One-Page-Checkout (released)

Hey All, this is a mod i worked on, for a one-page checkout.
Now, Before I say it is safe to download, I want it noted that it works on my install of zencart 1.3.6, so i am only assuming it should work with others.

I've tried to get all of the code of my heavily modded version out of the checkout template (thier might actually be some code left over, and if that is the case, then i Apologize immediately).

Re: One-Page-Checkout (released)

Installed and tried...nice work but :

still needs some clean-up in code (there are image reff. to your custom template, maybe should be zen_image (BUTTON_XYZ, BUTTON_XYZ_ALT)
maybe a nice border for the " $ total table on top"
maybe skip the refference in readme file to leave CHECKOUT_SHIPPING in shopping_cart_default untouched , for those that still need to log in, otherwise it skips the log in page

Really great mod though!!!! Thanks

Re: One-Page-Checkout (released)

People may run into problems with this unless they have a custom folder named MedGen and will have to do a lot of work to clean up the code.

You've hard coded several (OK, a lot) of references like this one

includes/templates/MedGen/images/button-bkgd.jpg

in your tpl_checkout_default.php

You've also hard coded a few instances of text like this one

<?php echo 'Checkout'; ?>

instead of creating a definition file for these. For instance "CHECKOUT_HEADING Checkout"

To make this more universal you should try to make this as compatible as possible with other template files.

Re: One-Page-Checkout (released)

Sorry About all that code clean-up. I'll go through in greater detail (as Time permits) to clean up all the custom code I had (I could have sworn I got alot of it out) and submit a new release with the cleaned up code.

I've got a couple of other plans in store for the mod, But I'd like to hear yours too.

Mine are as follows::lamo:
- Products Image in the Products Ordered Box
- Possible FIX: where if the user's email is already registered, automatically log them in. (Hmmm, take a bit o'work for that one.)
- If User is logged in, auto fills the form with there info...

Let here your ideas...

Re: One-Page-Checkout (released)

I really like the idea of this. Once everything seems to be in working order, I definately want to try it out. I like the idea of the auto fill in form. Is there any site I can see this in action?

Re: One-Page-Checkout (released)

am I correct that the shipping code isn't included in your package? All there is in that section is an empty row.

Re: One-Page-Checkout (released)

Nice idea... really wasn't ready to be released though. Here are some suggestions:

1) Don't write in your readme "all files are arranged in the correct Zen Cart v1.3x structure." when they aren't :) Among others, you need to:
- delete the empty /modules/pages/checkout folder
- the /includes/extra_functions folder needs to be /includes/functions/extra_functions
- the /includes/templates/tpl_checkout_default.php file should be /includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_checkout_default.php
2) while you are at it... delete the extra_functions file because its empty anyway - nothing but comments?? no code at all.
3) your /images folder is useless - just delete it
4) In your instructions... you suggest to change every reference of FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING to FILENAME_CHECKOUT and then attempt to say what files that may affect... this is backwards. LEAVE ALL THOSE FILES ALONE!!! You already have the solution built-in (see below)
5) don't bother with your /includes/extra_datafiles/checkout.php file... just delete it. Instead, in the instructions have the user modify the includes/filenames.php file and change the line

define('FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING', 'checkout_shipping');

to

define('FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING', 'checkout');

. Your extra_datafiles file actually attempts to redefine a constant, which you can't do. This way is much better and eliminates any need to modify potentially dozens of files (78 on my site) in favor of just editing one.

That's as far as I got. I did NOT install this mod... once I saw the hard-coded no-no's I gave up.

Again, good idea! But remember that unrefined mods probably end up causing people more harm than good... release it as a BETA and get it tested first!

Good luck and keep trying!

Re: One-Page-Checkout (released)

ahh right... now I remembered my other suggestion too...

in the template file, it might be a good idea to re-do it with <div> and css instead of the outdated <table> method. Zen 1.3 went heavy to the favored <div> methods and it would be a good idea for contribs to follow suite.

Re: One-Page-Checkout (released)

Hello,

I installed this mod, however it appears that I haven't done something correctly, as it didn't change anything.

1. I did a "find and replace" in my Editor and changed any instance of "FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING" to "FILENAME_CHECKOUT" and then uploaded the changed files.

2. I uploaded the files/folders downloaded for "one-page-checkout"

The only thing I didn't understand as to what I was meant to do was with the following:

"these are primarily Templates.
Files I know that I had to Modify:
tpl_checkout_confirmation_default.php
tpl_checkout_shipping_address_default.php
tpl_checkout_shipping_default.php
tpl_page_not_found_default.php
tpl_shopping_cart_default.php
tpl_site_map_default.php"

Am I also meant to do something with those files ?

Otherwise, the checkout goes through the same 3 set process.

Thanks,
Anthony

Is this mod working with Zen 1.3.7? I've waited to install.

Thanks

Re: One-Page-Checkout (released)

Hi,

Has anyone managed to install the one-page checkout module successfully? I installed it but there are a few things I would like to change.

1. Remove the table of "Your Information" as it is not necessary.
2. Put the talbe of "Your Order Total" below the table of "Your Purchased Items".
3. Shipping information is missing.

Also, I just found out that I can't continue to confirm my order. Please help. Thanks.

Re: One-Page-Checkout (released)

I think it is clear this project is dead. The original author hasn't come back or addressed any of the code suggestions.

Basically, it is a mess. I wouldn't suggest anyone not knowing exactly what they are doing try to install it!

Perhaps someone with the skills and time can take this puppy and run with it, but it basically needs to start from scratch.
