Changing the err Change buttons in the shopping cart to text

[george]

Been looking into modifying the shopping cart and I'm thinking the two `Change` buttons on page two of the checkout would be better if they were more discreet making a text link probably a better choice than the standard grey buttons.

Anyone done this before?

Another reason I think that this would be a good idea is that the Next button is below the fold of the page and customers who maybe dont have a good command of the English language might click on the lowest change button in error.

Must admit I'm a little nervous at changing these buttons (to text) as wrecking the cart would be a terrible way to start the week!

Hi George,

I don't think this is possible, however, you could use an image that looks like a text link using the workaround in the AUG - Using Images for the 'Change Location' Button (around page 140).

Thanks for the reply, struggling with this bit though... (I can paste code obviously, but in this case I'm not exactly sure what to put exactly where?

"Next, open 'OrderScript.pl' before the code that you input as part of the 'Images for Checkout Buttons' code as mentioned above, you need to enter:

if(!defined $::g_InputHash{"ACTION"})
{
if(defined $::g_InputHash{"ACTION_CHANGELOCATION.x"})
{
$::g_InputHash{"ACTION"} = ACTINIC::GetPhrase(0, 18);
}
}

This bit must be part of a separate if statement to the other buttons or it won't work."

Its on page 114.

I'd appreciate a numptys guide!

Doh, sorry, I was looking at the v9 AUG.

This is actually an extra bit to the article directly before it, so do the following:

- locate 'OrderScript.pl' within your 'Site1' (or equivalent) folder with Notepad and find the following code:

@Response = ReadAndParseBlobs(); 		# read the catalog blobs
($Status, $Message) = @Response; 		# parse the response
if ($Status != $::SUCCESS)
        {
        ACTINIC::ReportError($Message, ACTINIC::GetPath());
        }

- paste the code in your last post after the above.

Thanks for the reply, its a worthwhile tweak in my opinion.

Might be an idea to alter the AUG though, to include the bit thats in the previous article as a few people will go straight to the atricle from the index as opposed to reading the previous one.

I actually searched for this with a few phrases with no luck, it might also be an idea for the search replies to include results from the AUG as well, as I'd have found the answer myself then. (lesson to self too of course, check the AUG more often as well)

Good idea, I'll pass it onto the person who's responsible for the AUG.

(lesson to self too of course, check the AUG more often as well)

And the knowledge base . Articles from the AUG are included in the knowledge base.

Yep, the Knowledge base too.
