Credit Card Expiry Date Length
 

I notice the CC expiry date is only 4 digits and doesn't seem to cater for customers who format it incorrectly e.g. put a space/dash/slash in between the numbers e.g. 04-06 which would end up as 04-0 on the order.

I guess you can change the field length easily? What is the ratio of having to contact people who put the number in wrongly or am I worrying too much? :wink:

Thanks

You can always create two drop downs for the exp. date and then re-combine the values in payment_cc.php

code for combining two fields using php?
 

Hi boomer,

What code is used to join 2 fields?

Thanks,
Chris

same problem for me
 

same problem for me 5 percent of the customers make this mistake,,

is there any way to solve this problem?

The X-Cart team have given me the instructions to make my field size bigger which will work with offline payments:


For the select boxes, and I need some guidance here, I was thinking of changing this code in register_ccinfo.tpl:


to something like:


and then concatenating the two fields like so in payment_cc.php:


This is just a guess based on reading some information on concatenating strings in php. Am I on the right track?

Dan

Dan, your modifications look good to me.

Yes, . (period) is the concat equivalent to combine two strings.

:wink:

Code question
 

What changes need to be made to the code? My specific concern is the value="{$userinfo.card_expire}"


Original code in the register_ccinfo.tpl:

<input type=text name=card_expire size=4 maxlength=4 value="{$userinfo.card_expire}">


New code in the register_ccinfo.tpl:

<select name=card_expire_month>
<option value="01">01</OPTION>
<option value="02">02</OPTION>
<option value="03">03</OPTION>
<option value="04">04</OPTION>
<option value="05">05</OPTION>
<option value="06">06</OPTION>
<option value="07">07</OPTION>
<option value="08">08</OPTION>
<option value="09">09</OPTION>
<option value="10">10</OPTION>
<option value="11">11</OPTION>
<option value="12">12</OPTION>
</select>
<select name=card_expire_year>
<option value="04">2004</OPTION>
<option value="05">2005</OPTION>
<option value="06">2006</OPTION>
<option value="07">2007</OPTION>
<option value="08">2008</OPTION>
<option value="09">2009</OPTION>
<option value="10">2010</OPTION>
<option value="11">2011</OPTION>
<option value="12">2012</OPTION>
</select>

Thanks,
Chris

Not sure of your version of X-Cart but I'm on 3.5.4 and the code is:


I still haven't tried this hack yet though :wink:.

I'm not sure what your code you posted is trying to do, as it looks like the $userinfo.card_expire has already been given a value, so I would guess the change needs to happen elsewhere, at an earlier stage perhaps.

Maybe some of the guru's would like to comment.

CC Expiry Date Problems
 

I have also had about 7% of my orders with the CC expiry date jacked up. Since the field is only 4 digits it doesn't seem to cater for customers who format it incorrectly e.g. put a space/dash/slash in between the numbers e.g. 04-06 or more often 1/06, which doesn't allow me to process the order and delays shipment, which tends to make customers unhappy.

The cart performance is a direct reflection of the type of business I run, so I would like to resolve the issue quickly. Since I'm still not an expert, I would appreciate EXACT instructions from a "Guru" who can tell me how to perform the mod.

What I've found in this post doesn't exactly give me the confidence I need to move forward, too many unanswered questions...

Thanks,

Comment or remove the above code, replace it with:


Now edit include/register.php

After hacking attempt print (around line 51) add:
