X-Cart forums - Visual fix - "Please wait while we process your order&q

Balinor,

Thank you for your concerned response. After I posted this, i thought about it a bit more and decided to just add the "head.tpl", not the "home.tpl". As I use the PP Pro payment processor, sometimes the "please wait while..." message can stay for up to 45 seconds, so at least I wanted to make that part of the process look like it is actually part of the site.

After completing this task, the page now uses the main site header and stylesheet to at least to make it less ugly and more personalized. Page Load speed is more than adequate :D

I expanded on the idea posted here: http://forum.x-cart.com/viewtopic.php?t=15473&highlight=paymentwait

and came up with the following if anyone is interested: - (Thanks to svtorres for the initial work!)

Edit include/payment_wait.php - replace with the following:

Code:

Create a new file called paymentprocessing.tpl - (will reside in /skin1/customer) - with the below information:

Code:

{* $Id: paymentprocessing.tpl,v 1.0 2005/07/07 13:28:00 svowl Exp $ *}

{ config_load file="$skin_config" }

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<LINK rel="stylesheet" href="{$SkinDir}/{#CSSFile#}">

</HEAD>

<BODY leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" rightmargin="0" bottommargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

{ include file="rectangle_top.tpl" }

{ include file="head.tpl" }





</p>





</p>





</p>

<p align="center"><font size="5" color="#000080">Please wait while your order is being 

placed.....</font></p>

</TD>

<TD width="20"></TD>

</TR>

</TABLE>

{ include file="rectangle_bottom.tpl" }

</BODY>

</HTML>

You can change the font color to better match your site if desired, in this example, it is dark blue.

Hope this helps someone!
