Option tickbox

[Darfield]

Hi,

I would like to have a second tick box (that should be required) just like terms and conditions and I do not know how to do that. Could somebody please help me?

You might like to change User Defined field to a checkbox.

If you open 'Act_order01.html' and look for:

<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="INVOICEUSERDEFINED" SIZE="20" MAXLENGTH="255" VALUE="NETQUOTEVAR:INVOICEUSERDEFINED">

Then you could change it to:

<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="INVOICEUSERDEFINED" CHECKED="NETQUOTEVAR:INVOICEUSERDEFINED">

This would then accept a value of true or false for INVOICEUSERDEFINED.

Thank you

thanks for your quick reply, it works.
The only thing is that the tickbox is already checked now, can we change that into 'not' checked??

[DaveT]

Take away the CHECKED="NETQUOTEVAR:INVOICEUSERDEFINED" bit.

[Darfield]

but what does that bit means then?

[DaveT]

The 'checked' attribute of a checkbox defines whether it is set to ticked or not. Since a checkbox has 2 possible states, checked="true" or checked="false", this sets that state (although in the actual html page, <input...checked="false"..> would probably be ticked, as the 'checked' part is all that is required).

In the resulting html on the live page, a pre-ticked checkbox will come out as:

<INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="INVOICEPRIVACY" CHECKED>

[Darfield]

thanks again

That works perfectly , thanks for that

Is it possible to show this tickbox under the terms and conditions tickbox??

[DaveT]

All those 'rows' on the checkout page are grouped by a <tr><td....</td></tr>
grouping.

You would need to copy a row from the T&Cs and place it directly underneath the last </tr> within that row that controls T&Cs.

Make a backup first before changing that html.

That works, only I just tested this script on the login accounts but if you do not tick the box, you are still able to make an order.
Is this a different .html file?

[Darfield]

problem:

1 (normal order) They second tickbox is required and that works well, if you do not tick then you can not get pass that
2 (login order) The same tickbox (so required), this doesn't work, you can pass if you don't tick it.

Can somebody tell me what to do?

Many thanks

[DaveT]

That might be because the INVOICEPRIVACY and other fields aren't set up by the logged in page.

Do you have a url I can see?

[Darfield]

sorry can not show you a link, can you try to give me some solutions?

If you do not want people to look at your site on a public forum, then the other possibility is you register an email support query directly with us at http://www.actinic.co.uk/support/register.html.

I'm afraid it is very tricky to diagnose site problems without a URL to look at.
