I have a custom report based on the tutorial at http://wrightcreativelabs.com/create-a-custom-magento-report-product-skus-in-new-orders/. The report is working well as is. Now I'm trying to add a customer comments column to the report. The customer comments are coming from the One Page Checkout extension. I have the column added with:
$this->addColumn('comment', array(
'header' => Mage::helper('reportneworders')->__('Special Instructions'),
'align' => 'left',
'sortable' => false,
'index' => 'comment'
));
The problem is in the collection. The gift message works, but when the comment is added, the report is broken. I know I must be using the wrong id or reference to the comment.
->joinLeft(
array('c' => 'order_comment'),
'c.order_comment = order_items.order_comment',
array(
'comment' => 'comment'
))
->joinLeft(
array('g' => 'gift_message'),
'g.gift_message_id = order_items.gift_message_id',
array(
'message' => 'message'
))
The One Page Checkout textarea for the comment looks like this:
<textarea name="order-comment" id="order-comment"><?php echo trim(Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getOrderCustomerComment()) ?></textarea>
I appreciate any advice.
