Fast and Easy Checkout

Andy-C27:

Is this version of FEC compatible with responsive templates please

Short answer - If you are using the latest version, yes.

Long answer - When installing the FEC make sure that you merger and not just replace the files. It all depends on which responsive template you are using. I am using carlisle refresh and some of the files are not in the location the upload wants to put the replacement file. The way I did the installation of FEC was to do a website backup & then search the backup for the file to be changed. Then a MUST do a merger of the two files (probably telling you something you already know) merge the FEC file into your website file.

More help? just ask :smile:

thanks ... I was just wondering as you can buy the responsive fec ,but I suppose that means it's more responsive than the the free 1

ZC 1.5.3 / FEC 1.15.3

If a postal code is incorrect, FedEx gives the error message:

Error in processing transaction.
WARNING: There are no valid services available

But does not force warehouse pickup to be selected as the shipping option. If the customer does not select warehouse pickup, FEC is allowing the customer to checkout without any shipping option chosen.

I need to specify that warehouse pickup is chosen if no other method is available, as well as require that a shipping method is chosen before allowing the customer to go to the confirmation page.

Can anyone assist me with this?

FEC is what it indicates quick checkout, eliminates about 2 pages has nothing to do with the Shipping Mod. What you set up in the Shipping mod is what FEC or FEAC (my preference) will display as options for the customer.
You can offer UPS,USPS, FedEx, Flat Rate, ZipCode Zone, Will Call being controlled by zipcodes. I use for example all with Flat Rate set at $6.95 but if one of the other shippers price is actually less, then no matter who the shipper is the shipping cost that is displayed will show no lower than the Flat Rate price.... none of which has to do with FEC.

Let me simplify my issue. If there's no shipping method selected, FEC still allows the customer to go to the order confirmation page without selecting a shipping method. This should not be the case. If there is no shipping method selected, it should give an error saying that they need to select a shipping method. I need to know how to make sure that customers cannot proceed to the confirmation page without first selecting a shipping method.

It's been a few years since I have used FEC. I use FEAC and this is not a issue. I may be wrong but I believe if you turn off FEC you will find same thing happens. The shopping cart will default on least expensive method of shipping but if you don't have any shipping method install or turn on I don't know what it would do. Go to Numinix web site and ask that question since they wrote the mod. There may be a newer ver. there.

After digging, I found an answer.

https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?175464-Set-default-selected-shipping-method&p=1036811#post1036811

I'm confused because when I look at the cheapest_method function, it explicitly checks for storepickup and will not use that as the cheapest rate. However, I think this is a bug because if storepickup is the ONLY rate, it still will not get selected as the cheapest. This causes issues with mods like FEC.

Here is my fix.

Change line 172 to:

if (($rates[$i]['cost'] < $cheapest['cost'] and $rates[$i]['module'] != 'storepickup') || $size == 1) {

>

> 
> ```php
if ($rates[$i]['module'] != 'storepickup' || $size == 1) {  

Hi

I would like to install thus but there is no install.sql in the zip file. There are loads of previous sql updates but I don't know which one to use.

I am using v1.5.1 - any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Alan

Will this plugin work without the css/js loader? When I install css/js loader it messes up the css on my site.

You can find the SQL in the your_admin/includes/installers/fec folder. It automatically loads. You don't have to manually run it. Just install the module and it will run the SQL if needed.

I have installed FEC and lets say that I will only use the checkout as a guest, than you have the login and create account buttons everywhere, for instance on the far top, next to the items and the shoppingcart, or under the customers service button, and so on.
Is it oke to remove of all these, or am I missing something and do still need them?

Upload the files.
once uploaded load your admin the module will install it self. No need for an install.sql

I suspect if your site has issues with CSS/JS loader than it isn't configured/installed correctly, including building the auto_loaders

However you could...use the auto loaders in the includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/auto_loaders/ to piece together, the files needed for each page.

And then add them into the html_header.php or my personal preference tpl_footer.php both located in the includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/

HOWEVER. one benefit of CSS/JS loader is avoiding loading CSS/JS files twice. So make sure you are only running 1 version of jQuery, and 1 migrate file if needed.
For PCI compliance you should be running the most recent version of jquery which is 1.11.2 as of this post. My personal choice is to load from a CDN. But you could load from your site as well, try to load a minified copy example below. The migrate only need to be run if there is older code that doesn't work ideally if you could load without it that would be preferred.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.min.js"></script>

to get the SQL files out of there is quite difficult as it uses the $db->Execute, and you would have to change all the constants. Like the TABLE_CONFIGURATION would need to change to configuration, and the quotes would need to be removed as well as the $configuration_group would need to be found and then replaced in a similar matter.

Additionally there are several uses of the $sniffer class to determine if a column already exists. So to pull out the SQL is quite a difficult task.

Also it does not install until the admin page loads, and if already logged into the admin it will show a message in the message stack that it has install the version it has installed, and if it has added the configuration menu. Also it will check to see if there is a more recent version of the module on zen-cart.com

You can modify FEC to make it responsive, I have done it.

You will need to re-arrange several of the columns and do some styling changes. It doesn't work the same as the other mentioned.

As it wasn't designed for responsive but with some modifications you can make it "work"

You should be able to select force guest checkout in Configuration - > Fast and easy checkout. Also you will want to set it for customers to automatically be logged off upon checkout.

Does this problem exist when FEC is turned off?

Fast and easy checkout hangs on the following screen:

Home :: Checkout :: Confirmation
Your order is being processed, please wait...

I am using zen-cart 1.5.4 and using the responsive sheffield blue template.

here is a link to my website LHAL Sportscards & Collectibles

Any help would be appreciated.

Just based on the fact you are using 1.5.4, I suspect the issue is that in 1.5.4 there is ajax processing which hasn't been worked into FEC. And the jquery/javascript just by itself will conflict. as of 1.16.8, it isn't ready for 1.5.4 as the checkout payment has changed slightly.

I know it's "in the works" but it hasn't yet been completed.

So I would need to go back to using zc 1.5.3 for Fast and Easy checkout to work.
