save the page.
Now add a variation, give it a price, and save again.
You should see your custom text box now on the product page. -

Right, I finally figured this out. The code posted earlier from github is correct, however the file and location of where to post it has completely changed!!!!
I figured it out by painstakingly searching all the source files text contents for similar code!!!!
I'm not php guru and there's a lot of code here. anyway, I figured it out and i'm posting as others may find this useful.the file you are looking for is buried here:
woocommerce/templates/single-product/add-to-cart/variable.phpYou need to add only a few lines of code.
The code form github should be able to guide you but for gods sake, dont just copy-paste the whole thing!I am using WooCommerce 1.6.6
It's too diffucult to explain how to edit the code, so heres a link to the patched version, so you can just replace your existing file without any need for coding:
https://gist.github.com/4577058
Please note - if you update WooComerce it will overwrite and break this fix.
Please do yourself a favour and also have a look at the code so you can see the simple changes I've made - you will need to manually re-apply them for a version update as the code will probably be a bit different.Cheers

Can we get an update on this before I start trying to hack at code I don't understand?

I don;t agree that it should be an extension that you have to pay for. That's rediculious. We should be able to modify fields from WC or just let people figure it out by reading this http://wcdocs.woothemes.com/snippets/tutorial-customising-checkout-fields-using-hooks-and-filters/

Is there an update to this post yet? I really need an extension or modified PHP file as well that will allow for text input product variations just like Fred needed.

Did anything ever become of this? I am in dyer need of the same exact thing. I can't get this hack to work because there is no file called woocommerce_template_functions.php. I see a woocommerce_functions.php, woocommerce_template.php but nothing exactly as Ahsley says.
Is there a plugin yet or can someone help me figure this out? i just need a text box for attributes to the user can add their own attributes.
