Checkout steps

Virtuemart has support for showing steps in the checkout process. But when I enable it all I get is a little line of text at the top of the checkout which tell me on which step I am. It doesn´t seem like that part of the checkout process has been styled, therefore it is nearly invisible.

Could you please style it so it becomes a usefull feature? Actually in Sweden you have show steps in the checkout process by law.

This is how it looks for me now:

This is how it looks in another shop using Virtuemart (different theme), this is more what I am after:

Hi,

Please give me a link please then I will try to style it for you.

Link to the cart on my site:

In my test account which you have created before can you change the language to English then I can understand the pages to help?

Thanks,

I hope I changed the languge for the right account now!

Yes you did, I will check and update you soon.

Hi,

Can you also set the account to be a super admin and send me FTP access as well?

Thanks,

I have sent you a PM!

I have checked the layout file of that page and found out that we use the same layout like original one from Virtuemart to show checkout steps:

Code: Select all

<?php if (VmConfig::get('oncheckout_show_steps', 1) && $this->checkout_task==='confirm'){
      vmdebug('checkout_task',$this->checkout_task);
      echo '<div class="checkoutStep" id="checkoutStep4">'.JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_USER_FORM_CART_STEP4').'</div>';
   } ?>


If you change to default template you can see the same to confirm.

And what does that mean?

It means that that bar is designed to show only step name even with default template of VM, we use the same for our template.

It's hard to make it to look like what you showed because it requires more php code to customize the layout file which I can't assist you as it's going out of support scope, however I will speak to development team tomorrow to improve this as well.

Cheers,

Yes please do that, it is an important feature both becase it makes the shop more user friendly and it also makes it more legal.

I will keep you updated.

Cheers,

Any news?

I think it's important


Thanks !!!
