Fast and Easy Checkout

numinix:

Doesn't it still email the customer the directions?

You'll have to copy the area of the template and header that processes and displays this information on checkout_confirmation.

Yes, it does put the instructions in the order confirmation email but I'd still like to put it on the checkout success page to lessen any confusion if they don't see it on their email.

I'll keep tinkering and when I finally get it worked out I'll post the code changes. Thanks for the insight!

FWIW, I'm running 1.3.5 (yeah, I know...) along with so many mods this post is almost worthless.

Anyway, after installing this package, the checkout page is literally blank, as in, it does not return a single line of HTML (or any code for that matter) and just displays a white screen.

I'm happy to help dig into this further, but you may be able to say, "Oh, it is only supposed to work with 1.3.7" or "The other mods probably broke it..." in which case it's all moot.

Is anyone else having a similar problem?

I'll dig a little bit for the time being, but will wait for further comments from everyone before taring it all apart.

I have no experience with Zen Cart prior to v1.3.7 and like you said, this was built for 1.3.7.

You can remove the changes by simply renaming the extra_configures file so that it uses the default definitions for the checkout_shipping and checkout_payment pages.

Hi numinix,

This is a great module. Is the latest version of this one page checkout module working well for zencart v1.3.7. Anyone is using it without problems?

All of the rewriting of the module was to get the one page checkout option working. And I believe it is; no bug reports by anyone in the forum...

Thanks for your confirmation. I remember trying the one-page checkout module in the download section a few months ago but it didn't work. I will give this module ago and see what happens. It will be fantastic if it works.

Completely different scripts. This one simply simulates the checkout confirmation thus maintaining the core structure of the checkout process. More a trick than anything else.

Hi,

Just a quick question. I am installing this module. In readme step 2:
Rename /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE to your custom template name.

I could only find /includes/templates/classic, do you mean to rename classic to my own template?

Also, step 4:
Add the following line to tpl_main_page.php.

and step 5:
Perform comparison (WinMerge) between the included tpl_checkout_confirmation.php and the file on your site

Which tpl_main_page.php and tpl_checkout_confirmation.php on my site? What are the paths?

In the instruction Step 5: Perform comparison (WinMerge) between the included tpl_checkout_confirmation.php and the file on your site (i.e. does not include ORDER STEPS, etc.);

tpl_checkout_confirmation.php is not included unless you mean tpl_checkout_confirmation_default.php or tpl_checkout_default.php. Which one is it? Also, do we have to make changes when we compare the two files?

I received this error during checkout. Please help. Thanks in advance.

The page isn't redirecting properly.
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

The files for editing will be found in your template's common folder. If they don't exist, you are still using the default template files which would suggest you haven't edited them - if you're using the override system properly...

If order steps is the only addition you have made to these pages, then you can overwrite (rename to backup first as always) as there is no need to display order steps when there is only a single checkout page.

The module uses redirects to move between the pages or to update information. That error means you are in an endless loop of redirects. Make sure you get everything else fixed first and then it should be working. You can see how it works here: http://www.numinix.com/1pagecheckout/

tpl_main_page.php is in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common

In the instruction Step 5: Perform comparison (WinMerge) between the included tpl_checkout_confirmation.php and the file on your site. However, tpl_checkout_confirmation.php is not included. Do you mean tpl_checkout_confirmation_default.php?

If yes, I have an original tpl_checkout_confirmation_default.php in /includes/templates/template_default/templates , should I create a copy of this original file in /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates ? What changes do I make when I compare my original tpl_checkout_confirmation_default.php with yours?

I looked at your one-page checkout. I could only get my one-page checkout to work by changing all the checkout links from <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL') . '"> to <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_CONFIRMATION, '', 'SSL') . '"> Am I supposed to do this? For your information, after changing this it sometimes still says the page isn't redirecting properly. Something is not right. Any idea? I also noticed that my one-page checkout still has 2 steps whereas yours has 1 step. Why is that?

Please let me know. Thanks in advance :)

If you have an oroginral tpl_checkout_confirmation in template_default, leave that file there and simply upload the new file to /your_template/templates/ and it will override the template_default folder. When you want to revert back you simply delete the file from your_template and it will revert back to template_default.

This contribution is not a one page checkout contribution by default. You need to install the sql file to be able to activate the one page checkout feature from the admin. Otherwise, It simply creates a 2 step process that includes the checkout confirmation page. The one page feature skips this step.

Thanks for your response.

Yes, I did install the sql file but my one page checkout still has 2 steps. Did I miss something?

I previously said I could only get my one-page checkout to work by changing all the checkout links from <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL') . '"> to <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_CONFIRMATION, '', 'SSL') . '"> but it sometimes still says the page isn't redirecting properly. I don't think I should do the changes though as I was exploring more I started to understand how the module works based on redirections. When it works, it actually takes quite a while to load the checkout page. My question is that if I don't make the aforementioned changes, it will not work at all. What did I do wrong? Your instructions didn't say to make these code changes.

Did you add the lines from the readme.txt to the correct pages so that there is a javascript function loaded and executed as checkout_confirmation loads?

Do you mean the following step? If yes, I did.

4. Add the following line to tpl_main_page.php:

   • Find: <body id="<?php echo $body_id . 'Body'; ?>"<?php if($zv_onload !='') echo ' onload="'.$zv_onload.'"'; ?>>

   • Replace With: <body id="<?php echo $body_id . 'Body'; ?>"<?php if($zv_onload !='') echo ' onload="'.$zv_onload.'"'; ?><?php if(FEC_ONE_PAGE == 'true' && $_GET['main_page'] == 'checkout_confirmation') echo ' onLoad="document.checkout_confirmation.submit();"';?>>

I believe I installed this module according to your instructions. Perhaps I should reinstall and see what happens.

Sure, then provide me a link to the installation site and I will take a look. Turn one-page checkout on. Is there a difference between on and off?

Hi, I reinstalled the module but the problem persists, i.e. during checkout, I received the following error message.
"The page isn't redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

The link is located at https://www.dealbyethan.com/checkout.html . This page shows up when someone hits checkout. The one-page checkout is on. I found out that one-page checkout was left as false in the Admin > Configuration. So the one-page checkout does only have one step. But what about the error message I keep getting during checkout? Why isn't the page redirecting properly? I did everything very carefully this time according to your instructions.
