How to modify credit card description fields ?
 

Where is the file to modify these credit card description fields?

Credit card type Visa MasterCard American Express Switch Solo
Cardholder's name
Credit card number (no spaces or dashes)
Valid from (MMYY) (if not present, leave blank)
Expiration date (MMYY)
CVV2
Issue No. (if not present, leave blank)

I had customers who asked me what cvv2 means and I will like to include a description. Also I would like to modify where it says ( if not present leave blank)

Thanks

There should be a little question mark next to it that when you click on it brings up the explanation, well there is on my version 4.0.5 , unfortunatley you have put the version you are using into your signature so we have no way of knowing what version to help you with.

First of all, if we had an indication of your version, it would help.

In the different versions this issue is handled differently.

Older 3.4.x versions you had to do a mod that would list details in an external html page and you could add a link to this page with description from the word CVV2.

In the new 4.0.x versions, it has already been done by xcart in a pop up window. If CVV2 is clicked, it will pop up a window that shows end user what this is with pics.

Thank you for your fast response .
My X-Cart version is 3.5.10

Isleman just pop that version info into your signature by going to profile and entering it into the signature box (dont forget you need to enter your helpdesk password back into your profile as well so that it saves).

takes 5 secs and it will save a lot of hassle in the long run.

Well, that cooks my chli,

I hopped over to 4.0.x from the 3.4.x version branch so I do not know exaclty what to tell you here except it should be one or the other.

If you see a blue CCV2 code word where it asks for the code to be enetered, I would say you need to do the mod to add info to external pop up as I did. I can help you with that, but need to know first.

Otherwise, it should be already linked by xcart right out of the can and either have the hyperlink on the word CVV2 or a questionmark as cotc2001 has mentioned.

Either way, have a look in the checkout yourself, if you do not see the hyperlink let me know and we will do one with a pop up or a page pop up with info. :wink:

I am sorry but i don't have any hyperlink. I looked in the checkout.tpl but I can't find the fields I want. Which mod I need to add ?
Where can I find it ?
Thank you very much for your help

Actually, where you want to look is in skin1/main/register_ccinfo.tpl

This is the 3.4.x version fix which can be adapted I would assume to the 3.5.x branch if you in fact do not have this already in the tpl as a hyperlink.

Look for:


and change to:


Now remember, there is a branch change here so the sode may not be exactly as it appears here.

The just of things is to make your WORD "CVV2" the hyperlink. I made my appear as "CVV2 Help" (on older versions) (new branch has this done already)

Now, after you have made your code change, you need to change the url to match your domain name.

Also create a file called "ccInfo" in the web site root or if changed, change URL to match location, this is up to you.

Then create your help page as you see fit. I used a combination of text and picture format for easy help.

All you need to do is take Credit Cards you use and find pics of the backs of them where the cvv2 code is and then show the location of the needed number and a brief description of WHY you require this to prevent fraud.

Most processors have these pics to use, but if not, let me know and what cards you need and I may also be able to help with that.


Hope this helps and is clear as mud. :wink:

You're great.Thanks a lot .
I will dive my hands in right now... :D
