I want to change the sort order of billing cycle choices

[peeta]

I want to change the billing cycle sort order to descending:

Bi-annual

Annual

Semi-Annual

Quarterly

Monthly

 

Does anyone have a code to do this?

[juiced]

Not that i can find. Maybe making a new order form?

This image shows what I want to achieve. I want the 24 month subscription to be default selection.

[othellotech]

chnage the order of the for loop in the tpl ?

[sparky]

As othellotech said change the order in the tpl

 

The template to edit is configureproduct.tpl lines 32-36

[peeta]

sparky, thanks for the suggestion but I don't have a file called configureproduct.tpl. Please let me know where that file should be.

 

I got it done based on the suggestion though and so far it seems to be working ok. I use th 'boxes' order theme so I edited order-stepthree.tpl (which had no for loop for the billing cycle) lines 28 - 32 and re-ordered the options as below

 

{if $pricing.biennially}<option value="biennially"{if $billingcycle eq "biennially"} selected="selected"{/if}>{$pricing.biennially}</option>{/if}
{if $pricing.annually}<option value="annually"{if $billingcycle eq "annually"} selected="selected"{/if}>{$pricing.annually}</option>{/if}
{if $pricing.semiannually}<option value="semiannually"{if $billingcycle eq "semiannually"} selected="selected"{/if}>{$pricing.semiannually}</option>{/if}
{if $pricing.quarterly}<option value="quarterly"{if $billingcycle eq "quarterly"} selected="selected"{/if}>{$pricing.quarterly}</option>{/if}
{if $pricing.monthly}<option value="monthly"{if $billingcycle eq "monthly"} selected="selected"{/if}>{$pricing.monthly}</option>{/if}

 

As stated, it seems to be working fine but if it is going to cause any other problem please let me know.

Looks like you are using the order.php script and not the cart script.

 

Glad you got it sorted.

 

FYI the configureproduct.tpl is for the cart script and is located in /templates/orderforms/cart

but the issue nobody can seem to sort out is how to get the biannual/annual to be the default selected cycle.

 

seems like it hard coded to have the monthly billing cycle selected and changing the order of the cycles means nothing unless you have the annual/biannual as the default cycle

[serjo]

has anyone figured how to set the default billing cycle? I can change the order ok - but monthly cycle is still selected as default

[neobug103]

Matt has informed me that it is possible to pass the billing cycle in the direct order link to automatically select a value other than monthly.

Very sorry to open up this old thread but needs must....

 

Matt has informed me that it is possible to pass the billing cycle in the direct order link to automatically select a value other than monthly.

 

I have been searching for a few days now for a method of setting the default 'selected' option for billing cycles. I want to have Annual be selected by deafault but it always defaults to the lower cycles like quarterly.

 

I know you can link directly to a product and pass the billingcycle parameter, but if visitors go straight to the list of products at whmcs_install_url/cart.php then i can't figure out how to pass any parameters from that page to set the default cycle.

 

Someone must know how to do this by now?

 

Thanks very much for any useful help or suggestions.

I have almost cracked it on the 'cart' order template configureproduct.tpl:

 

<select name="billingcycle" onchange="submit()">

{if $pricing.annually}<option value="annually"{if $billingcycle eq "annually"} selected="selected"{/if}>{$pricing.annually}</option>{/if}

{if $pricing.semiannually}<option value="semiannually"{if $billingcycle eq "semiannually"} selected="selected"{/if}>{$pricing.semiannually}</option>{/if}

{if $pricing.quarterly}<option value="quarterly">{$pricing.quarterly}</option>{/if}

{if $pricing.monthly}<option value="monthly"{if $billingcycle eq "monthly"} selected="selected"{/if}>{$pricing.monthly}</option>{/if}

{if $pricing.biennially}<option value="biennially"{if $billingcycle eq "biennially"} selected="selected"{/if}>{$pricing.biennially}</option>{/if}

</select>

 

The remaining problems are that you cannot pass the 'quarterly' billing cycle to the product any more (if you needed to), and also when the 'Update Cart' button is clicked, the first time it brings the page back unchanged, then a second click on 'Update Cart' successfully passes on to the cart view page with the price break down etc correctly showing.

 

EDIT:

I just noticed that now (using the above changes) when the selection is changed using the drop-down menu, it immediately redirects to the checkout page...which is no good at all.

 

Many thanks.

Just FYI in case it helps anyone, the answer is to edit /templates/orderforms/web20cart/products.tpl and find

 

<td width="20%" align="center" valign="middle"><input type="button" value="{$LANG.ordernowbutton}"{if $product.qty eq "0"} disabled{/if} onclick="window.location='{$smarty.server.PHP_SELF}?a=add&pid={$product.pid}'" /></td>

 

and add to the url:

 

<td width="20%" align="center" valign="middle"><input type="button" value="{$LANG.ordernowbutton}"{if $product.qty eq "0"} disabled{/if} onclick="window.location='{$smarty.server.PHP_SELF}?a=add&pid={$product.pid}&billingcycle=annually'" /></td>

 

So you don't need to change configureproduct.tpl at all for this.

 

Peace
