Ubercart

Today I needed to add a custom textfield to the 'customer information' pane in Ubercart. After much searching, I wasn't able to find any modules that would allow this to happen, so I wrote my own. I found this article, which gave me the starting block (as it was written for Drupal 6 I believe). 1.

The SMTP module alone will not route system generated emails from Ubercart through the SMTP module.

Today I was setting up a shopping cart with Ubercart and Drupal 7 and I noticed that I was getting two registration emails. One from the Drupal user module that said:

USERNAME,

Thank you for registering at SITE_NAME.

I'm in the process of building a custom Ubercart module that allows users to dynamically enter sizes using Ubercart's uc_attributes module. The problem I ran into is that I needed to theme these custom attributes in the cart_view_form and cart_checkout_form to add a suffix behind value. Initially I overwrote the original theme file in my module using the phptemplate_ prefix. This worked great, however, after further consideration I realized the flaw in this logic. Overriding the theme like this would not allow other user's to override that theme file. So back to the drawing board I went.
