Modify Information on Checkout Page

Thread began 2/11/2010 2:13 pm by jenbar3378469 | Last modified 8/31/2010 1:31 pm by Jason Byrnes | 3259 views | 17 replies |

Modify Information on Checkout Page

When clicking on Modify Information on the confirm page, it redirects back to the checkout page, which is good, but none of the data is held. The user has to retype everything. Please advise how to fix this.

Thanks!

the confirm page stores the usrs info in session variables, bind the initial value fro each form element to the corresponding session variable.


Select the Form element, in the property inspector, Click the lightning bolt next to Initial Value, expand the session collection and select the corresponding variable.

Don't mean to be a pain and I know it has been some time, but from within the "Checkout" page I selected each form field, click on lighting bold and expanded the "ecart checkout form" sessions and selected the appropriate one" am I doing something wrong?

It is still not working.

you may need to add this code at line 1

php:
<?php if(!session_id()) session_start(); ?>

Hi Jason, Unfortunately that did not solve the problem.

I am binding these form fields from the checkout page, correct?

I then open up the ecart_checkout_form and bind it to the appropriate sessions, correct?

Please advise and thank you!!

Attached are my confirm.php and checkout.php pages.
If you still have my info from our open ticket and phone conversation yesterday, you can log into the site to see the actual issue.

Note: I have my checkout.php page so that it auto-populates the first 3 fields on the form: First Name, Last Name and email address.

Please let me know if the attachments do not come through. Thanks.

You are binding the form elements to the POST, not the session.


In the bindings panel expand the session collection to find the correct variables to bind to.

Hi Jason, but if you look at the code of those pages, there aren't any sessions created from the checkout form. When I expand the sessions in the bindings panel, they just don't exist. Do I need to create them? Thanks!

if they dont exist, then yoes, you need to create them


on the confirm page, go to the server behaviors list.

Click the plus button and select Set Session value.

Set the trigger to any form post.
Set the name to the name of the form element
Click the lightning bolt next to value and select the coresponding form element

do this for each one.
