Order Steps (tableless) support thread

I just installed this mod and test it on my Zen cart v1.3.5. i've noticed theres a little bit problem with the pic on the Step2 page. As you can see on the image below where the green color line didn't move to the right which it suppose to. Then i tried to customize the width percentage in the stylesheet but cant get it right. And one other thing is that the text below the Step 2-3 - Payment Information as you see theres a text says TEXT_CUSTOMER_MESSAGE.

I'm wondering how to fix it..thanks:dontgetit

Re: Order Steps (tableless) support thread

I thought I'd taken the Customer message thing out. (that was a specialized message for another site). the green line appears to be a mix up in ordering the code for the line.

I'll tweak everything and post an updated version.

Thanks for the update

Re: Order Steps (tableless) support thread

Clyde-

Thanks for updating this mod so it is CSS based.

When I compared the template files in your version I discovered they are based on older Zen Cart code, not template files distributed with Zen Cart 1.36. Thus I noticed some 1.36 code missing.

I suggest to anyone installing this mod, to compare and merge, rather than directly uploading the template files. It's easy to do as there is a custom code block that needs to be copied and inserted into each template file (the code block is just a bit different for each of the four files).

One other item... I discovered the CSS was the same for all four files, except that checkout_success.css has one more entry

#order_steps { width: 100%; }

It appears that this causes the Order Steps center "box" to push into the right column (on a site displaying both left and right column sideboxes). When I removed the width entry all was well.

Also I observed on each of the checkout pages the Order Steps center "box" "rubs" on the left & right columns. I made the following adjustment to the #order_steps class in each of the four CSS files to add some margin:

replace:
   margin: 10px 0 10px 0;

with:
   margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;

Hope this helps someone.

Re: Order Steps (tableless) support thread

Just tried the latest Order Steps, and it looks like TEXT_CUSTOMER_MESSAGE is still in the /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_checkout_payment_default.php file

HTH :-)

DogTags:

It is possible you has installed a previous version of Order Steps and you had inserted a TEXT_CUSTOMER_MESSAGE define in
/includes/languages/english/checkout_payment.php

(or maybe you have in override)

That define is no longer needed.

Note the Order Steps current version block of code in that template file does not call that define:

<!--bof order steps (tableless) -->
    <div id="order_steps">
            <div class="order_steps_text">
			<span class="order_steps_text2"><?php echo TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_1; ?></span><span id="active_step_text"><img src="<?php echo DIR_WS_TEMPLATE; ?>images/arrow_checkout.gif" width="24" height="24" alt="" border="0" align=""><br /><?php echo TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_2; ?></span><span class="order_steps_text3"><?php echo TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_3; ?></span><span class="order_steps_text4"><?php echo TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_4; ?></span>
            </div>
            <div class="order_steps_line_2">
                <span class="progressbar_active"> </span><span class="progressbar_active"> </span><span class="progressbar_inactive"> </span><span class="progressbar_inactive"> </span>
            </div>		
    </div>
<!--eof order steps (tableless) -->

Re: Order Steps (tableless) support thread

I'm working on a couple of other things at the moment so I'll try to post an update as soon as I can.

In the meantime open tpl_checkout_payment_default.php and delete <?php echo TEXT_CUSTOMER_MESSAGE; ?> around line 20.

Re: Order Steps (tableless) support thread

Clyde,

This is a very nice mod. Thank you.

I noticed that the progress bar's color and the background gray color are both darkish, so I made a new orderstep.png that's a little lighter and uploaded it. For some reason, the progress bar is not visible at all now, so I'm not sure just what I did wrong. I'll go take a tour of the CSS files and see if that's where I should have made my changes.

Well ... I'm a self-confessed dummy. It's all in the CSS files and now works great.

Re: Order Steps (tableless) support thread

Since I have to do a quick update to remove that stray define statement, I'll also emphasize that the progress bar colors can be changed in the CSS files.

Re: Order Steps (tableless) support thread

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Hello Clyde,

I have a fatal error on step 2:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: in_special_checkout() in /home/anamorf/public_html/anatest/includes/templates/nightfall/templates/tpl_checkout_payment_default.php on line 50

I have installed your latest version 2.0 after there was a problem in the previous version. It was impossible to continue the second step. No error message. Nothing happened.

I hoped that the problem would be solved with installing the latest version. But no solution.

Zen Code version 1.3.6 is installed and Paypal and walk in are the only payment methods accepted.

The site can be found on www.mindex.be/anatest

Thank you very much with helping me to solve this problem.

Xavier

Re: Order Steps (tableless) support thread

Version 2.0 uses templates from zen cart 1.3.7.

since your using 1.3.6, download version 1.1

Re: Order Steps (tableless) support thread

Thank you, Clyde, for your answer. The version 1.1 is reinstalled.
The error message is gone.

It's isn't possible to go from step 2 to 3. Notting happens.

What could be the cause?

Re: Order Steps (tableless) support thread

Are you getting any kind of error message?

The mod does not control the navigation from one step to another. It only sits at the top of the page.

Re: Order Steps (tableless) support thread

No error message, Clyde. Nothing happens.
You can have a look at www.mindex.be/anatest

Could the error come from somewhere else?
