Other Info

[Napolean]

Good Morning

Is it possible to make the other info prompt not required, I would like customers to be able to type in only if they require a specific colour etc, at present I have set it on all products, simply because i still do not have time to add seperate colour options etc to all products yet


To add, since upgrading to Actinic 7 and smart theme, Orders are now flooding in. Thank you Actinic team and Best wishes

Hi Martin

One way to make this field not required is to have a default value in that field, therefore letting you continue through the checkout with or without putting anything in to the other info prompt.

To do this, go to Design | Text, click the GOTO button and put Phase -1, ID 2161, then paste the following into that field...

%s<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="%s" SIZE="%d" MAXLENGTH="%d" VALUE="." dummy="%s" %s>

Hope that helps

Have you tested that solution all the way through checkout? Also check when the customer changes the info in the Cart.

I've a feeling that these paramters are now used by the Perl scripts.

I see what you mean Norman, it works fine through to the checkout without clicking the view cart button, but once view to cart is clicked the info needs re-entering, for now I have added a message asking customers to re-input there requirements, Is there a work around for this? I guess your the Man to ask

Try this:-

Edit ActinicOrder.pm (back it up first)

Look for the fragment (there is only 1 instance)

if (length $sInfo == 0)

Change it to

if (length $sInfo < 0)

Now see if things work (you probably can restore the Design / Text Phase -1, ID 2161 to it's original value).

PS you'll need to redo this if you upgrade Actinic as the Oerl scripts usually get replaced by newer versions.

Good morning Norman.
Thank you that works a lot better, It does need the Design / Text Phase -1, ID 2161 restoring to it's original value to make it work, but then it works a treet

once again Thank you and best wishes
