v1.02 FAST AND EASY CHECKOUT FOR ZEN CART

This script was brought to you by the joint efforts of Numinix Technology and Notus:

DESCRIPTION:
============
Combines the payment and shipping checkout pages into one page for a shortened checkout process.

INSTALL:
========
1. Upload all files to their respective folders;
2. Rename /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE to your custom template name;
3. Copy and paste the install.sql file into ADMIN->TOOLS->INSTALL SQL PATCHES to be able to activate or deactivate the one-page checkout feature included with Fast and Easy Checkout for Zen Cart;

UNINSTALL:
==========
1. Delete all uploaded files;
2. Run the uninstall.sql (if you simply want to deactivate but keep the installation, read tips below):

TIPS:
=====
Fast and Easy Checkout for Zen Cart is activated by loading an extra_configures file called checkout.php before the filenames.php file.
This causes definitions for the checkout links to be defined to direct customers to the new integrated checkout page. To deactivate the script without
running the uninstall.sql and deleting all of the files, simply rename or delete the file includes/extra_configures/checkout.php.
To personalize the checkout, you can create your own CSS file and then edit the classes found within
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_checkout_default.php
This file contains the layout of the page and can be re-organized by moving the fieldset blocks to however you want.
You may also want to redefine the TEXT and ERROR definitions found in checkout.php. Do NOT redefined the FILENAME definitions or the script will not work.

Thank you so much!!! This is what I have been looking for! I am sure that many people will love this!

I noticed that it has to refresh the page after the shipping option is selected since it selects the first shipping option and adds it to the cart total at the top of the checkout page and if something else is selected it refreshes with the new cart total with shipping and any other option selected like discount coupons, store credit, etc. If I could suggest that at some point some JavaScript is added to update the cart totals without having to refresh the page?

Another little thing that I noticed is that after installing this mod all of my page titles have changed to "checkout".

Thanks again!! This is awesome!!!

It actually doesn't refresh. What the script does is it updates your selection and then posts it to itself so that the totals will update. This was needed for the one page checkout. I'll fix the definitions ASAP and release a fix.

Fixes global checkout definitions bug;

This is so great!! Thanks for all your work on it.
I installed without a problem, however after I installed my confirm order page hangs....I changed the file per read me and it stops hanging.


Oh also my cc does not accept any cc # when this is installed. I am currently using just the plain CC module, after the card numbers are entered and the continue button is pushed there is an error...we are curently not accepting the credit card you are using (something close to that!)

I am guessing I did something wrong, any idea what?

The script hasn't been fully tested for all payment modules, so we will have to look into that. Something must be missing from the header.

This is a nice package that works fine, but doesn't show the error popups of the standard ZC checkout pages.

Is there an easy way to add these error messages so that if the customer does not select a payment option he will be notified? As it is now, the pages simply reloads and it's not obvious what the problem is.

[numinix]

Hmm, it's supposed to show the error messages... Do they appear if one-page-checkout is turned off, but not when it's on, or never?

The CONDITIONS error should be working...
The PAYMENT ERROR seems to be having problems.

Find:

 
    // check to see if a payment method is selected
      $payment_modules = new payment($_SESSION['payment']);
      $payment_modules->update_status();
      if ((!isset($_SESSION['payment']) && !$credit_covers) || (is_array($payment_modules->modules)) && (sizeof($payment_modules->modules) > 1) && (!is_object($$_SESSION['payment'])) && (!$credit_covers) ) {
        $payment_error = true;
      } 

Replace with:

    // check to see if a payment method is selected
      $payment_modules = new payment($_SESSION['payment']);
      $payment_modules->update_status();
      if ((!isset($_SESSION['payment']) && !$credit_covers) || (is_array($payment_modules->modules)) && (sizeof($payment_modules->modules) > 1) && (!is_object($$_SESSION['payment'])) && (!$credit_covers) ) {
        $payment_error = true;
        $messageStack->add_session('checkout_payment', ERROR_NO_PAYMENT_MODULE_SELECTED, 'error');
      } 

I've added two methods of showing the error messages in this script. Right now it's using the Zen Cart default method.

the file you are referring to is header_php.php in modules/pages/checkout? That whole section of code was commented out in my file and I didn't do any modification to it, in v1.05. Also, just below that section of code the credit card code starting with this line:

// credit card processing and other hidden fields

was also commented out.

Should I uncomment all of those sections and add the line from your post about messagestack function?
