minimum amount

You're a bit of a magician with PHP, Ajeh. I wonder if you could recommend a good book that will start off at foundation level and then work up a structure so that even a complete novice like myself could learn PHP?

If I knew PHP like you then I'd have loads and loads of features on my site. Features that I'd never even think of tackling at the moment. For example, this fix here. If I knew PHP like you then I'd take it a step further and have this option shadowed out with a little (only available for orders over £100) in brackets like this:



Until their cart's at £100.00 of course and then it'd react as it's now doing:

[Ajeh]

Sorry, off hand I do not have a trick for that one ...

It would probably be easier to just customize the template for that page to give a message about it based on the amount of the order to show after the payment modules are displayed ...

[limelites]

I'm thinking of installing it as a new payment menthod and changing the name to 'shadow'. There are only three files in the entire mod (two of which are just language files) So, I'd just change all instances of "instalment" to "shadow" and install it again.

Then I'm thinking of using the code in #9 in reverse, so it appears on orders of under £100.00.

There should be a simple way of customising the language files to show a shadowed out .gif file instead of text.

The only difficulty I forsee is how to get rid of the radio button it would generate as it would effectively be a butchered payment module.

[Ajeh]

That is why I suggested to add some text below the display of the Payment modules on the template to only show when it should and then there is no radio button to deal with ...

[limelites]

"to only show when it should"

That's the key though. It's easy enough to add text to the checkout confirmation page, but how do you make that text only appear when the cart contents are <£100.00?

[Ajeh]

You add in the IF statement like we did in the module but you need to add it to the template using your templates and overrides ...

Look at the code in the tpl_checkout_payment_default.php and you can add:

<?php if ($order->info['total'] < 100.00) { ?>
<div class="alert"><?php echo 'WHERE AM I < 100.00 ' . $order->info['total']; ?></div>
<?php } else { ?>
<div class="alert"><?php echo 'WHERE AM I >= 100.00 ' . $order->info['total']; ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

</fieldset>
<?php // ** BEGIN PAYPAL EXPRESS CHECKOUT **

the red code above the black code and fool with that ...

I'll give this a try when I get back in from the school run. However, if you see this response between now and then, could you let me know how I'd replace the output text "WHERE AM I" with an image, so that it displays an image instead of the text?

Would I replace WHERE AM I

with:

'<img src="https://www.silkblooms.co.uk/includes/images/shadow.gif" class="ShadowOut"> (only available on orders over £100.00)'


I'm not sure abut the apostrophes. That's always what messes me up! Little syntaxes.

[Ajeh]

You should be able to add in something like:
zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'shadow.gif', '', '100%', '100%', 'class="ShadowOut"') . ' (only available on orders over £100.00)'

[limelites]

Getting something, here's the code I inserted in the tpl_checkout_split.php file, just about the PAYPAL fieldset:

<?php if ($order->info['total'] < 100.00) { ?>
<div class="alertInstalmentsShadowedOut"><?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE.'images/instalments_shadowed_out.gif'); ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

Definitely working, I just need to style it in CSS now, so it appears in the correct position.

Thank you Ajeh!! I knoew you'd have the right tricks up your sleeve for this one. You underestimate yourself :)

Thanks for the update that you are starting to get things on track with this ...
