Straight to the checkout after adding to cart

[tjobbe]

Hi everyone.

I have page 44 of the advanced users guide open in front of me and I am trying to make it so that when users add items to the cart, or when they checkout, they have the option to login using their existing details, rather than having to re-register every time.

I'm using this with sage and sagelink, and at the moment it is adding a new user for everytime an existing client signs up.

I have followed the instructions, but I do have some questions.

The phrases "checkout Now" and "start" have to be the same text as defined in "design > text > go to etc ..." and I don't know how to find those bits!! How do I check this?

I have multiple categories, am I only supposed to add this custom property to the category or to all the sub categories and products?

How do I get this working? if it's this simple, why can't I do it?

Hi everyone.

So what you need to do is click on the Design menu then click "Text...". Click on the "Go to" button at the bottom left and enter in a Phase of -1 and an ID 184. Click OK and it will take you to your current prompt. By default it’s "Checkout Now". So you need to make sure the example in the AUG:

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="ACTION" VALUE="Checkout Now">

is the same as you have in your prompt.

Do the same with of Phase -1 and an ID 113.

I have multiple categories, am I only supposed to add this custom property to the category or to all the sub categories and products?

I just applied this patch and adding the property to the top level section only worked for me. Just make sure your products are using a single add to cart button.
