extra message on ordering page ?

[rob2]

Hi,

 

because i sell many difference products via whmcs,

 

i have TOS link already,

 

but i still hope to show some important message on ordering/checkout page,

 

had better i can set different important message for different product or product Group,

 

is it possible ?

it's possible, but how will depend on which order-form template you're using, where you want to display the message and when.

 

as an example, if you were using standard_cart, you could modify the viewcart.tpl template to do this...

 

 

all i've done is added a new tab, then it loops through the products in the cart and displays a specific message for each product (currently based on product group - but you could do it by groups or individual products or domains etc).

 

                       <div class="view-cart-tabs">
                           <ul class="nav nav-tabs" role="tablist">
                               <li role="presentation" class="active"><a href="#furtherInfo" aria-controls="furtherInfo" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">{$LANG.information}</a></li>
                               <li role="presentation"><a href="#applyPromo" aria-controls="applyPromo" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">{$LANG.orderForm.applyPromoCode}</a></li>
                               {if $taxenabled && !$loggedin}
                                   <li role="presentation"><a href="#calcTaxes" aria-controls="calcTaxes" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">{$LANG.orderForm.estimateTaxes}</a></li>
                               {/if}
                           </ul>

                           <div class="tab-content">
                               <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane active promo" id="furtherInfo">
                                   <div class="nav-tabs">
                                       {foreach $products as $num => $product}
                                       {if $product.productinfo.gid eq "10"}Congratulations, you have ordered from the {$product.productinfo.groupname} group - please remember to pay the invoice!<br /><br />
                                       {elseif $product.productinfo.gid eq "9"}You've ordered {$product.productinfo.name} - check the configuation is correct.<br /><br />{/if}
                                       {/foreach}
                                   </div>
                               </div>

bear in mind that this is just a very basic example - so it doesn't currently check for multiple products from the same group (so you might get duplicate messages); it doesn't check for domains (it can do - it's just another loop to add); it doesn't output in the customer's language (but you can fix that by using Language Overrides)... it can easily be made more powerful, it's just a case of working out the logic and appropriate text to show.

 

if you're using an order-form template other than standard_cart, then there might be other/better ways to do it - but this should be a good starting point for you.
