Billing and Delivery Address Not Showing in HSBC

[cdicken]

OK - valve man first...

The last post ie select seems to be the right move!

Yeah - sorry about that. My mistake.

Also, if you decide to select "show" for "If you want to ship the purchase to an address other than ..." in Design|Text|Website the customer can choose that option and the form appears on the next page and both are printed in the HSBC pages. Result!

Great news! Remember you can re-name this prompt to make the wording clearer.

And finally, because we're all perfectionists, can we lose/hide the words "Select Invoice Location UK Delivery Code: United Kingdom" ? Some punters might/will be confused!

In Act_Order00.html replace
NETQUOTEVAR:PRELIMINARYINFORMATION
with

<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:PRELIMINARYINFORMATION -->
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" ID="lstDeliveryCountry" NAME="LocationDeliveryCountry" VALUE="UK">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" ID="lstDeliveryRegion" NAME="LocationDeliveryRegion" VALUE="UndefinedRegion">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" ID="lstInvoiceCountry" NAME="LocationInvoiceCountry" VALUE="UK">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" ID="lstInvoiceRegion" NAME="LocationInvoiceRegion" VALUE="UndefinedRegion">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="SEPARATESHIP" VALUE="YES">

This will basically remove everything from the first page of the checkout - so I suggest you add in some extra text into this template, perhaps explaining how the checkout will work.

OK - onto Darren:

I now have another question. How do I get rid of the Select Shipping Destination header on the checkout page and do I also have to show the Select Invoice Location Country: United Kingdom Country:* United Kingdom. Can I not make these hidden fields as before?

Yes - as above. Although you will need your county list won't you? You will need to copy this <select> box from your current generated store page and place this within Act_Order00.html instead of <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" ID="lstDeliveryRegion" NAME="LocationDeliveryRegion" VALUE="UndefinedRegion">

Can I also remove the following:

There are no addresses in your address book. Check here to add new address to your address book

Comment out NETQUOTEVAR:ADDRESSBOOK in Act_Order02.html.

Hi Chris

Looks like we're there.
Is my method of hiding ie using white on white likely to give problems do you think?

White on white only is a problem to search engines, but then again you don't really want search engines listing your checkout pages...

Hi

Yes it fine to make these whie but people with text readers are still going to have these read out. Why can't I just have both of these as hidden files like I had before? I don't have a drop down list as I'm only taking orders from within the UK.

The code I had before in the Act_LocationSelectTemplate.html was as follows:

<input type="HIDDEN" id="LocationDeliveryCountry" name="LocationDeliveryCountry" value="UK" />United Kingdom <input type="HIDDEN" id="lstDeliveryRegion" name="LocationDeliveryRegion" value="UndefinedRegion" />

Can I just do this for both of them?

Cheers

Hi Darren

I take your point re white on white.
I have a pull down list because we have free local delivery for now and will have a standard rate for elswhere in the UK.

Hi

Sorry is their an answer about making these fields hidden as I used the example you give and I just get the error message please select your county, which I have as a free text field and this is on the 2nd page not the 1st page.

Cheers

If you have these fields as a free text field (i.e. you are using simple shipping or simple tax) then HSBC will not show the addresses correctly within their system.

I am away next week, so if you have further problems, can I ask you to post a new thread which the rest of the team will pick up and act on.
