=====  Displaying PO payment option    =====


Displaying PO payment option if certain criteria is met, using the shipping_phone field to fake a custom field for the customer.

FoxEE Setup:

  -You must force the user to login on the EE side before you checkout. You can accomplish this by using the custom add to cart foxEE tag and using a hidden input redirect to redirect the user to a EE custom login/checkout page. Make sure to turn FoxyBox Off. You can turn it on later once you force the user to login and/or if you want the ability to update quantity of the items in the cart. I didn't really have time to figure out how to update quantity using foxEE tags.
  -Create a custom profile field called purchase order under the members and groups section. I use a straight text field and use either 0 or 1 in that field. 0 for false, 1 for true.
  - FoxEE Module --> General Settings --> Click "Automatically Create and Map Member Fields"
  - FoxEE Module --> General Settings --> Change the radio button for "Shipping Fields are the same?" = "No"
  - Map the shipping phone field to the purchase order field created in step 2.
  - Go to the member and click on edit profile. Set the member custom profile field.

FoxyCart Setup:

  - Enable purchase order purchase in the payment settings
  - Add the following code to the checkout template right above the </head> tag.

<code javascript>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var purchase_order = parseInt(jQuery('input[name=shipping_phone]').val());
window.alert( $('input[name=shipping_phone]').val());
if (purchase_order == 0) {
FC.checkout.config.storeDetails.supportsPurchaseOrder = false;
} else {
FC.checkout.config.storeDetails.supportsPurchaseOrder = true;
}
});</script>
</code>
  - Css hide the Shipping Phone Field using the CSS override documented on the foxycart site.
