While trying to implement partial payments, I modified the ManageEvent/fee.tpl and .php to add partial_payment_receipt and partial_payment_text (and min_initial_amount), as well as created the column in the event database. 

These were done exactly the same way that the pay_later_receipt and pay_later_text is done, but for some reason no information is loaded or saved from these new fields, and I am having some trouble figuring out why this is the case.  The min_initial_amount field itself is updating to the DB fine.

I've added the partial_payment_text/receipt in all files that pay_later is using that relates to events..  (based off a global grep for pay_later from the civicrm root dir). This includes the event DAO object itself.

The main code from fee.php looks like such, showing my addition and the original pay_later fields..

    //SEBEDIT - add partial-payment options
    $this->addElement('checkbox', 'is_partial_payment', ts('Enable Partial Payments?'), NULL,
      array('onclick' => "return showHideByValue('is_partial_payment','','is_partial_paymentOptions','block','radio',false);")
    );
    $this->addElement('textarea', 'partial_payment_text', ts('Partial Payment Label'),
      CRM_Core_DAO::getAttribute('CRM_Event_DAO_Event', 'partial_payment_text'),
      FALSE
    );
    $this->add('text', 'min_initial_amount', ts('Minimum Payment'));

    $this->addWysiwyg('partial_payment_receipt', ts('Partial Payment Instructions'), CRM_Core_DAO::getAttribute('CRM_Event_DAO_Event', 'partial_payment_receipt'));
 
   
    // add pay later options
    $this->addElement('checkbox', 'is_pay_later', ts('Enable Pay Later option?'), NULL,
      array('onclick' => "return showHideByValue('is_pay_later','','payLaterOptions','block','radio',false);")
    );
    $this->addElement('textarea', 'pay_later_text', ts('Pay Later Label'),
      CRM_Core_DAO::getAttribute('CRM_Event_DAO_Event', 'pay_later_text'),
      FALSE
    );
    $this->addWysiwyg('pay_later_receipt', ts('Pay Later Instructions'), CRM_Core_DAO::getAttribute('CRM_Event_DAO_Event', 'pay_later_receipt'));

The template fee.tpl is as such:
        <table id="is_partial_payment" class="form-layout">
            <tr class="crm-event-manage-fee-form-block-is_partial_payment">
               <td class="extra-long-fourty label">{$form.is_partial_payment.html}</td>

                  <span class="description">{ts}Check this box if you want to give users the option to submit a partial payment (e.g. a security deposit to reserve a spot in an event.).{/ts}</span>

(These are placed in my custom template and php dirs)

I am having some trouble figuring out why the exact same code works for pay_later_text and _receipt, but not for my new entries. Hmm!
