Jon, do you know how i would go about this.

in my register.tpl i already have a message for those who have not logged in yet for example

Already registered??

Quote:

please enter your username and password in the boxes below and your details will be retrieved

Now that works fine on the normal customer registration (i have the customer login and customer registration on the same page in two different tables) , but when it comes to the checkout login/regitration the texts are basically doubled up as there is text at the top which basically says the same thing

how do I hide MY text if the customer is on the checkout pages

i thought this

Code:

{if $main ne "cart"}<tr>

    <td align="center"><h1>{$lng.lbl_already_registered}</h1></td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td>{$lng.txt_already_registered}</td>

  </tr>{/if}

and also changed "cart" to "checkout" to see if that worked but not luck

Any ideas?

Try using:

{if $mode ne "checkout"}
SHOW MY TEXT HERE
{/if}

Jon,

You get my PM?

Worked a treat, cheers once again

Step 8 --- Open "/include/register.php"

My file looks like this:

Code:

        elseif ($action == "cart") {

                if (!empty($reg_error) || !empty($av_error) || !empty($av_recheck)) {

                        if (empty($login))

                        # Anonymous checkout

                                $script = "cart.php?mode=checkout";

                        elseif (!empty($paymentid))

                                $script = "register.php?mode=update&action=cart&paymentid=".intval($paymentid);

                        else

                                $script = "register.php?mode=update&action=cart";

                }

                elseif (empty($paymentid))

                        $script = "cart.php?mode=checkout&registered=";

                else

                        $script = "cart.php?mode=checkout&paymentid=".intval($paymentid);

        }

Any suggestions on how to properly edit this file?

On 4.0.8 you won't have to edit the register.php

Due to the upgrades of 4.0 the install instructions need to be updated. Sorry for any difficulties.

If you have problems let me know and I will be happy to assist you.

Those who would like an updated .zip file please PM me your order # and email address.

Those who ordered from BCSE or from Firetank will need to contact them for the updated .zip so they can verify your order.

https for whole checkout process from login/reg screen ?

Hi Jon,

I bought this Mod and it's great =D> worth every penny!

Its a live 3.5.7 site - I have made some changes to include a checkout journey graphic, and moved the shipping details out of registration to the payment screen (which works quite well) - see www.newcrowd.com

The one thing that I have been asked to do from visiting customers is make the whole chekout process https (from the login/registration screen onwards. This would give them a warm secure feeling right from the start so they don't back out before the secure stuff kicks in.

Currently checkout moves into https on the payment screen anyway as I have 'enable https for registraions and checkout' checked.

I thought this would be an easy update of the href link for the checkout buttons, but it seems like even hardcoding the checkout link to https the cart seems to revert it back to http. 8O

I'm bit baffled by this one and must be missing something big time so any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers for now,

John

A satisfied customer

Hi, I've just bought Jon's mod and have to add my voice to the chorus of approval. My purchase was prompted by looking at my cart conversion funnel and noticing that for every 100 people that started a cart only 20 made it to completion - worse than that, for every 30 that made it to step 3 only 10 of them actually managed to place an order. That's something of a disaster and speaks volumes about the clunkiness and non-intuitiveness of the X-Cart default system. I must admit that I never had a problem myself with the default cart but I am used to buying online, for a newcomer it must have been very puzzling.

The install of the mod was straightforward, and now that it is live it not only looks better but it seems a hell of a lot quicker as well. The thing I like most is the way it effectively takes you out of the store while you checkout so you are not being distracted by other things that you might be buying from the side menus. This concentrates the customers mind on checking out and drags him through it in an intuitive manner.

This is an unreserved recommendation - if you're sitting on the fence go and buy it.

Thanks Jon, you're a star!

Easy Checkout rocks hands down. I get compliments on how efficient it is, even from long time customers who didn't have a problem with the default X-Cart checkout system.

My conversion rate has gone up 25% and there are less abandoned carts.

Is it worth the money? Ask yourself if you can afford to NOT have it.
