Here is my checkout setup:
http://www.TruckSHOP.com/ebay/checkout_screen.jpg
The first checkout step is located in customer/main/anonymous_checkout.tpl
If you want to remove the cart details, comment out or remove this section of code:
Code:
{capture name=checkout_dialog}
<FORM action="cart.php" method="POST" name="cartform">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="cart_operation" value="cart_operation">
{if $config.Appearance.show_cart_details eq "Y" or ($config.Appearance.show_cart_details eq "L" and $smarty.get.paymentid ne "" and $smarty.get.mode eq "checkout")}
{include file="customer/main/cart_details.tpl"}
{else}
{include file="customer/main/cart_contents.tpl"}
{/if}
<HR noshade size="1">
{include file="customer/main/cart_totals.tpl"}
{include file="buttons/update.tpl" href="javascript: document.cartform.submit()" js_to_href="Y"}
</FORM>
{/capture}
{include file="dialog.tpl" title="`$lng.lbl_checkout`: `$lng.lbl_step` `$checkout_step` `$lng.lbl_of` `$total_checkout_steps`" content=$smarty.capture.checkout_dialog extra="width=100%"}
To have a login box displayed next to the customer registration field, change the rest of the code in customer/main/anonymous_checkout.tpl to the following:
Code:
<TABLE>
<TR valign="top" width="30%">
<TD>
{include file="main/error_login_incorrect.tpl"}
</TD>
<TD valign="top" align="middle" width="10%">
OR
</TD>
<TD width="60%">
To create a new account, enter your information below:
{include file="customer/main/register.tpl"}
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
You may need to modify some of your language files to have the login message make sense.
