Order Steps (tableless) support thread

I changed all the "width: 25%" to "width: 24%" in the css files, seems to work!

I just installed the mod and had the wrap issue too. I changed them all to 24% and presto! Works great.

Thanks for the tip.

To make it work perfectly on IE6, instead of changing 25% to 24% you can:
Comment out padding:

#order_steps {       /* Is needed for the centering in IE */
    /*padding: 0 3px;*/
    margin: 10px 10px;
    text-align: center;
     border: 1px solid #000;
     height:70px;
}

Also, to make the display look neat on IE6, you have to make these changes as well:

.progressbar_active {
/*     background:transparent url(../images/orderstep.png) repeat-x;    */
     background-color: #3DA200; /* Determines the active color of the completed part of the line */
     width:25%;
     float:left;
     height: 5px;
     line-height:5px;
     color: #3DA200;
}

.progressbar_inactive {
    background: url(../images/orderstep.png) repeat-x;    
     background-color: #9A9A9A; /* Determines the active color of the completed part of the line */
     width:25%;
     float:left;
     height: 5px;
    line-height:5px;
     color: #9A9A9A;
}

Take note how I commented out the background img, and added line height.

You have to applied the changes above to all the 4 css files.

I have Zen Cart 1.3.7 on my website www.katzgardengloves.com I had a couple of calls from people that they could not set up accounts and submit orders and so I tried to track down the problem. I just recently installed the Zen CArt Conversion KIt which includes the Order Steps--Tabless. I tried checking my trial account and could log in but when I tried checking ouit it would not go any further than step 1. And if I try to start a new account I get to input my information twice. Or rather it goes back to the original zencart registration page but goes no further.

I'm not very technical. I can edit files if I'm told where to look, but I'm no programer. I've learned a lot setting up this site, but this really has me stumped. I've looked through an earlier thread but didn't really understand it all. So some help will be sorely appreaciated.

Order Steps is only an add on at the top of the checkout pages indicating where you are in the checkout process - it does not affect the functioning of the login/register process nor the checkout functioning.

I'd check with the author of the conversion kit ( don't know if there is a support thread for it though)

Clyde,

The main part of the conversion kit created the spilt page format. Your mod was just included. But I'll contact him as well

On one of the threads for your mod had another person commented about the same thing that I just did. That the checkout or registration hung up between stages.

I couldn't understand what you told that person about fixing it. I figured that would be the same fix I needed. Could you tell me what you told him that fixed his problems so that I could understand it? :huh:

I have a lot of other mods on my site like but I didn't find where any of these conflicted with your files.

SEO urls,
clickshowhid category menu
columnn layout grid for product
cibtact information sidebox
newsletter subxcribe
paypal verified logo
return authorization
shopping cart in header
shopping cart with image side box
split panel login
telephone not required on signin

plus other items like:

easy populate advanced
editor fckeditorfm
export orders
ezpages on sitemap
header dropdown menu css
improved attributes controller

Any help would be appreciated.

Can you provide a url to this post so I can take a look?

Again, Order Steps does not affect any of the functioning of login/create account nor the checkout process.

I agree, order-steps does not affect the functionality of any page at all.

Clyde,

The post is http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53786&highlight=Order+Steps&page=4 Well page 4 is where he says he finds the answer how to fix it, but I do not understand how he did it. Where in admin did he do what he is talking about?

are you requiring users to confirm that they've read and agreed to your terms and conditions and your privacy statement?

No they don't need to agree to that. I just need to get them able to sign up so they can check out an purchase their items.

I just checked my admin for Regulations and both are set to false. That's not my problem. It's getting that dadburned green arrow to move to the next step along with getting to the next page. Sorry it's been a rough day and I'm tired. Guess I'd better head off to get some sleep and maybe I'll think better tomorrow. I had no problems before I added this mod along with the kit as I had gone all the way through the check out process with a test item. So I'm kind of frustrated right now.

i do appreciate your help Clyde.

I added this mod yesterday and like it very much.

The Order Steps pages load much slower than the rest of the website. Even slower than the other SSL pages.

Zen 1.3.6 and Order Steps 1.1 to match.

Could not find any posts about it.

Anyone Know what the deal is?

Again as stated elsewhere in this thread, This mod only sits at the top of each checkout page and does not affect how those pages function in any way nor should it affect the loading of the page(s) to any significant degree.

You're two Zen Cart versions behind; maybe upgrading to 1.3.8 might help.

Clyde, Need to wait a little while on the upgrade.
Have other sites we test on.
1.8 does not play well with our heavy attributes and wholesale/dual pricing add-on and quantity discounts combination. Waiting on 2.0 to upgrade.

We installed the Order Steps on 2 websites. Only one is slow loading those pages.

In looking for differences, the website with PHP 5 and SQL 5 works great.

The one with PHP 4 and SQL 4 loads the Order Steps pages slowly.

The drop in portion of the mod at the top of each page only uses calls to the appropriate stylesheet in order to display. The mod makes no calls to the database and no calls to any of the functionality of the checkout pages.
It uses two images; a 1x1 transparent gif and the 24x24 arrow gif.

You may have a long wait before upgrading since the next ZC version coming out will be 1.4.0

Clyde, I understand what you are saying.
It should not affect page loads.

Fact is, it did slow those pages down when the mod was added on one of the website.

I'll try to figure out what is up.

Thanks for your replies.

After looking at the page load many times, the Order Steps pages are possibly not any slower than the other SSL pages.

It may just seem that way as the progress arrow is the last thing to load on the page. And of course at this time, that is what I have been focusing on.

Great mod. Many Thanks.

Dan

An updated version of Order Steps (tableless) which provides better accessibility for those who use assistive devices or text-only browsers, is now available in the downloads section.

Hi Clyde,

I may be missing something about the style (didnt see anything in the readme file)...I just downloaded the mod and I love it...but the style is different than the previous versions.

You can see my site here: https://www.eyemagic.net/store

Notice how the numbers are displayed instead of the arrow. Is this fixable in CSS? Or is there a setting Im missing?

Hope Im not missing something...it works great other than the style issue.

Thanks!

Dave
