So..I just updated to 7.1.7 and have been working on the new cart changes.

Is there any help for the new Payment Steps part? On the 2nd cart page - mine just shows 2/3 with no text, shouldn't it say Billing/Shipping or something?... 3/3 has text.

The cross sell Quick Buy/Get Details buttons are now this blue/light blue color... They are blue on all the pages now, not just the cart. I can't find the original colors, but it was a green, I think. Any idea where to look? They have to be in a stylesheet somehere. Argh! I can't find it..

Hmmm..okay, so I figured out the quickbuy button colors but I really need to change them to something less distracting. Not liking the brown/dkblue. If I go with black text, then I can do some softer lighter colors there. On the to do list.

I still can't find a way to add some text to Step 2 of the checkout...

Hi Julie

Since version 6.3 it's been possible to show the checkout steps above each of the cart screens. It requires the following addition to vsadmin/includes.asp

$xxCoStp1='Step 1 of 3 : Proceed to confirm your address details';
$xxCstDtl='Step 2 of 3 : Check your address, enter any special instructions, select method of payment';
$xxChkCmp='Final Step 3 of 3 : Summary of your order';

You may also format the checkout steps using css, for example;
.checkoutsteps{text-align:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:500;padding:7px 0px 7px 0px;margin-bottom:8px;border:2px#00C051 solid;background-color:#CCEB9F;color:#666;}

Also, since version 6.4.4, you can also change the default checkout button text. To change the text that appears on the checkout button you can use the following

xxCOTxt="Checkout"

You may also have different text on the button at different stages of checkout...

xxCOTxt2="Checkout Step 2"
xxCOTxt3="Checkout Step 3"

The checkout buttons also have the class "checkoutbutton" for the first, second and third checkout steps, the classes are input.checkoutbutton1, input.checkoutbutton2 and input.checkoutbutton3 respectively. If you want to use the same class for each just use input.checkoutbutton.

Thanks Steve - But I was referring to the new payment steps/dropdowns...

Maybe a screenshot will help. :)

Hey Vince!

Is it supposed to maybe say Customer's Details?

Hi Julie, yes there should be some text there.
A few things...
Try a hard refresh. You might even need to clear your browser history with some browsers.
Check the dates of the files on the server to be sure they were all uploaded.
Next, be sure you have the latest ectcart.js and ectcart.css files in place.

As for the buttons, there is a new class that is for all buttons on the entire site - make it easier or consistent styling.

New class "ectbutton" for buttons
A new class has been added for all buttons on your site, ectbutton making it easier to provide a consistent theme for buttons throughout your site. A smart default style has been set for these buttons which you can override in the cart style sheet if required to match your site style.
To change the default button style, add the following to your site style sheet using your preferred background and text color. (You should not edit the ectcart.css file as that makes it harder to update in the future.)
input.ectbutton,button.ectbutton{
background:#006ABA;
color:#FFF;
}

Hey David!

Yep, did the hard refresh and the 2 files were uploaded. I actually did a full update, uploaded all the files this time. Do you by any chance know what files would be involved in the cart steps?

I just checked and it shows all files have today's date...

I remember when that "Shopping Cart" dropdown was first introduced and I had turned it off. Not sure what I did, hopefully I can find an old post. But it shows now & I made a new ectcartcustom.css file from the new one, so my old changes wouldn't be in effect, anyway.

I'm a bit stumped, to be honest.

OMG!

I am such a dork! It did have to do with hiding that Shopping Cart dropdown!

The culprit was in the includes - I had removed the text from xxCstDtl="".

Yay! Problem solved! :)

Hi Julie,

Apologies for that, I misread & thought it was Checkout Steps.

Good to see that you are sorted
