My add to wishlist is not working.
 
I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or if it is a bug. The following.

My wishlist is nog working. If i try to add a product to my wishlist it redirects to easycheckout but says no items in wishlist and does not add the product.

Anyone know?

Jon 08-20-2005 08:22 PM

I had another client who had this problem, but I don't remember what it was. I think it was a bug in his wishlist php files, that redirected to the cart prematurely. Don't believe it to be anything to do with ezcheckout.

checkout mod
 
Hi Jon

I brought your checkout mod, about six months ago, i am doing a fresh install version 4.0.15, ive not been on this forum for a while so can you just let me know if your checkout works ok on v4.0.15 or have you done an updated dated version that is required for the later xcarts.
Many thanks Dean

Jon 09-15-2005 11:02 AM

You'll need an updated installation file. Please email me at info@websitecm.com.

daveb1 09-22-2005 07:21 AM

Just bought and installed EZcheckout...

The customer side works perfectly... much smoother.

BUT... just a small problem... I can't seem to modify products any more... from the admin screen, anything I click with "provider" rather than "admin" in the URL comes up with an Access Denied error, Error ID 37.

Anyone got any ideas? I've searched the forum, but come up blank.

Cheers

Dave

Jon 09-22-2005 08:09 AM

Hi Dave, unfortunately ezCheckout would not affect any files that would cause this error (if they did then you edited the wrong file).

This may be a bug with 4.0.15, did you upgrade again to the newest 4.0.16?

daveb1 09-22-2005 09:29 AM

No, I haven't got up to 4.0.16 yet... it took me the last 3 days just to get from 3.4.14 to 4.0.15, then they release a new version. I'm taking a short break from upgrading :)

Actually, it's started working again... very strange.... :?

Dave

daveb1 09-23-2005 08:40 AM

Hi

I'm sure I saw somewhere on this thread that someone had changed the invoice to show the thumbnail image instrad of the product code, but I can't find it now...

Anyone point me to where the code is please.

Cheers

Dave

Like your mod but why use MEMBER
 
When I use a shopping cart I shudder when I see the word Member as it summons up concern for being taken over by a club - I am not a member of an ordinary shop I am a CUSTOMER so why do I want to become a MEMBER? - I know this is semantic and possible trivial but my bet is that it puts a lot of people off buying from so called Membership sites.

Otherwise it is an excellent mod and I continue to be amazed that xcart has not tidied this area up years ago as it is so counter-intuitive.

Chris

daveb1 10-01-2005 02:59 PM

OK, I've been using EZCheckout and EZUpsell for 10 days or so now, and it's great... well worth the money.

One problem though, 99% of my sales are to anonymous customers, and this causes a problem if they don't live in the default country. The checkout process goes Your Cart (which has the default location shipping prices) >> customer details (billing & shipping) >> Method.

The problem is that if they change the shipping address to another country other than default, there is then no way for the customer to see the revised shipping cost unless they go back a step in the checkout process... not a good thing to do. The first time they get notified that the costs have increased due to increased shipping costs is when they hit the payment processor page.

If I untick the "When a customer isn't logged in, it is presumed that he is from the default country.:" tickbox, I don't get any shipping costs, and again the cart is never shown unless the customer actually click on the tab... then they have to click the "Checkout" button again... talk about confusing!

Can either

a) the cart show up again after the customer has put in the shipping details, so the revised shipping costs are shown, or

b) the login screen comes up first, with a text box saying something like "Once you have completed this page, you will be directed to your shopping cart to allow you to change shipping methods and checkout"

c) a mini version of the cart (or even just a single line with the total cost) show in the Method or Payment page, allowing the customer to see the revised costs, or

d) anyone think of any better solution than a) b) or c)?

Cheers

Dave

Jon 10-01-2005 03:19 PM

For complete details, undo step 7 of the installation process.

