2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods
 

Hi gang,

I recently implemented TWO new versions of the standard xcart
fastlane checkout (progress bar). I've made both versions FREELY available here:
http://www.xcartdesigner.com/

To download the mods & see a demo, click here:
http://www.xcartdesigner.com/xcart-fastlane-mod.html

Each mod comprises of some install instructions, css, smarty,
.jpg image and the master Fireworks .png image.

The install instructions are contained within the "readme.txt" file in each zip file.

This is my first free mod, I hope to release more as time goes by :)

regards
W.

Hi mitash, carpeperdiem

Hope you enjoy the mod.
We have several new skins\designs in development at the moment.
Hope to have at least one of them ready in a few weeks.
We'll keep you posted.

Looks very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing the skins you're working on.

I can't seem to get the linear mod to display anything. I'm using the Flexy Rectangles skin, so maybe that has something to do with it.

I still have the mod active on my site at www.jbox.ca if a view page source would shed any light on things.

Thanks,
Jason

Re: 2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods
 

I can't get the image to display either.

Re: 2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods
 

I guess I will change the include in home.tpl back to use the stock Fast Lane progress image until someone figures this out. I've been going through the code in the mod and in the Fast Lane Checkout module for hours and haven't been able to find anything myself (I am quite a novice at coding still however).

Thanks,
Jason

Re: 2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods
 

The problem may be related to a fixed position vs. relative in the CSS that displays the image... different stores may have different headers -- let me look at this (just thinking out loud)

NO -- it is not this. I can't seem to get my head around this. I reverted to what was.

Re: 2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods
 

Sounds strange indeed.

If you guys want to contact me, and activate the module and then I can examine the code. We should be able to sort this out pretty quickly.

Nice mod Will, good work ;-)

Re: 2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods
 

Hi Will,

One thng right away: your css that you advise to copy/paste -- the COMMENTS are not valid css comment code...


should be:

That solves the css validation issue...

However, the image is not appearing on my checkout. If you want to dig in, PM me with the best time to do a live chat, and we can AIM chat or MSN or whatever and figure this out. I'm willing to help you nail this.

Re: 2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods
 

Hi gang,

I've figured out the problem you are having...

I accidentally made reference to the incorrect image in the css.
That's what happens when you rush something :(

For Linear:
I called it
"checkout-tabs-linear.jpg"
it should have been
"checkout-steps-linear.jpg".

For Standard:
I called it
"checkout-tabs.jpg"
it should have been
"checkout-steps.jpg".

To fix this problem simply replace the image names in your css file or download the updated zip files here:
http://www.xcartdesigner.com/xcart-fastlane-mod.html

Hope that does the trick.

regards
W.

Re: 2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods
 

Yes! It does the trick. Very nice mod, Will. Thank you!

Re: 2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods
 

Excellent! Fixed! Man, I stared at that code for I don't know how long and didn't catch it. Great mod. Thanks William.

Re: 2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods
 

Has anybody tried this in 4.0.19?

Re: 2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods
 

Hi Jack,

the mod should work with all versions of xcart that use the new fastlane checkout feature.

If you have a few minutes spare try install the mod and see how it goes. If you have any problems I'll jump in and give you a hand.

Re: 2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods
 

Hi folks,

I've updated the zip file again to remove a potential css issue
that some people may encounter depending on how their site is structured.

In my old css, I had the following code:

a.span {display:none;}

This code is fine and works perfectly with my mod,
however it may interfere with other 3rd party mods
if these mods rely on the use of the <a><span>...</span></a> code sequence.

Anyway, to resolve any potential issues, do the following:
1. Download the new mod zip file
2. Update your css file with the code provided (styles.css)
3. Upload the new "tabs_menu_with_image_linear.tpl" or "tabs_menu_with_image.tpl"
(depending on which mod you are using)

Thanks to carpeperdiem for lighlighting this issue to me.
I sent him on the fix as soon I was informed of this problem.

regards
W.

Re: 2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods
 

Well that works just perfectly now! We were ripping our hair out yesterday, trying to figure out why my mods from PhilJ, including ulitmate speedbar and ultimate tabs all died!

This was a 4am discovery. Ugh. Thanks for solving this.

Re: 2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods
 

No worries, glad I could help :)

Re: 2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods

Re: 2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods

Re: 2 FREE Fastlane checkout mods
 

Hi a1deano,

Glad you like the mod.

Great mod. Took about 5 minutes to install. Looks a lot better than the default progress bar.
