textarea value

[Nathan]

I'm trying to modify some wordpress files and I don't know what the "value" is called within a text area.

$this->checkout_fields['order']	= array(
			'order_comments' => array(
				'type' => 'textarea',
				'class' => array('notes'),
				'label' => __( 'Order Notes', 'woocommerce' ),
				'placeholder' => _x('Notes about your order, e.g. special notes for delivery.', 'placeholder', 'woocommerce')
				)
			);

		$this->checkout_fields = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields', $this->checkout_fields );

		do_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_init', $this );

I need to put a value of a variable in that textarea.  I tried the following code but it does nothing.

$this->checkout_fields['order']	= array(
			'order_comments' => array(
				'type' => 'textarea',
				'class' => array('notes'),
				'label' => __( 'Order Notes', 'woocommerce' ),
				'placeholder' => _x('Notes about your order, e.g. special notes for delivery.', 'placeholder', 'woocommerce')
                'value' => $giftmsg
				)
			);

		$this->checkout_fields = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields', $this->checkout_fields );

		do_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_init', $this );

Aha!

 

Looks like it called "default" whether that's html or the WordPress I'm unsure, but it's working now.

$giftmsg = $_SESSION['giftmsg'];
		$this->checkout_fields['order']	= array(
			'order_comments' => array(
				'type' => 'textarea',
				'class' => array('notes'),
				'label' => __( 'Order Notes', 'woocommerce' ),
				'placeholder' => _x('Notes about your order, e.g. special notes for delivery.', 'placeholder', 'woocommerce'),
                'default' => $giftmsg
				)
			);

		$this->checkout_fields = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields', $this->checkout_fields );

		do_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_init', $this );