For a mini-cart, open skin1/customer/home_checkout.tpl

FIND:

Code:

{if $login ne ""}<p align="right"><form action="include/login.php" method=post name=loginform>{$login} [{$lng.lbl_logoff}]<input type=hidden name=mode value=logout><input type=hidden name=redirect value="customer"></form></p>{/if}

Replace with:

Code:

<div align="right">
<p align="right">{if $login ne ""}<form action="../include/login.php" method=post name=loginform><input type=hidden name=mode value=logout><input type=hidden name=redirect value="customer"></form>{$lng.lbl_loggedinas} {$login} [{$lng.lbl_logoff}] | {/if}{$lng.lbl_continue_shopping}</p>

<TABLE border=0 cellpadding=1 cellspacing=0>
<TR>
<TD rowspan=2 width=23>
{if $minicart_total_items > 0}[img]{$ImagesDir}/cart_full.gif[/img]{else}[img]{$ImagesDir}/cart_empty.gif[/img]{/if}
</TD>
{if $minicart_total_items > 0}
<TD class=VertMenuItems>{$lng.lbl_items}: </TD>
<TD class=VertMenuItems color=#0000ff>{$minicart_total_items}</TD>
<TD class=VertMenuItems>{$lng.lbl_total}: </TD>
<TD class=VertMenuItems>{include file="currency.tpl" value=$minicart_total_cost}</TD>
{else}
<TD class=VertMenuItems color=#0000ff>{$lng.lbl_cart_is_empty}</TD>
{/if}
</TR>
</TABLE>
</div>


daveb1 10-01-2005 03:37 PM

Just 20 minutes from question to solution. Now that's what I call service!!

Thanks Jon

BTW, can that mini cart have the shipping option shown in it? If so, can it be dynamically changed via a dropdown, just like in the cart itself?

No worries if it can't, but I thought it would be nice for my internation customers to have the option if possible.

Cheers

Dave

Jon 10-01-2005 03:54 PM

Adding the shipping to the mini-cart is probably more work.

What I would do, is undo step 7 of the installation instructions, and then customize it so that it's streamlined. For example, remove the product listing (they get the summary on the main cart page after all), which I believe you can do by removing the include of cart_contents.tpl

Then just take some time to massage the look and feel of it.

youngvet1 10-01-2005 07:21 PM

A problem i have noticed with this mod, which has prevented me from purchasing is the fact that it does not give the customer some sort of indication when a gift certificate is applied but does not cover the entire purchase cost? It just redirects them to payment method and leaves them lost IMO.

Jon 10-19-2005 12:16 PM

Easy Checkout has been improved, with easier installation, better gift certificate and shipping handling.

Details:

youngvet1 10-19-2005 12:48 PM

Hi Jon, can you explain more about the better shipping and gift certificate handling.
thanks

Jon 10-19-2005 03:07 PM

Yes, later tonight I'll update the screenshots which will show you how it works. It's just slightly different.

Jon 10-19-2005 04:56 PM

Most of the changes are for ease of installation, and a summary has been added to the payment methods page to display shipping and gift certificates.

There's a new set of screenshots available at:
http://www.websitecm.com/xcart-easy-checkout.html

Here's the Payment Methods page:

taltos1 10-24-2005 10:16 AM

I am having a small problem I was hoping you could help me with. The thin lines that are around the box are all fine but the the upper right. To the right of the tabs the line is gone but this only happens in IE. In firefox it does not? any insight would be awesome!!
THanks

jsa 11-11-2005 02:14 PM

I see some people running what appears to be this mod, with some of the steps stripped out.

How do they streamline it like that?

Jon 11-11-2005 03:15 PM

What steps appear stripped?

Triangle 12-21-2005 02:36 PM

I just installed the Easy Checkout mod successfully. Looking ofrward to a smoother checkout for my customers. I'm not sure if this is by default or if I did something wrong, but there a few things I need to fix.

1. There is not a border around the customer login and register areas. It is confusing because there is no distinction between them. How can I add a border or change the bgcolor just for those 2 areas? Here is a screenshot.

http://www.jiujitsugear.com/images/junk/login1.gif

2. On the screenshot you can see it says some form of "Login" four times on the left. Is this by default or did I screw something up? Seems excessive. How can I change that? (I do like the way websitecm.com has theirs set up!)

3. Something hosed my Submit button at the bottom of the Register section, on the Method page, and Payment "Submit Order." I guess its pulling from another style by default, but I am too dumb to figure it out. After the mod install it looks like this:

http://www.jiujitsugear.com/images/junk/submit.gif

Should be like this: [img]http://www.jiujitsugear.com/images/junk/go.gif[/img]

5. I edited home_checkout.tpl to include some text as quidance for that first screenshot above. It is carrying over to the top of the Payment page, too. What do I need to do differently so it only shows up on the Login page? Right now its just after

Thanks in advance for putting up with my questions!

