Possible small compliance issue

The express checkout button needs to be "aligned with any other checkout buttons". Unless I have installed something wrong, my express button is on the bottom of the shopping cart page. Below the estimated shipping methods.
source PP_WebsitePaymentsPro_IntegrationGuide.pdf page 13.

PayPal recommends the following text near the logo in the regular checkout location.
"Save time. Checkout securely. Pay without sharing your financial information."

Thanks Dennis -- we appreciate the watchful eye and careful attention to detail !

I've noticed that some folks' templates do appear to push the button much lower on the page than it's intended. I think it's related to a stylesheet conflict, but may also be a result of other customizations on their site.

Re: Possible small compliance issue

I noticed that I had to add a "forward" in the <div> for the button in tpl_ec_button.php

<div id="PPECbutton" class="buttonRow forward">

Re: Possible small compliance issue

That's partly my point ... in the v1.3.7 upgrade, there was a CSS change, which some apparently miss:

this:```
.forward {
float: right;
}

.forward, #shoppingCartDefault #PPECbutton {
float: right;
}

That's going to happen a lot unless attention is drawn to the fact that it needs to be merged into YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css

Agreed ... the same with all the other files in any given upgrade ... all must be carefully merged with your existing files ... and esp into your custom overrides files.

Re: Possible small compliance issue

Kim, thanks for having it under control. Dr Byte thanks for the pat on the back.
I thought I would show an example anyway. I made some changes in the file
includes/templates/<my template>/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php
Moving the EC button code to just below this "<!--bof shopping cart buttons-->" fixed the issue for me. PayPal payments are in the increase. And thats less work entering data into the V-Terminal.

You folks are the greatest!

Re: Possible small compliance issue

<egg on face>

Dennis, you're right. Your visual explanation tripped my memory better than the verbal did. When initially looking at your post, I missed the fact that I'd fixed that on Jan 7 in development ... but haven't shared that fix yet. The other suggestions/points discussed above are also valid, but secondary to the root cause ... misplaced stuff in the template.

The updated template file for that is attached ... for those who are using the embedded shipping-estimator option:

Re: Possible small compliance issue

I have installed zen cart version 1.3.7.1 and the canada post shipping module...the estimator worked fine until last week and now it's not working and I never made any changes...the error log said there was a fatal error and It could not find the file.

Does anyone know where I can find the file...I tried downloading new version 1.3.8 and it still did not work...so I,m back to using the 1.3.7.1 version.
Here is the error message. I've been pulling my hair out for 2 days!! Please help
