X-Cart forums

[Ryano]

I appreciate that Jon. I've noticed that a lot of people have started a cart on my site, and then then no final checkout, so I'm sure this mod will do me some good. The only other thing now is do I need to be familiar with phpmyadmin? Because I'm still learning x-cart as I go. How hard is it to install it? It is definitely a great mod.

I've made it so that it's very easy to install. Takes about 10 minutes if you know what your doing.

You don't need to know phpmyadmin.

You do need to know how to:

add new language variables to your store through the admin section

upload the files provided to the proper directories

Open and edit php and tpl files according to the instructions provided. There are only 4 or 5 files that need editing depending on the version.

Here's a sample of the type of editing you need to do:

FIND:

if ($mode == "checkout" || $mode == "auth") {
#
# Calculate total number of checkout process steps
#

After Add:

$smarty->assign("mode",$mode);

I can confirm that it's very easy to install.

If I can do it then anyone can

Hey every one,

Can some one post their web site that has Jon checkout mod working so every one can see how it looks in some one elses site besides Jon.

Kind regards,
Ricky

Here's another change I've made to change the "order processing" message after noticing that a lot of paypal orders were being left as incomplete. When they pay by credit card their order is being processed, but when it's being paid by paypal it's only transferring them, so I changed the message.

This is for 3.5.x but should work very similar on 4.0.x

Open payment/payment_paypal.php

FIND:

	include $xcart_dir."/include/payment_wait.php";

BEFORE THAT ADD:

	$wait_message = "paypal";

Open include/payment_wait.php

REPLACE ENTIRE FILE WITH:

Just installed this mod on our site www.boneclothing.com and it was very straightforward to do. *Edit - Sorry, forgot to mention. This is a live store, so you'll only be able to see the first bit unless you actually wish to make a purchase!

I am very impressed with how it takes the customer through the checkout process. Much easier.

Big thanks to Jon for this

Cheers

Boney

Boney,

Thank you I am sold. I just wanted to see how it looks in someone elses site. Specially the colors and that stuff you know. But you just made a sale for Jon.

Kind regards,
Ricky

[Jon]

Thanks Boney I integrated the mod with the current style sheets, etc. so it shouldn't be a prob with integration.

I was asked a question about moving the discounts/gift certificates up to above the cart, so I want to post the answer here in case anybody else wants to do it.

I believe it's the same for both versions.

To move the discounts section up above the shopping cart, open skin1/customer/cart.tpl

FIND:

{if $cart.coupon_discount eq 0 and $products ne ""}



{if $active_modules.Discount_Coupons ne ""}
{include file="modules/Discount_Coupons/add_coupon.tpl}
{/if}
{/if}

CUT THAT CODE AND PASTE IT NEAR THE TOP OF THE FILE, AFTER:

{if $active_modules.Gift_Certificates ne ""}
{$lng.txt_cart_note}
{/if}

If you want to move up gift certificates as well, do the same with the code:

{if $active_modules.Gift_Certificates ne ""}
{include file="modules/Gift_Certificates/gc_cart.tpl" giftcerts_data=$cart.giftcerts}
{/if}
