Jerry, I noticed from your previous posts that you're not using Easy Sign-Up and Login v1.18b+?

Therefore, you should, perform the following extra step in includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/create_account.php:

Find:

$address_id = $db->Insert_ID();

Add After:

// FEC MODIFICATION
$_SESSION['sendto'] = $_SESSION['customer_default_address_id'] = (int)$address_id;

hi,limelites,

Thanks for your reminding.

yes, i did add the above code to create_account.php

i installed the version 1.28 available at http://www.numinix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4
when click the button "go to checkout" in shopiing_cart page, it does not response, it always loading.

anybody know what is the problem?

when you switch to your classic template, is the button doing the same thing?

Gimme a URL to your site and I'll look at your source code to see if there's anything obvious to me.

What's it say in status bar when you hover over button or what's the properties when you right click properties?

hi, limelites,

Many thanks for your quick answer.

when hover on it, it shows https://www.topalways.com/checkout/
after clicking, it always loading. and in the IE bar, it have no
change, always shows https://www.topalways.com/shopping_cart/

any further question?:unsure:

P.S. i thought it has something with my Ultmate SEO mod? what do you think of this?

I added something to my cart, created account and clicked on checkout but was shown this page:

1. Try switching to classic template and then testing your button... this will help eliminate core files.

2. You should uninstall the SEO mod and test again. I've read bad things about SEO static URL mods and it could well be the culprit.

To find out what's happened though, try above first.

I've gotten to step 3 in your checkout process (final stage) and have not been able to replicate the broken button...

Which button is it exactly and on which page of the checkout process?

It's very odd as I can go to your shopping_cart page and click on the "go to checkout" button with no problems at all.

I've had a thorough browse through your checkout and shopping cart pages, clicking on your buttons seems to work perfectly from here.

It's odd if it's not working for you... Try clearing your cache history, closing all your browsers etc., etc.,.... and try again....

Really nice site by the way!

hi,limelites

May i ask is that ***** ***** registered at ******.com??

Sorry, when you are testing my site, i turned of FEC.
so you can go to 3 steps without any problem.

by the way, how to use the template "classic"??

many appreciated for your time.
Yes, it was me who registered to test your site. Never knew you had disabled FEC.. The fact it's working with FEC disabled sort of rules out the SEO mod.

Did you try a fresh FEC install?

To enable calssic template from admin, goto tools/template selection and enable Classic Contemporary Green template just to test it... then switch back :-)

No, the seo mod isn't ruled out. FEC doesn't work with rewritten URLs. Other mods like Simple SEO URLs and Magic SEO URLs have fixes to not rewrite the URLs for FEC. Ultimate SEO URLs does not. Speak to that author for a workaround.

Hi All,

I've been using this mod for a while but only recently considered it as a Bailed Cart symptom.

I've spent the last couple of days looking for reasons as to why I'm getting bailed carts and having changed as much of my site as possible (added as many payment modules as I can, minimised escape routes, maximised site security, etc., etc.,) I looked again at the checkout page.

I feel that the page order is not quite right and I'm wondering if this has been brought up here before? I'd like to rearrange the order in which the page elements appear so that they are more logical and the most important things are displayed first:

It makes sense to me if the first thing the customer sees is payment methods and shipping choices rather than discount coupons and gift certificates.

The order that seems most logical to me is:

• Shopping Cart Contents

• Payment Method

• Shipping Method

• Billing and Shipping Address (together in one table)

• Special Instructions

• Gift Certificate and Discount Coupons.

So now for the golden question, where would I begin.... what file controls the order these elements are displayed in?

organize the elements in the appropriate template file. FEC uses 3 different template files for the checkout page. One main file and then one of two files for the layout of elements. You would want to edit the template file that has the word "stacked".

I already edited it and I managed to move step 1 to the top and get the page laid out more logically. It's much better now although still not perfect :-)

Thanks for clarifying this. In that case it'd be best to simply uninstall the SEO MOD. Static URL's are no longer necessary anyway, Google and all other major search engines can handle and recognise dynamic URL's anyway :-)

I'm having a problem with FEC: my installation of FEC made the checkout process STOP checking out the 'stock by attributes' module completely. So it doesn't reduce the stock.

Any clue what's happening? Thanks in advance.

I'm experiencing the original problem quoted here, which is allowing checkout without checking the product stock. The original quote by cropinstop indicates that the problem was found, but I don't see what the fix is. Anyone know? Please let me know. Thanks!

If you're using the 'stocks by attributes' mod with FEC then perhaps you're experiencing the same problem I did some time back. Take a look at my postings in the SBA thread here. I managed to sort my problem which sounds similar to yours. Hope it helps.

Hi Numinim,

Im trying to re-install this mod, however your forum is down so i cant get to any instructions? Any idea how long this will be down for??

Many thanks

Paul

There's installation instructions in the downloaded mod files called documentation.html

Hi, do you offer installation for the add-on, against a fee?

I have a custom template, which I think prevents the add-on to work...

Here's the link :
http://www.marcsebastien.com/shop1/index.php?main_page=index

It's very frustrating because the split presentation is exactly what I'm looking for!!! :huh:

Hi,

Ive just downloaded and installed the latest version, which does have the documentation, thankyou.

However im still getting step 1 of the normal checkout proces come up? Do i need to manually change the link in the shopping cart to goto a different page? Im using Magic SEO which i think is causing the problems?

Many thanks

Paul.

phil99:

One issue, though - it seems to crash under the following conditions:

If the "ship to" country is not defined or listed as "skip" in the shipping module, pressing "Continue Checkout" (main_page=checkout) causes the crash. Same crash occurs if you try to select an unsupported country from the address book (main_page=checkout_shipping_address).

The crash shows up as "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" in IE and "Page Load Error - Redirect Loop - server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete" in Firefox.

Unmodified (stock) ZC will not proceed from checkout Step 1 to Step 2 until you change the shipping address to a country that is supported by at least one shipping module, but FEC just crashes.

Using latest FEC , ZC 1.3.7 with SSL enabled.

Any ideas?

Still got this bug. Any ideas?
