Just moved to 1.3.8a Checkout Issue Paypal Express Split Page

[shrimp-gumbo-mmmhhh]

Hello,

Just moved to 1.3.8a and have paypal express installed.... Previously I had the understanding that we could choose whether we wanted the split page or the old page with "Returning Customers" and new customer signup.... now it appears I am stuck with the split page.... is there anyway I can have it go back to the old page.... I have tried redirecting to the "create_account" page but then I have an infinite loop for some reason.... I really wouldn't mind the create_account page if it would send the customer on the next step after they logged in or filled out the information. Help! I don't want my customers to have to wade through an extra step.

Do you mean Admin - Configuration - Layout Settings - Use split-login page ?

That is set to FALSE yet is displaying in the split login format where the customer has to click a "signup" button to get to the information form.

When I installed Paypal Express from the payments it changed the checkout page to the split page and I would have to remove paypal express to go back to the old checkout page..... at least as far as I can see....

Correct.

Correct.

DrByte,

If I changed this code:

<?php if ( USE_SPLIT_LOGIN_MODE == 'True' || $ec_button_enabled) { ?>

in /public_html/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_login_default.php

to this:

<?php if ( USE_SPLIT_LOGIN_MODE == 'True' && $ec_button_enabled) { ?>

Would this cause the login page to work as I desire it to?

Thank you,

Maybe, but I think it's more complicated than that. I'd have to study the code more.

Keep in mind that the reason the split-page is used is for compliance with PayPal's TOS of presenting the Express Checkout option before any personal information is collected from the customer.

Yes, but it's on the shopping cart page and that is typically seen before the login page.
