How to add text to the order form template?

[kanjigirl]

I'm trying to add some text to order-signup.tpl asking clients to use an offsite email address rather than one associated with their hosting account - for notifications about server issues, etc.

 

I'm using the Default order form along with the Portal site. I've made my changes to default/order-signup.tpl and uploaded it but they are not showing in the order form. I've cleared the cache and history, restarted the browser session, still no change.

 

Is there something I'm missing?

Why don't you just add a custom field for that? Adding an input field manually to your .tpl isn't going to work.

I don't want to add an input field - I want to add a line of text above the email field that says 'please enter an email address that's not connected to the hosting account you're setting up.' Just text.

 

I don't want to do this as a custom field, I want the customer to use an outside email address as their primary email.

You can try removing the contents of the /templates_c/ folder.

 

(Are you running WHMCS v3 by the way?)