Jon 12-21-2005 03:12 PM

1) Looks like your menu.tpl and dialog.tpl files are not using boxes, so there are no boxes here. Else there is some sort of customization that needs to be carried from home.tpl to home_checkout.tpl

2) You can edit your skin1/customer/main/anonymous_checkout.tpl to modify this page.

3) There's likely a color change missing in skin1/skin1.css

4) There was no #4 :)

5) Use {if $mode eq "checkout" AND $login eq ""}Show Text{/if}

Triangle 12-21-2005 06:03 PM

Thanks!

1. Changed the dialog border in dialog.tpl.

2. Edited anonymous_checkout.tpl and changed some label names for a short-term fix.

3. Got the button problem fixed. Yup, skin1.css issue.

4. I put the text in anonymous_checkout.tpl and that worked without needing that if/then statement.

Took me a while, but I got it looking better. Thanks again, Jon! Now on to Upsell and Recommend!

taltos1 06-19-2006 08:51 AM

Hello! I have a question.

I am using this excellent mod and when you "modify" your address it goes back to the standard X-cart page to edit the info, and I think it is a bit jarring as the EZ checkout mod has a very distinct visual layout.

How can I get it so that when they click on "modify" address in EZcheckout only, they stay in that area, but I still have the standard Xcart page if a customer is looking at their profile etc..

Thanks a lot.

Jon 06-20-2006 12:09 PM

Try this:

Open register.php

FIND:

Code:

func_display("customer/home.tpl",$smarty);

Replace with:

Code:

if ($action == "cart") {
    func_display("customer/home_checkout.tpl",$smarty);
} else {
    func_display("customer/home.tpl",$smarty);
}


taltos1 06-20-2006 08:14 PM

Thank you so much. I am again impressed with your knowledge..

taltos1 06-28-2006 09:43 AM

Hello,
I just found out that when you get a credit card error (wrong #, etc) you also get pushed to the standard xcart screen.

Just like the code you suggested for the address change, can you tell me how to do this so the error codes stay in ezcheckout?

Thanks again.

Jon 06-28-2006 09:44 AM

Can you give me the exact url accessed for the error?

taltos1 06-28-2006 10:07 AM

It is here:
Thank you[/code]

Jon 06-28-2006 10:18 AM

Try this:

Open error_message.php

FIND:

Code:

func_display("customer/home.tpl",$smarty);

Replace with:

Code:

if ($error == "error_ccprocessor_error") {
    func_display("customer/home_checkout.tpl",$smarty);
} else {
    func_display("customer/home.tpl",$smarty);
}


taltos1 06-28-2006 10:43 AM

Amazing. Thanks again, in my humble opinion, these last 2 edits you helped me with should be included with the mod, small fixes, but makes the whole process much smoother. Thanks so much.

Jon 06-28-2006 10:47 AM

^ Probably so, we've tried to keep the amount of edits down however as some people aren't as proficient at edits which result in support cost. :)

Re: Easy Checkout Mod for X-Cart 3.5.x and 4.0.x
 
On 4.0.18,

I have a LOGOUT link somewhere on the site.

When I click it, it does log me out but it leaves me at

cart.php?mode=checkout

and defaults to highlight the LOGIN tab.

and in addition, it doesnt showing the login tab info,

it shows the empty cart message.
Your shopping cart
The items below are currently in your shopping cart. To remove any item click "Delete item". To checkout, please click "Checkout". Please note that Delivery method is ignored if you are ordering Gift Certificates or Electronically distributed products.


What I want is when the customer clicks on the Logout link,
they get logged out and are taken to the home page.

thanks.

ecommerce 09-08-2006 01:02 AM

Re: Easy Checkout Mod for X-Cart 3.5.x and 4.0.x
 
Jon,

I want to put a left 25px border and a right 25 border around your whole checkout.


<left td with image 25px> your checkout <right td with image 25px>

hope u get the idea.

i've been unsuccessful. Please point me in the right direction.

Jon 09-08-2006 10:11 AM

Re: Easy Checkout Mod for X-Cart 3.5.x and 4.0.x
 
Not quite sure what you mean, but something like this should suffice:

<table width="750" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="25">&nbsp;</td>
<td>

[ Original code will go here]

</td>
<td width="25">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
