changing checkout process

When a customer clicks on checkout I would like to have them sent to a page which first asks:

1. Already a member? Enter user/pass (login button)
2. Not a member? Click here to register (or why register)

I want this to be the first part of the checkout process. Then after login or register... the customer can be sent to the regular checkout page. Oh and for those who aren't psychic... i'm using vs. 4.0.13.

Any ideas?

See if the checkout process at http://www.angelacarolpearls.com/ is what you are talking about.

checkout process

That's partly what I'm looking for only without the cart details at the top. When a customer clicks on view cart (if they are not already logged in) I want them to be sent to a page similar to this http://www.angelacarolpearls.com/my_account.php?xid=34f9ea4f71d618db31766439d087e6a 5&.

In fact I would like to setup a simialr 'my account' page could you advise me on its setup?

Yes, that would be what I'm looking to do. Could you tell me how you created that page?

I've streamlined the checkout process with my ezCheckout mod, which does incorporate this screen:

Here is my checkout setup:

http://www.TruckSHOP.com/ebay/checkout_screen.jpg

The first checkout step is located in customer/main/anonymous_checkout.tpl

If you want to remove the cart details, comment out or remove this section of code:

Code:

{capture name=checkout_dialog}

<FORM action="cart.php" method="POST" name="cartform">



<INPUT type="hidden" name="cart_operation" value="cart_operation">



{if $config.Appearance.show_cart_details eq "Y" or ($config.Appearance.show_cart_details eq "L" and $smarty.get.paymentid ne "" and $smarty.get.mode eq "checkout")}

{include file="customer/main/cart_details.tpl"}

{else}

{include file="customer/main/cart_contents.tpl"}

{/if}

<HR noshade size="1">




{include file="customer/main/cart_totals.tpl"}








{include file="buttons/update.tpl" href="javascript: document.cartform.submit()" js_to_href="Y"}

</FORM>

{/capture}

{include file="dialog.tpl" title="`$lng.lbl_checkout`: `$lng.lbl_step` `$checkout_step` `$lng.lbl_of` `$total_checkout_steps`" content=$smarty.capture.checkout_dialog extra="width=100%"}

To have a login box displayed next to the customer registration field, change the rest of the code in customer/main/anonymous_checkout.tpl to the following:

Code:

<TABLE>

<TR valign="top" width="30%">

<TD>

{include file="main/error_login_incorrect.tpl"}

</TD>

<TD valign="top" align="middle" width="10%">











OR

</TD>

<TD width="60%">

To create a new account, enter your information below:








{include file="customer/main/register.tpl"}

</TD>

</TR>

</TABLE>

You may need to modify some of your language files to have the login message make sense.

That's very helpful. :lol:

Spot on sportruck, that's what I was looking for as well. Thanks.

sportruck,

your checkout looks nice.

One quick question about the username. How did you modify it so that user does not have to enter an email address and a username.

This is the functionality I have been looking for. It seems redundant to have a seperate username field since their email address is unique.

I will appreciate it if you share how you did it.

Thanks

Have a look at our ezCheckout mod:

From the screenshots that seems what sportruck posted above ..

On the pearls website that we are interested in you only seem to have 3 main areas ( cart info, registered customers and new customers) and not that huge column for new user data.

I need the functionality of being able to have the user use their email as the login name or username, not a seperate username. Ezcheckout mod does not have that functionality.

The pearls site will have the huge area for new user data on the next step for non registered users, they just moved it a step back. You could do the same by putting the login box and html text linking to the next checkout step on your cart page.

There's a free mod for this on the forum, I believe it's posted by b00mer.
