Default Re: A simple fix to pretty the checkout up a little

I just bought X-cart I spend like 3 hours trying to figure it out how to install this product. Below my notes
1- Need to make sure if you're be using Fast Lane or Regular Checkout. I first implemented in regular and didn't work and using the webmaster figured it out the changes needed to be make using the instructions explained below.
2- In addition to the instructions below you need to fix 2 things here: First then changes to the CSS file needs to be added to the skin1_c.ss on the Fast Lane directory (/skin1/modules/Fast_Lane_Checkout). Second you need to update the images path like this: url(../../images/sbhead-r.gif).

That's it and you should be set!!!

dont forget the images and you may have to change your css to your text colors.

Qdox,

Welcome to xcart. Before you get too far along, please read the forum rules and edit your fourm signature with your EXACT version of xcart.

http://forum.x-cart.com/viewtopic.php?t=6489
http://forum.x-cart.com/profile.php?do=editsignature

Second you need to update the images path like this: url(../../images/sbhead-r.gif).
That would be the wrong path for many users. Every store's path will be different. BTW, in case you are going to have any https going on your store (you should), relative and static links of images will get in your way -- your best way to use global images is to put all of them in your skin1/images directory, then use a path such as this:

url('{$ImagesDir}/image-name.gif')

Hope this helps. Please update your forum sig. Thanks.

Hi Guys

what a great mod just have one small question if you can advise, on the place order page the 2 boxes, billing address and shipping address doesn't show the full name and address details.
Is it surposed to be like this or have i done something wrong !!

Have attached pic to show what i mean, if it is surposed to be like this can it be modified
so it shows the full details.

Many thanks Dean

P.s iam currently building a new shop v4.1.8 which isn't live yet so please ignore my signature below...

Hi Guys as a reference to my message above i used the code "Qdox" had set out in post 112
and for some reason not all of the details were showing up.
Ive just downloaded the attachment "JWait" in post 99 had done and know iam getting all the full details showing name, address etc. so iam wondering if there's some code missing from the post 112....

adeano,

I got the same result, but when I looked at the code, there are spaces in the code that don't belong there... you'll see them if you look at the first one like this one:
{if $userinfo.default_fields.firstname}{$userinfo.b_fi rstname}{if < see the space between the letters in the firstname field? There are more after that.

Also, I could not get this to work because of the reference to the images directory in that way. I use https, and could not figure out any variation of code to keep the non-secure page warning from popping up when I clicked on submit after entering the credit card number. I did try Carpediem's suggestion, cleared the templates folder and still got the same result, so I'm still not able to use this great mod. Perhaps someone with a little better knowledge of referencing images from the skin.css file can jump in here and let me know what I'm doing wrong.

Default Re: A simple fix to pretty the checkout up a little

The images reference tip above certainly seems to work across the board using Smarty templates where you want an image to appear in the cart - it sorts out the https / http thing no problem.

This is a typical entry in a .tpl file to use an image:

<IMG src="{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif" width="1" height="1" border="0">

I have to admit to actually using the standard HTML ../ method of referencing images in certain situations (for example forcing the CC images to appear in the 'Payment Methods' section, as outlined earlier in this thread) but wherever templates are used the {$ImagesDir} method is definitely the way to go.

You don't happen to have new images for this, do you? The old ones aren't showing.

Thanks,

Kevin
