Adding Category section in Cart and Checkout

Hello,

For some reason, the side categories and links disappear when im in the cart or during the checkout process.
I would like the side links to be visible even in the checkout process.
I am working with X-Cart Gold 4.4.5

Re: Adding Category section in Cart and Checkout

This is a design feature, it is a common desire to simplify the checkout funnel by not distracting the user with extraneous links. Once they are in the cart we want them to stay there. :-)

This might take some CSS styling, but the beginning point to stop this behavior is in /common_files/customer/content.tpl:

HTML Code:



{if ($main neq 'cart' or $cart_empty) and $main neq 'checkout'}

<div id="left-bar">

  {include file="customer/left_bar.tpl"}

</div>



<div id="right-bar">

  {include file="customer/right_bar.tpl"}

</div>

{/if}

See the {if} statement there? Removing it should do the trick. Make sure to get both sides, remove {if ($main neq 'cart' or $cart_empty) and $main neq 'checkout'} and the closing {/if}.
