How to show a module (navigation) in cart but not in checkout process?

[dddirk]

I want to reduce user distraction in the checkout funnel. Thats why the horizontal navigation should not be visible while entering the address, shipping and payment data. But it should be visible on the shopping cart page. How can I achieve this?

 

I know I can set exceptions under module / positions. But when I set 'order' as exception the navigation is hidden on the cart page as well.

Is there an option thats aimed at the checkout pages but not the cart page?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can set exceptions for the module from modules->positions. Check the hook and module you are interested in, hit edit, and you will see a list of page you can exclude it from

Thank you for your feedback!

 

My problem is that I do not know what to choose as exklusion since 'order' hides the module at the checkout pages AND the shoppping cart.

 

I am looking for a solution to distinguishing between the cart and the rest of the checkout process.

I take it as you are using the 5 steps checkout. It should be sending a "step" parameter, so in the module's hook (in the php code) you might try to check if step is set. If it is, return false, it means it's not the cart page

Yes, I use the 5 steps checkout.

 

But it seems there is no usable "step" parameter. Or I am not able to find it.

 

Maybe you mean the "current_step" variable in the order-steps.tpl? This variable does not help because it is assigned in the checkput tpl-files just before the inclusion of the order-steps.tpl

{assign var='current_step' value='address'}
{include file="$tpl_dir./order-steps.tpl"}

Ah, no I meant in the module, using Tools::getValue('step'), in the module's hooking method, in the core php file
