Checkout Amazon Style -- Support Thread

[Steven300]

Hi Paul. I have both mods working together with no problems. It's easy to do.

You first need to insert the following JavaScript function towards the top of your tpl_checkout_account_default.php file, so it looks like this..

<?php
// Checkout Account Page Template
// Mod Created by C.J.Pinder / Glint Systems Limited ( http://www.glintsystems.co.uk )

?>
<div class="centerColumn" id="checkoutAcctDefault">

<h1 id="checkoutAcctDefaultHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1>
<p id="checkoutAcctDefaultInfo" class="biggerText"><?php echo TEXT_CHECKOUT_ACCOUNT_INFO; ?></p>
<?php if ($messageStack->size('create_account') > 0) echo $messageStack->output('create_account'); ?>

<?php echo zen_draw_form('create_account', zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'), 'post', 'onsubmit="return check_form(create_account);"') . zen_draw_hidden_field('action', 'process') . zen_draw_hidden_field('email_pref_html', 'email_format'); ?>

<script type="text/javascript">

function capitalize(f,m) {

if (m) /*cap words*/ {
	var temp, tempC, pre, post, strlen;
	temp = f.value.toLowerCase();
	stringLen = temp.length;
	  if (stringLen > 0) {
		for (i = 0; i < stringLen; i++) {
		  if (i == 0) {
			tempC = temp.substring(0,1).toUpperCase();
			post = temp.substring(1,stringLen);
			temp = tempC + post;
		  } else {
			tempC = temp.substring(i,i+1);
			if (tempC == " " && i < (stringLen-1)) {
			tempC = temp.substring(i+1,i+2).toUpperCase();
			pre = temp.substring(0,i+1);
			post = temp.substring(i+2,stringLen);
			temp = pre + tempC + post;
		  }
		}
	  }
	}
  } else /*cap all*/ {
    var temp = f.value.toUpperCase();
  }
  f.value = temp;
};

</script>

Then for each component on the page which you want to validate, change to something like this (firstname used as example)..

<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('firstname', '', zen_set_field_length(TABLE_CUSTOMERS, 'customers_firstname', '40') . ' id="firstname" onchange="capitalize(this,1);"') . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>

The same format above can be reapplied to lastname, streetaddress, suburb, city etc

The postcode is the only component which requires a different type of change..

<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('postcode', '', zen_set_field_length(TABLE_ADDRESS_BOOK, 'entry_postcode', '40') . ' id="postcode" onchange="capitalize(this,0);"') . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_POST_CODE_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_POST_CODE_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>

That's it. I would have posted my whole file as an attachement but I have a few other mods added so it prob wouldn't have been much use. Hope that helps.

Thanks Steven, works a treat! only thing I can't get to capitalise is the state field. I Don't use the dropdown box so people have to type in their County. I put the code in the same as for the other fields but it is the only part that doesnt work. It is on my wifes site www.goldelox.co.uk . Any ideas why please?

And thanks again for that help.
Paul

You're welcome.

Just checked your site - works fine for me.

Hi Steven,

It does work fine when you use the login option or the my account option but if you put something in the basket and go through to the amazon style checkout, its that screen that doesnt do it, it must be using a different page?

Yes I think it does use a different page.

I've checked both of your registration pages, the one from clicking Log In, and the one after the shopping cart. Both are working for me.

So it does thats strange I could have sworn it didnt before, must be my eyesight!

Thanks again for the help.

Hello there. I want to say thanks for the efforts on this module.

One question:

What is the best way to remove the telephone field from the form? Forgive me if its been asked before, however I did not find it after a good look.

Thanks,

I am using Zen Cart v1.3.8. and I recently changed templates and now my amazon, thing is all messed up! Sometimes it shows and sometimes it doesn't... It was working perfectly for months until I changed my template... I think it's bizzare. Would love some input as to what this might be. I don't have any other "check out" modules installed. http://uniquepcdesigns.com/store

CJPinder - Thanks for the mod. Works great.

joro2002 - nice idea on the Permanent Cart issue. I had a little trouble getting that to work, so I opted for Ajeh's solution, and turned off the permanent cart function. My customers tend to be one time shoppers.

version Zen1.3.7.1

in includes/modules/pages/checkout_login/header_php.php
Find : $_SESSION['cart']->restore_contents();

And replace it with:
// restore cart contents
// $_SESSION['cart']->restore_contents();
// empty old cart products
$_SESSION['cart']->cleanup();

Don't forget to remove the 'Permanent Cart' language from the logoff screen and your welcome letter.
includes/languages/english/logoff.php
includes/languages/english/create_account.php

Cheers - Winger

I installed the Automatic Login then Checkout Amazon Style. Neither of these addons have files that conflict with each other. However, when I am a guest with no account and go to checkout, I get an error on the checkout_account page. The error is " The Confirmation Email must match your Email Address." What can I do to resolve this issue?
