Child Cart issues with checkout.tpl

[zomex]

Hello,

I'm testing the child template functionality with the cart.

All files are working for me as a child cart apart from checkout.tpl. For some reason the file duplicated within my child cart template is being ignored and the parent cart (Standard Cart) copy is being used.

Is anyone else able to replicate this?

Thanks.

Well this is weird.

I was having the same issue a few days ago and i thought it was something bad going on from my end.

 

Looking for a solution to this aswell for myself.

Cheers

Hi @zomex,

Did you set your child theme as the default order form template in Configuration > General Settings > Ordering tab?

That setting will take precedence over a child theme specified at the product group level.

 

Do you encounter this same behaviour in v8.0 or earlier, or only in v8.1?

No it isn't set as the active template in the general settings.

The default cart is Standard Cart, all products are set to use the default.

Then I am loading the child theme using the browser variable carttpl=

It appears to effect checkout.tpl only, all other files I have tested work correctly within the child theme.

I didn't test the child theme prior to v8.1 as I created and used a fully customized version of Standard Cart.

Thanks.

@WHMCS John when can we expect to see a patch for this?

Hi @zomex,

Please also copy the viewcart.tpl template into your child order form template.

In order to have a custom checkout.tpl, you must bring over the viewcart.tpl as well due to the inclusion of this template within it.

This has always been the case with child order form templates.

Thanks, at least I can proceed now.

With that said it's a real shame that includes are not handled in the same way as assets. I have not needed to make any edits to viewcart.tpl, now I need keep a copy in order to handle checkout.tpl. This is still something that should be changed as the solution is a workaround more than anything.

For example I needed to edit linkedaccounts.tpl of my custom cart, instead of just duplicating the file and editing it without my cart I also need to edit the include path within checkout.tpl.

Would be great to see includes handled the same as assets and check whether the file exists within the child theme.

Wow, wow, wow ... still not fixed in 8.1.1
