How to set default radio button for payment?

I have my cart configured for 3 different payment options:
#1 credit card
#2 Paypal (standard)
#3 check/money order

I want the radio button for the credit card option (sort order #0) to be automatically checked the first time a user reaches this page. Anyone know where I can do this? I would imagine it's in the code somewhere...

When the customer clicks inside the Credit Card fields to enter their credit card details, it will automatically select the radio button next to that option for them. There's no need to select a "default".

I have the same issue that no radio button deault is checked even when customers fill out the credit card info. To make matters worse, the card number disappears forcing them to re-enter their card number again. I have complaints about this and want to set the radio button default to credit card.

I have version 1.3.8a with Authorizenet_aim and Paypal IPN payment modules.

Why won't the radio button get checked on my site at www . olivus . us ???

How do I set a default option ???

Never had that problem with 1.38a, but now running 1.39 and it works just like The Doc said. Once the customer click inside the CC field it will be auto selected.

Just discovered today that this does not work with Authorize.Net or Merchant partners. Perhaps this was part of the old CC that was removed?

Not sure what you're talking about.
The auto-select-the-radio-button feature works just fine for all built-in payment modules (including Authorize.net) and for any that were modeled after them.

One instance is with a Merchant Partners add-on that was cloned from an earlier Authorize.Net example. I will need to see if the newer authorizenet files are different from what was used as the model for the MP in use. It's been four years so nothing could have changed, right?:P

The other is on a 1.3.9h site with Authorize.Net BUT it does use a TM template.:censored:

Hopefully, I'll have more time to look at it later today. There is an old workaround to force the button with the lowest sort order to be selected, but I would prefer to have the code outside that particular tpl file.

Thanks for the heads up.

Hi Dr. Byte

Ive been struggling a bit with this. I have installed

1. Paymex Payment module
2. Bank Deposit
3. Paypal

when i change the order to bank deposit as #1 it seems to select it as the default but as soon as i change it back to Paymex ###### default, it doesnt seem to pre-select.
Any Ideas on whats Up????

That seems to indicate the Paymex module has the problem.

any ideas where to start?

1.3.7 would select the radio button for the credit card when you start typing the card number, i am testing with 1.3.9h and it does not do that, is it a bug or am i missing something?

You must be missing something, because out-of-the-box v1.3.9 also auto-selects the radio button when you start typing.

Thanks DrByte,

I am in away relieved that i missed something rather than it is a bug, i can see the onfocus="methodSelect('pmt-cc')" in the source code in all the credit cards fields.

I checked for the file that has this function and it is present on the computer /includes/modules/pages/checkout_payment, also since i am able to see this effect with another site (1.3.7) i know that java script is enabled.

The only way i can select the radio button for the credit card without directly clicking on it is by clicking anywhere on the label "Credit Card".

Any suggestion to what could be missing? I have the site on a server and i can PM you the IP address to see what i am talking about if you think that would help. Thanks.

Zen Cart 1.3.9h

I forgot to mention that i am using the Fast and Easy Checkout add on.

The SecurePayCOM payment module had the same problem, where people would click in the boxes, enter their information but the payment module would never actually select.. I've compared back and forth between the SecurePayCOM and AuthorizenetAIM modules and figured out the problem. If you open up the authorizenet_aim.php file in the payment modules and go to line 182, you'll find this line of code: ```php
$onFocus = ' onfocus="methodSelect('pmt-' . $this->code . '')"';

On each of the "fields" in your $selection array you will also have to enable the onfocus function.

```php
'field' => zen_draw_input_field('authorizenet_aim_cc_owner', $order->billing['firstname'] . ' ' . $order->billing['lastname'], 'id="'.$this->code.'-cc-owner"'. $onFocus . ' autocomplete="off"'),

make sure any 'field' => you have in that array has $onFocus listed in the parameters, and it's best to add in the autocomplete="off" parameter as well.

I see this is an older thread. I don't see where anyone actually solved the problem of the Payment Type radio button being set as a default in 1.3.9. I have two types of payment options on my store and neither radio box is selected at checkout. If the customer enters their credit card information in to the number field still the radio box doesn't select. I have had many orders sent to me without credit card numbers as a result of people not physically selecting the box and thinking because they entered their cc number it would automatically be ok. In the old version 1.3.7 this used to be automatic when you entered the number in the cc box. Does anyone know why this option no longer works, or what can be done to have the Credit Card radio box set as the default? Thanks in advance for your input.

Your problem will be caused by either or both of the following:
a) your tpl_checkout_payment_default.php template is missing important content and/or the jscript code for the checkout_payment page is missing or damaged or tampered with
b) your payment module is outdated and doesn't contain the required logic to output the needed tags for the logic to work

Hi DrByte

Thanks for your reply. I am using ceon_manual_card.php in my 1.3.9 cart. Should I download the original tpl_checkout_payment_default.php file and compare it to the one I am using as a first measure?

That's a start. I would suggest you deal with both issues I mentioned.
