X-Cart forums

[sstillwell@aerostich.com]

Ok, I had no idea what to call this mod, but it's really simple. I have no idea if it will break your Xcart so try it and hopefully it works for you.

Basically, after a new user registers or a current user modifies their profile, for some weird reason Xcart shows the form again to the customer. This was confusing my customers as they didn't read the little Dialog message that reads "Your profile has been successfully updated."

So basically, upon successfully creation/modification of the profile I don't want the form showing again, just the nice dialog message.

skin1/customer/home_main.tpl
Change:

{elseif $main eq "register"}
{include file="customer/main/register.tpl"}

To:

{elseif $main eq "register"}
{* Added so that form is not shown after successful completion, it was confusing customers *}
{if not ($top_message.content ne "" and $top_message.type eq "")}
{include file="customer/main/register.tpl"}
{/if}

Now when they update their profile, it gives them a nice message and no form. When there is an error, it will still give them the form with the << arrows to show where the error is.

Sstillwell;
thanks for share that little mod.
I have a couples of questions; I visited your Site ( nice ! ) and after I registered, showed me the a message ( succesfully .... ) in a box with
[x] to close it. When a hit to close, it took me again to a similar template
( this time "Modified Profile" ). This is much better than X-Cart , but still a little confusing. Is there any way to take customer back to other page ( I don't know maybe last page visited, or Home Page, etc ).
My other question: I see you don't have a "Member" area on your main page; instead you have a "Login" link that take customers to a Login Template. Is that template a new feature on your version ? Because I don't have that Template. If not, and if it is a Mod, could you tell me how you get it ?
I appreciate any help on this matter.
Again thank you for share with others !!

Aldo,

Thanks for the questions. If you are talking about the login page, I think that is custom. I basically just made a file called login.php

<?php 
/* Custom page added by Shane 2004.11.26 */
require "./auth.php";
#
# Assign Smarty variables and show template
#

$smarty->assign("main","login_form");
$smarty->assign("location", $location);
func_display("customer/home.tpl",$smarty);
?>

Then I make a template skin1/customer_auth.tpl

{* $Id: auth.tpl,v 1.39 2004/06/28 11:38:38 mclap Exp $ *}
{capture name=menu}
{if $login ne ""}
<h2>{$lng.lbl_welcome_back}

{else}

{/if}
{/capture}
{ include file="dialog.tpl" content=$smarty.capture.menu }

Then you just have to edit skin1/customer/home_main.tpl

Add this line after all the "elseif" statements

{*  Added by shane 2004.11.26 *}
{elseif $main eq "login_form"}
{include file="customer_auth.tpl"}

Simple as that, now you have a login page instead of a login box.
