Need help with some basic questions, please

[Gourockian]

Hi,

I have two questions which I hope someone could help me with. I'm using Business v7 and have UPS Online tools enabled.

#1. I would like to have the Residential checkbox pre-checked, but with the option for the customer to be able to un-check it. I know from personal experience when shipping items sold on eBay, that it's so easy to forget to check the UPS Residential box, which then leads to a UPS backcharge. I've already gone through the other threads but for some reason, I couldn't get anything to change.

#2. Is it possible to have the navigation bar appear on pages beyond the "Checkout Now" stage. I would like to have at least the View Cart button available so that last minute changes can be made to the order. This would allow customers to either change the quantity or go back into the catalog.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Regards,


Alistair

Edit the Act_LocationSelectTemplate.html, and fine the following:

<td width="33%" align="LEFT">NETQUOTEVAR:RESIDENTIALPROMPT<INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="NETQUOTEVAR:REQLOCATIONRESIDENTIAL" NETQUOTEVAR:NETQUOTEVAR:REQLOCATIONRESIDENTIAL>

change this to read:

<td width="33%" align="LEFT">NETQUOTEVAR:RESIDENTIALPROMPT<INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="NETQUOTEVAR:REQLOCATIONRESIDENTIAL" NETQUOTEVAR:NETQUOTEVAR:REQLOCATIONRESIDENTIAL checked>

The only way to achieve this, would be to hardcode the link in your checkout primary template. So if you go to "Design | Option | Layout", click on "Edit", next to "Checkout Primary Template.", and hardcode the link for "View Cart" here. The link for the view cart would be something similar to:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/ca000001.pl?ACTION=SHOWCART

Of course, changing localhost to your domain name.

Kind Regards

Hi Nadeem,

Thanks yet again. I've now got the Residential box working OK.

Since posting the original questions, we have now changed to the Best Seller theme. Instead of just being able to have the View Cart button appearing on the checkout pages, would it not be possible to continue the View Cart and Main Pages buttons on the left hand side, so that they appear beyond the product pages? Would this work if I copied the code from one page to another?
Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Regards,

Alistair

Hi there

Yes, you could simply copy what i had written before, and put the code in "Design | Option | Layout | Default Overall Layout". Placing the code in the "Default Overall Layout", will then be used thoughout the whole site, which uses that template. Typically the "Default Overall Layout" is "Act_Primary.html".

Kind Regards
