Adding "textarea" form to products

Hello,
I would like to add a few "customizable" signs to a current site that is live.

THE GOAL, is to allow customers to add their own personalized text to a "SIGN" and send this with their order.

I need 1 field for an email address, domain name, or personal name, etc..
There are also signs already on the site that do not, and will not, require this customization.However the form shows up on these pages also which I guess is OK. I can live with it.

Can you give me some direction how to finish the coding?
I already made an attempt at this at 247sign.com/products_detail
I added a form "textarea" to the products_details page
I added a column to the ps4_orderdetails named "DetailPersonalize"
This is where I am having difficulties moving forward
What's next?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would not have gotten this far without your tech support.
Thank you very much.
Dan

you dont need to modify the power store code for this, you can already do this in power tore using Simple options.

when editing a product in the power store admin section, Click the Add Product Options button, then select Add / Manage Simple Options.

on the Manage Simple Options Page, enter a name for the Option, when prompted for a default option, check the box to "Allow the User to enter a Value"
