Terms & Conditions Part 2

[Darren B]

Hi All

Can anyone help me resolve this issue. I have tried to use the set up in the AUG for changing the "moving in 1 month" to "have you read our terms and conditions". But all to no avail.

On the web site it appears ok, people tick the box, it prints out on the data entry reports that they have ticked it, but if someone does not tick this box it still allows the order to go through.

Now i have looked at the old thread and Chris's suggestion is different to the one in the AUG. So which way do i go

If anyone else has any suggestions then please feel free to put pen to paper or fingers to keys

Cheers
Darren :confused:

There are two solutions I am aware of - both of which I have got to work.

The one in the knowledge base HERE (http://knowledge.actinic.com/users/kadmin/acatalog/v6_Cart_Checkout_Layout.html#aCD382) uses a 'Required' checkbox to detect whether the box has been ticked or not. This gets validated by the Perl - and an Actinic error message is generated. The advantage of this is that you can do it all in 'Design | Text' with no template changes.

The one in the AUG is more sophisticated, using JavaScript to validate the box when you click the 'Next' button.

If you are having trouble with the latter one, perhaps I could see a URL.

Wait a sec... the AUG one is not working :o (it was - honest).

I'll get it fixed.

At least i know it's not me getting stuck with the wood from the trees.

If some has got it to work could they past there script here, it might save chris a bit of time

Cheers

Right - here is what stopped mine from working.

1) Make sure the ValidatePage javascript function is in the Overall Layout template that you are using for the checkout. (that was my first mistake).

2) Check whether there are any other <form> tags before the main form containing the checkout fields. This might be a simple search bar or a javascript drop-list. If there are, then adjust the [0] in the ValidatePage command to either [1] or [2] depending on how many forms there are before the main form.

3) Make sure the 'Next >' button really does say

onClick="return (ValidatePage());"

Ahha it works, I had to set mine to 1! Now in the download of order all will have the "moving" ticked. Any way around this?

Just about to try chris suggestion but are you talking about the text on you print outs.

If so you can change this under Desgin | Text | Order processing reports, and change all the ones you use Picking list ID 411 Invoice ID 802 Data Entry ID 705

Hope this is what you are looking for

Cheers

Thanks. Just what I wanted. Too much work, too little brain.

Thanks Chris

Cheers

Your telling me, I have had the biggest crash course of my life over the last twelve months and im still learning.

and to top it all we've got a new catalogue coming out in the next week and muggins here has got to do all the updates. So i needed to get this fixed by friday. I can not upload any price changes and new products until the catalogue release date, which means no tweeking of the site for a week.

If i can offer any assistance in the future i will try

Cheers
Darren :cool:

When an order is created and dowloaded, you can open it up to see everything. However under customer it still says moving ticked. I can't find any "moving" under the text options. Can this be changed. All the reports are ok now.

[Darren B]

Had not noticed that one!

Will have a look for it but my guess is it can not be readly changed

Cheers

How about a checkbox as a standard feature on a future release? Highly useful for those who have to confirm they have attempted to verify their customers are over 18...

One for the wish-list.....
