Customizing Checkout Success Page Note based on Payment Method?

[thomasw98]

I also need to do the same. I have searched the forum and found 10 different threads about this topic, but none of them has a real answer. Dr Byte's answer above is the closest I have found, but it sounds very technical, i.e. over my head!

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Please explain in terms suitable for IQ80 reader such as myself.

Thanks

Well, I guess I should have just stopped, but I decided to try Dr Byte's instructions. I tried to add a register variable command in the checkout_process header file and an unregister in the checkout_success header file. It did not seem to work since the success page would not appear then. So then I restored my original files, BUT the cart now seems to be broken! The success page will simply not appear (although it worked perfectly before my attempted changes).

I really am in a state of panic and simultaneous depression now. I just don't know what to do to fix this. The order still is placed and the email is received by both the store owner and the customer and the order is logged into the databse, BUT the success page will not appear.

Could it be something has been messed up in the database due to my experiments???

I have a backup of the database and could restore it if I knew how. But I am afraid to even try this for fear of making things even worse.

Help!

How exactly did you make your changes?
Did you add any new files?
How exactly did you "undo" the changes?
Did you delete any new files you added?

First, I tried this:

in includes/modules/pages/checkout_process/header_php.php
I added a line like this: session_register("payment");
before the unset section

in includes/modules/pages/checkout_success/header_php.php
I added a line like this: session_unregister("payment");
near the end of the file.

in includes/templates/theme027/templates/tpl_checkout_success_default.php
I added a line to try display this value...I forget now how I wrote this, but it was some sort of simple php echo type line.

That didn't work, so then I tried this:

in includes/modules/pages/checkout_process/header_php.php
I took out the session_register line that I had added before, and then
I commented out this line: unset($_SESSION['payment']);

I don't remember if I did anything to checkout_success/header_php.php this time or if I just left the unregister command in there as before.

Well...that didn't work either, so I tried to put everything back as I found it, but still the final success page would not display.

I then went back to my latest backup files (from that same morning) and copied over the files with the backed up versions which previously worked perfectly. Still the success page would not display.

One possible clue: A payment module (called Alipay in China; similar to Paypal in the USA) that I had already installed and confirmed was working, now is not working properly and gives me an error code "ILLEGAL_SIGN" when I jump to their page after order confirmation. Of course, it never jumps to the success page because of this error.

Thanks for your help!

Did you DELETE any ADDED files that you created by trying all your changes?

The cause of a page not displaying is 95% because of a PHP syntax error created in one of your files. Usually it's a language file or a template file.

I'm inclined to say that this problem is unrelated to your other one ... unless that's the only payment module you're using ... in which case it could very well be the exact cause.

I was just about to say "no" on this when suddenly the name "filenames.php" popped vaguely into my head. I looked inside and thought there was no way I would change anything in there, but decided to upload a clean version just to be on the safe side...you have already guessed how this ends, right?....and now the cart works fine. So either it is a random coincidence, or I must have changed something in that file.

The Alipay system is still not working, so it looks like you are right. Unrelated.

Thanks for the custom code. I will give it a try and definitely make a donation to the team. How do I do this?
