[SOLVED] Change the order process steps

[dna]

To make things more convenient for my customers, i would like to make some changes to the order process. Currently after the customer adds a product to the cart it automatically goes to the login and bypass the summary page. The process goes in this order after the customer adds to cart .....Login=>Address=>Shipping=>Payment>...Therefore customers skip the summary page and forces them to go back and click on the summary page manually..

How can I make changes, so after my customers add to cart it can go directly to the Summary=>Login=>Address=>Shipping=>Payment

thanks for your help

I had the same problem with the default setup. The easiest way I found was to remove the checkout button and just renamed the cart button Cart/Checkout. So when the person clicks it they are taken to the cart itself and can the proceed to checkout from there.

I can give you some detailed instructions on doing this if that is what you are after. It's really easy.

If you make the following changes it should look like my attached picture.


Make the following change to *Store DIR*\modules\blockcart\blockcart.tpl

1. Scroll to the bottom and you will see the following code:

{l s='Cart' mod='blockcart'}
{l s='Check out' mod='blockcart'}

2. Either remove or comment out the second link which shows order.php?step=1.
3. Change the class on first link order.php" from button_small to exclusive so it becomes the big green button instead of the small gray one.
4. On the same line change the last s='Cart' to s='Cart/Checkout' or whatever text you want the button to display.

It should end up looking like this:

{l s='Cart/Checkout' mod='blockcart'}

And thats it your done.
