This was some simple mods I have done for X-Cart 4.11, to make the checkout neater. I post it here in case it is useful to anyone starting out.

In summary, I have changed the title of the first block of registering for profile or checkout to Customer Details, have removed URL, Fax, Company fields and brought the Phone and Email up to this block as well as some other formatting. Also removed the multiple fields for first and last name so there is just the one. Any alternative ways of doing this I'd be interested to here about.

** CHANGE TEXT "PERSONAL INFORMATION (register/checkout)**
In Admin, go to Languages, select English.
Wait for page refresh. Select Labels and type in "Personal Information"
Change this text to 'Customer Details' and click Apply Changes

** REGISTER PAGE - COMBINE CONTACT FIELDS WITH CUSTOMER DETAILS **
In customer/main/register.tpl find this code
{include file="main/register_contact_info.tpl" userinfo=$userinfo}
move to below {include file="main/register_personal_info.tpl" userinfo=$userinfo}
Open main/register_contact_info.tpl and remove the header row <tr> and associated code </tr>

** REGISTER/CHECKOUT PAGES - HIDE BILLING/SHIPPING INFORMATION FIRSTNAME LASTNAME **
Do this if you want to use the firstname lastname fields as identical for
registering, shipping and billing
Open main/register_shipping_address.tpl

Find this code:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

{if $default_fields.firstname.avail eq 'Y'}
<TR>
<TD align="right">{$lng.lbl_first_name}</TD>
<TD>{if $default_fields.firstname.required eq 'Y'}<FONT class="Star">*</FONT>{else}{/if}</TD>
<TD nowrap> 
<INPUT type="text" name="s_firstname" size="32" maxlength="32" value="{$userinfo.s_firstname}">
{if $reg_error ne "" and $userinfo.s_firstname eq "" && $default_fields.firstname.required eq 'Y'}<FONT class="Star">&lt;&lt;</FONT>{/if}
</TD>
</TR>
 {/if}

{if $default_fields.lastname.avail eq 'Y'}
<TR>
<TD align="right">{$lng.lbl_last_name}</TD>
<TD>{if $default_fields.lastname.required eq 'Y'}<FONT class="Star">*</FONT>{else}{/if}</TD>
<TD nowrap>
<INPUT type="text" name="s_lastname" size="32" maxlength="32" value="{$userinfo.s_lastname}">
{if $reg_error ne "" and $userinfo.s_lastname eq "" && $default_fields.lastname.required eq 'Y'}<FONT class="Star">&lt;&lt;</FONT>{/if}
</TD>
</TR>
{/if}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REPLACE WITH

<INPUT type="hidden" name="s_firstname" size="32" maxlength="32" value="{$userinfo.s_firstname}">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="s_lastname" size="32" maxlength="32" value="{$userinfo.s_lastname}">

REPEAT FOR BILLING
Open main/register_billing_address.tpl

Find two table rows containing first last name fields as above
and replace with

<INPUT type="hidden" name="b_firstname" size="32" maxlength="32" value="{$userinfo.b_firstname}">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="b_lastname" size="32" maxlength="32" value="{$userinfo.b_lastname}">

Open main/register_personal_info.tpl
Find INPUT fields for firstname and lastname
ADD THIS CODE to end of tag

onChange="populateProfile()"

Open common_js.tpl
Add this function

function populateProfile() {
document.registerform.s_firstname.value = document.registerform.firstname.value;
document.registerform.s_lastname.value = document.registerform.lastname.value;
document.registerform.b_firstname.value = document.registerform.firstname.value;
document.registerform.b_lastname.value = document.registerform.lastname.value
}

To maintain "leave empty if same as billing" message before registering
open main/register_shipping_address.tpl
find

{if !$is_s_fields}({$lng.lbl_leave_empty_if_same_as_b_address}){/if}

replace with

{if $login eq ""}({$lng.lbl_leave_empty_if_same_as_b_address}){/if}

** CHECKOUT PAGE 3 **
To simplify information on this page...
customer/main/cart_details -

find
{if $cart.products and $have_products eq "Y"} lines 77 and 99
comment out * these and their respective end tags

customer/main/customer_details.tpl
format/remove unused fields like fax, company name fields etc.

customer/main/checkout_notes.tpl
do some formatting here

Thanks for the above Bob - it helps get rid of a lot of the double entry stuff.

I'm still left with the Title box (Mr/Mrs/etc) above the billing address, though. I'm assuming this is the same as the "Customer Details" title.

Could you possibly post how to get rid of this without causing other knock-ons. I've been messing about with it but just don't have the knowledge!!

Best wishes
Steve
