Hi,

In the easycheckout form, the fields that must be filled in are marked with a red asterisk. However, the message ‘Required field’ additionally appears as soon as a selection is made in the country and region drop-down menu. This is a bit of a nuisance, as we have positioned these two drop-down menus at the top of the form to immediately display the shipping costs and payment terms, which vary from country to country.

Is it possible to disable the display of ‘Required field’ (it appears anyway when the form is submitted if required fields have not been filled in) or assign it to a different field?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Peter

Hi Olivier,

Thank you for your reply. Perhaps you could also resolve the following issue and include it in the next update of EasyCheckout:
If the delivery address differs from the billing address, the taxes should be calculated based on the delivery address, whilst the payment methods should be based on the billing address. This works when creating a new customer, but not for existing customers. Example: a customer from abroad has goods delivered to an address in Germany. Thus, German VAT should be shown during checkout, but only the payment method defined for international transactions should be offered. This works perfectly in the standard checkout, but in EasyCheckout, the payment methods (for existing customers) are assigned exclusively to the delivery address.

Regards
Peter

Hi OLivier,

We have installed version 4.1.2, and now the following error message appears:
Warning: Undefined property: EasyCheckoutViewCheckout::$address in ... /components/com_easycheckout/controllers/checkouts.php on line 529

Furthermore, the billing address is now the sole determining factor for tax calculation and payment methods. However, we have specified in the configuration settings that tax calculation is determined by the delivery address and payment methods by the billing address (as mentioned, this works perfectly with the standard checkout).

As specified in the configuration, we do not wish to offer our customers the option to order as a guest. Nevertheless, the address form still asks whether an account should be created.

Regards,
Peter

 

Update:
We have set the order summary to 'next page'. Would it be possible to display the billing and delivery addresses on this page alongside the item and payment details? That would make for a complete set of order details.

Hi Olivier,

On the test page I have reactivated EasyCheckout, version 4.1.2.

Your changes do not seem to be taking effect:

1. The error message mentioned before still appears when logging into an existing account.

2. Now, the billing address is the only reference used – not just for the payment method, but also for tax and shipping costs (note: this only applies to existing customers; when creating a new customer, it works perfectly).

3. The "required field" message no longer pops up, but the required fields are also no longer marked with a red asterisk.

Where can I enter credentials here?

Regards,
Peter

Hi Olivier,

I should have guessed :-)

Do you want to try it on the test site first, or shall I send you the login details for the live site?

Peter

Hi Olivier,

1. A new error message apears now:

Warning: Undefined property: EasyCheckoutViewCheckout::$shipping_method_form in /var/www/vhosts ... ... /components/com_easycheckout/views/checkout/tmpl/default_shipping_payment.php on line 44   2. The "required field" message no longer pops up, but the required fields are also no longer marked with a red asterisk.   3. Shipping costs and tax are now assigned to the billing address – but should be assigned to the delivery address     - Payment methods are assigned to the billing address – great - The 'Guest' option has been removed – great

By the way, on the test site you can change all the settings, if necessary.     Regards

Hi Olivier,

Yes, it’s working now – in principle! The only catch is that when you select an existing delivery address, the page doesn’t reload automatically; you have to refresh it manually. When you select a billing address, the page reloads automatically.

By the way, the scroll function at the end of the ordering process is brilliant!

Best regards,
Peter

 

Hi Olivier,

Everything's working perfectly now! A thousand thanks for your brilliant help!

How do I get the latest version of easycheckout now?

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Olivier,

I can't find an update anywhere – have I missed something?

Have a lovely weekend!
Peter
