View Cart and Checkout HTML

[Dr John William]

I am using a standard design throughput the store www.doctorenergy.co.uk which has a search box visible on every page.

This is viewable when clicking View Cart from the homepage. When View Checkout is clicked however the search box disappears. Any ideas as to what template is controlling this and therefore what needs to be amended?

I am not certain if its possible but it would be useful if in the source code visible one could see the active templates used as this might help to track down the problem templates.

Thanks

I don't think that the search function works from the checkout page. Look in Design|Options - Layouts tab and you will see which template is being used for cart and checkout. I use the same template for cart and checkout but the search box does not appear at all on the checkout page.

search works from my checkout pages on V6. I can't see why it wouldn't work on V7.

In general though, the business advice would be to avoid distracting functions once at the checkout stage. Once you have a customer who's started checking out the last thing you want to do is sidetrack him and give him the opportunity to change his mind.

Removing the message

Thanks. Whilst I'd like to be consistent and have the search box throughout I do see the logic in not having the search terms on the checkout page.

The problem I have is that I can't find the right template to adjust to remove the two gifs for search and go and the word Advanced. Setting the view cart layout and checkout pages layouts the same does not resolve it.

You can see the difference if on the home page you click the View Cart buttonon the left hand menu and then checkout also in that menu. Just can't figure out what I've done here.

Looks as though it may be hard coded into the primary template - go to Design | Options - Layouts tab and click the 'Edit' button alongside the Checkout Pages Layout.

look for this code

<table width="170" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="thinborder"><tr> <td width="170" height="59" background="" align="right"><img src="doctor_energy_search_120.gif"><A HREF="http://www.doctorenergy.co.uk/acatalog/search.html"><font color="black" size="2">Advanced</font></a>&nbsp;<br></td></tr><tr> <td height="25" background="cart_bg.gif"><font color="#ffffff" size="1">

just a line of two after the opening body tag.
