tdavlin Template

[chris.tikkos@.....com]

Hi Stan,

We are currently testing the tdavlin template; we like it very much, it looks great and could be the best template for OPC, however we'd appreciate some adjustments to make it look 100% perfect for our website: www.quality-tuning.com

1. The products thumbnails in the cart are very big, could we adjust their size? We'd like them same as our cart module on the left column of the webpage.

2. Most children products don't have a specific product image. In this case, when a child product is added to the cart, the image of its parent product should be used instead. (Pls check our cart module on the left column of the page)

3. When we click the 'edit cart', the "Update Quantity" and "Delete Product" images are not shown!

4. We need the "3.Shipping Information" module to be moved to the 2nd column above the "4. Select Payment". Is it possible? Now the 1st column look very long and the 2nd column very short!

5. We cannot translate the following fields: (they are not available in the OPC Labels Tab):

edit cart,
Product subtotal,
Show Login,
Guest Checkout
SHIP TO INFORMATION,
Default address,
SELECT PAYMENT
CHECK OUT

Thank you in advance for your assistance to make this template perfect!

Regards,
Chris

Hello Chris,
this version will need a few tuning at the moment as it is being implemented at the customer who ordered it.

This is the specification of the tdavlin template
Recommended OPC settings
- use inbuilt basket
- ADVANCED_PAYMENT
- use own shipping templates
- override listUserFields
- double email field for silent registration (OPC extension)

Known issues
- payment template improper ending div when using CC payments (fixed in 276)
- payments with no html set in OPC don't get proper class in html (fixed in 276)
- Itemid improper override in unlogged template (fixed in 276)
- additional CSS changes in 276
- Product subtotal is counted with not rounded product subtotals, therefore does not show proper value if you are using "show prices including tax" (can be fixed by uncomenting proper linex in basket.html.php)
- language strings hard written in the template files (will be fixed later on)
- img height, left and right column of the basket can be set up in basket.html.php file

General Issues in 275
Tax rate of 6.5% is rounded to 0 decimals - fixed in 276

Best Regards,
Stan

Thanks for your prompt reply and assistance!

Another issue we noted is the following: when a customer makes an order and selects default shipping address, at the SHIP TO information passed to virtuemart/Paypal, the country is not the customer's country but the shop's default country (Cyprus)! This is causing serious issues because it charges also all our non EU customers with tax, could you take a look pls?

Chris

Thanks Chris for excellent testing. I believe i fixed all the issues in 276 version.

Hi Stan,

We confirm that the issue is fixed in the 276 version, thanks for your fast rectification!

We need also your advice to achieve the following with this template:

- We need to hide all various cost info (discount, tax, etc...) from the built-in basket except 'Product Subtotal'. How can we do that? A configuration option would be also nice if possible.

- For unlogged users, section 3 (shipping) needs to be moved to 2nd column above section 4 (payment), how can we do that?

- As discussed, also the ability to show parent image in basket for children products that do not have an image will be fantastic!

We also look forward to the update of language translation of all the hardcoded strings!

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Stan,

We also noted that in the latest 276 version the "Advanced default ship to country" functionality is broken, could you check this?

Thanks!
Chris

Hello Chris,
i will check it. Most probably it is due to new feature: use inbuilt shipping templates - are you using this?

What it does (inbuilt shipping templates)

If you have various shipping methods such as flex + standard + UPS + Fedex, they all use own function for printing it's html code which is usually not formatted nicely. When using inbuilt shipping templates my component gets it's shipping array for selected address and then prints html for all of them together so they are formatted as one group.

Hi Stan,

Thanks for the information; no, we are not using the inbuilt shipping templates functionality.

Thanks,

Hello Chris,
this was a bug in tdavlin template as it loaded new instance of onepage config, but did not check for joomfish country override. Now this is fixed in v.277 and there will be additional changes later, so this feature is template independend.

Kind Regards,
Stan

Hi Stan,

Thanks for your fix! We noted though that the template still has hardcoded strings inside for example:

edit cart,
Product subtotal,
Show Login,
Guest Checkout
Default address,
SELECT PAYMENT
CHECK OUT

Rgrds,
Chris
