Fast and Easy Checkout

EZorb:

If I understand what you mean that is the way FEC works, it will default on the least costly shipping method. If it does not default on a selection your customer could place an order with out paying for shipping.

STEP 1 is the shipping section where the customer selects his choice of shipping if he does not want the default.

Step 2 is Payment section and if customer is transferred to PayPal he must return back to STEP 1 Shipping section to change shipping method.

I would add a note at the PayPal button telling customer to be sure Shipping method is correct before going to PayPal.

You need to turn off the PayPal button so it will only display in STEP 2 the Payment section. This way customer may change shipping method before selecting payment method.

In your Login for new customers I would put the checkmark back in for Shipping address same as Billing. The customer can always un-check if they have shipping address different.

And, that's the problem - in STEP 2 the customer can NOT change the shipping method, although the radio buttons with all other options are there, it always goes to STEP 3 with whatever the initial pre-selected shipping option was.

In other words, customers are stuck with one shipping option, which they can not change.

Btw. I reversed the changes in the tpl_checkout_shipping_default.php that I made to eliminate the default shipping pre-selection. Still no change in the way it works/doesn't work.

I've pretty much run out of options. No reply from the Numinix support thread.

Thank you for looking into it!

In the Paypal payment configuration (payment modules) you can choose for Paypal to select the cheapest shipping option, is it possible this has anything to do with it?

When I login to your site last night I had no problem changing to different shipping methods on the "checkout" page. Another problem I noticed you had with FEC is the CSS/JQuey was not working.
Again once your customer leaves zencart "Checkout" page and is on the PayPal payment page the customer has to return to zencart "Checkout" page to make any changes. FEC was working OK except for the things I told you.

CSS/JQuey gets turned on when the "One Page Checkout" is set to true. When it is it goes to a blank page with "Your order is being processed, please wait..." displayed, and it never goes any further.

The only way I found the FEC can take me all the way to PayPal is if the One Page Checkout option is turned off. I don't have any idea why this option is not working, and I couldn't find anything definite on the forums while searching for it.

Design75, I tried this with the PayPal configuration - nothing changes.

Thank you, guys!

I had this working fine on 1.3.9h apart from the telephone number for the delivery address which was causing the change of address to fail.

I did a file compare and up loaded the new version which was in the down load section as there seemed to be some changes. Now I cannot get the check out pages to load and the other module I have installed (AIS - Ajax Attribute Images Swapper) has also stopped working.

I can only assume this is related to a conflict with the jquery, but I cannot get the fist page of check out to load at all. Any ideas where I start to resolve.

Okay now I am confused and just wanting to check what version should be used. I have tried 1.82 - which I had working at one point I think - this seemed to have a pop up window for the change of address - I liked that. Just tried the version from Numinix and this has disappeared - now I cannot change the address - the change of address page is not editable and it does not pop up.

Is this right that this feature has gone? I am now confused over what version does what as reading the numinix history of changes he seems to have removed a few things that I liked about this module. Has anyone else found this or have I failed to re install a file following my earlier issue. (see my earlier post).

Confirmation of what is the best version to use with any ajax or jquery features would be good. Thanks

Version 1.9.4 was the last version with the pop-up, after that it was removed

Design75,

thank you for your response. I seem to have 1.8.2 from the downloads section here on the Zencart site. Were there any other fixes in 1.9.4 and do you know if it is still available for download?

I don't know what was fixed exactly between those versions. For that you will have to check the Numinix site. The 1.9.4 version can be downloaded from there also.

Hi, I've uploaded all the required files and patched SQL. After doing so I have been unable to log into my admin area. My admin login page is BLANK!! I am freaking out! I've now deleted all of the files, not sure how to manually uninstall the SQL patch. PLEASE HELP! Want to remove this module so I can log into admin area again. I have version 1.3.9h. :(

AngiePoo:

not sure how to manually uninstall the SQL patch

maybe too late, but the repeated advice all over the forum is before you update/add on any mods is to backup your site... this includes your database if the mod has sql patches etc.

to backup the database get to phpMyAdmin or equivalent and export all the tables to file on your PC

Tip: to keep track of each version, adopt a naming convention like 'DatabaseName_Date_Time.sql' once you've backed up the database then and only then apply sql patches.

If it goes belly-up you can easily undo the changes by revisiting phpMyAdmin and dropping all the tables and re-importing the database that worked.

i learnt the hard way too!

Hello,

Is this module compatible with 1.5.0?

Thanks

This is why it pays to search the forums.. Answers are usually just a few pages back..:yes:

creinold:

Sorry folks I have moved away from zen-cart but have a few legacy clients still using zen-cart.

I can confirm FEC does work with 1.5.0 (see my clients website: saltwatersandals4u.com to see it in action) I installed the last version as is then had to go into phpadmin to activate the module by switching it to true from false. Just an FYI...

I could of added it into the menu but since I only have two clients still using zen-cart it wasn't worth my time to re-modify the add on to make the admin menu work.

;)

DBB1:

Looks like FEC has just been updated for use on the Numinix website for ZC 1.5.0....

-DBB1

Design75:

While the newest version of FEC is indeed working with Zen Cart 1.5 it still has a lot of old 1.38 code in it files.

I must say, even though I know it is all free and I really do appreciate all the work that is being put in it, I was a little disappointed.

So it works, but I wouldn't call it compatible.

Yes but I would recommend the FEAC version well worth the expense. The A means Ajax. This is on Numinix

Did you load all at the same time or did you load each and check if it works? You need to know when/what it broke.
What I would do is zipup your live cart down load it. Using Beyond compare or equal remove the zone module and Gift wrapping. Then zip up and see if it will work now. If all is not OK then load the cart on the right side and load FEC on the left side of Beyond compare. After checking all files should be equal. You may find one file loaded wrong or a file missing or you wrote over a shopping cart file instead of merging. The point is FEC will work with zencart meaning something is not installed correctly. Once that is working OK then using Beyond Compare load the next module and merge into the shopping cart. Check if it works OK then load in the zone module and merge into the shopping cart. Check if it is still working. Pay close attention that one module is not overwriting a file in the shopping cart. This is the reason to not upload a module into your cart, you should use Beyond compare so you can see what is about to happen, upload the module merge shopping cart not the module into the cart.

Thanks for the tips..
But where should I get Beyond Compare? is it a freeware?

ok... found it.. will give it a go...
But... what possibly be the cause of the slow checkout? is it missing pages? because I did not encounter any blank pages or error codes... just slowww processing during checkout..

Got a couple of questions having just installed FEC on our main site (we already had it working on two of our other sites)

1. With the check box for "Same address for billing and shipping" I'd like this unchecked by default rather than checked. I can do this by changing Configuration>Fast and Easy Checkout Configuration>Copy Billing to false, but then the shipping drop-down doesn't display initially, only when you check and uncheck the box. Is there a fix for this?

2. I had a javascript banner: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=156100 which was working perfectly well until I installed FEC, and now it's blank. Not entirely sure what's gone wrong (I assume it's to do with the CSS JS loader I uploaded before installing FEC), has anyone had similar problems?
