Re: checkout in x-cart needs some serious modification
Quote:
I agree, i like overstocks.com checkout. And i also agree that x-cart need to change their checkout ASAP!!!!! Is it too much to ask for to get a good checkout from a shopping cart?

Checkout mod.
3 name checkout was rediculous, i my self when testing the cart got annoyed entering details 3 times, and if leaving shipping blank the cart refused to go forward. I have since got X-Cart to modify the checkout so that 1. you enter name and surname (ONCE) 2. Billing address this is the main part 3. if different shipping address required then enter if not LEAVE BLANK.
Lastly tel number, email and username password. Checkout is now quicker and functions correctly. I have made several changes to the other areas of the cart like SKU: never heard of this my self. Changed to (ORDER CODE) also in the text areas of changes ive added <tags> for font and Bold etc. One thing i was going to have removed is the Payment details section after checkout, it then repeats by showing a list of confirming. I have so far added text in RED (Please check your details) this tells the customer to check at this staage rather then think its a repeat page..... One thing needed now is a decent Popup enlarge image option according to x cart this is in the new release!!!! to see my checkout goto www.realsecurity.co.uk (WIRELESS camera) is the only product in there at the moment whilst modifications are being made. I am backing up the cart to view changes the x cart team made to the checkout section.

Realsecurity,
Can you share the code? That looks great, all the fixes I am looking for. That three name thing is rediculous. I can't believe that something so important is so messed up.

I wanted to keep the first and last name open on the shipping address as with the mod as posted there is no way to send a package to anyone but the card holder (meaning no gifts).
I implemented a variation of this mod and noticed that if the customer was not using Javascript there is no way for that customer to register as the billing address fields are missing (as in gone!) and the 'populate' is done using Javascript. I ended up using some if/else statements that if Jasvascript is not enable at leat the customer gets the original 3 name entry process. Not a great solution, but it will do for now.

soooooo, mustang or realsecurity, can either of you share (or sell) the code you used to modify your checkout process? did anyone else modify theirs to a streamlined, workable solution?
i've taken a look at the EasyCheckout Mod but it's just not that smooth, IMHO. are there any other checkout mods available that i've missed? thanks, mike

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

bobcc99:
Just so you are aware that using your method a customer can not register or complete a sale if Javascript is not enabled in their browser. That has been the problem with all of the EZ checkout mods I've seen. Yeah, it is probably a small percentage, but it is a sale none the less. I use something similar but have enclosed it in an {if Javascript enabled=""} statement and default to the standard method if Javascript can't be used. Steve-C: You should be able to remove the titles or anything else in 'User Profile Options" under General Settings.

Hi JWait
Thanks for that. You can take the Mr/Mrs/Etc selection box off the billing address in the "Customer Registration" dialogue OK using "User Profile Options" but oddly it still turns up on the checkout pages. I have got rid of it by commenting out the necessary part in /main/register_billing_address.tpl I haven't fully tested it yet but it seems OK. With the exception of the above I think I'll be going back to the original X-Cart templates to avoid the Javascript not enabled trap but, to simplify a bit, I will do away with the shipping address altogether so items are shipped to billing address. If customer wants shipment to another address he will have to ask. This may help reduce fraud, too.
