Payment method as default

[salvador21]

When a customer gest to step 3 of ordering, they get the direction:

Please choose your payment method from those listed below.

However if there is only one payment method, it should not be necessary to select it, it should just be already selected.

This actually confuses customers who keep just clicking on the MAKE PAYMENT button, but of course nothing happens.

can anyone please help?

If there is only one payment method, it should be selected.

If there is only one payment method, it should be selected.

Exactly my point. It makes no sense to me that the customer has to work this out when there are no choices.

Do you know how I can make it do this ? (ie be selected by default)

Has your site been modified in any way?

Yes, but not very much.

Can you provide a URL so we can take a look?

I made a test order (which you can delete now), so I can see what is happening.

Open skins/YOUR_SKIN/styleTemplates/content/gateway.tpl and find this block of code

			<!-- BEGIN: gateways_true -->

			<tr>

				<td class="{TD_CART_CLASS}"><strong>{VAL_GATEWAY_DESC}</strong></td>

				<td width="50" align="right" class="{TD_CART_CLASS}">

				<input name="gateway" type="radio" value="{VAL_GATEWAY_FOLDER}" {VAL_CHECKED} />

				</td>

			</tr>

			<!-- END: gateways_true -->

If {VAL_CHECKED} is missing, enter it, as above. If it is present in the code block, let me know and I will give you another block of code to check.

Many thanks for checking.

The code is the same as yours (apart from <td width="50" align="center", which is not the issue)

{VAL_CHECKED} is there as in your example

[leeofaccy]

Open includes/content.gateway.inc.php and see if this block on your file, matches the following...

				if($gatewayModules[$i]['default'] == 1){

					$gateway->assign('VAL_CHECKED', 'checked="checked"');

				} else {

					$gateway->assign('VAL_CHECKED', '');

				}



				$gateway->parse('gateway.cart_true.choose_gate.gateways_true');

Yes, looks like it:

	



if($gatewayModules[$i]['default'] == 1){

					$gateway->assign('VAL_CHECKED', 'checked="checked"');

				} else {

					$gateway->assign('VAL_CHECKED', '');

				}



				$gateway->parse('gateway.cart_true.choose_gate.gateways_true');

Can you go to your payment module, in admin, and check whether Default is set to Yes. If it isn't, set it and try again to see if the button is 'checked' on the gateway page.

Lee

[salvador21]

It was set to "no" !

That could explain it, I'm just dashing out but will test later tonight or tomorrow, thanks.

Just made another test order and it's now checked

Do you know your Logout and Your Account links don't work?

Yes, all working now.

Thanks I didn't know those links weren't working, I can't find out what is wrong, odd that the links work for logging in but not logging out or account.

I can sort of fix it in that style by removing the (custom) div that contains them, but that div does nothing but positions the {SESSION} and colors the links. Weird.

Have gone back to my previous style now and all is well (I think), so thanks for pointing that out.
