At checkout, people get redirected to the advanced search page

[grunionfab]

So when you are on the shipping/cc info page and click continue it redirects you to the Advances search page. It was doign the same thing when you selected anything from the manufacturers box and the submit link button. I dont know what I did to mess it up but it must have stopped working around the beginning of the month because i have not gotten any orders since then.... (i was wondering what was oging on....) I think since then I have added

Links Manager and have messed with the AJAX attribute sorter.....

 

Please help, i really dont know what i did wrong!

On that page you have two opening form tags (one for the search in the header and one for the order) but there is only one closing form tag. From what I've seen, it's missing in the search infobox in your header.

 

Another important thing to fix is your create_account2.php. I tried to get through with a standard testing address but it kept on giving me errors about fields not containing enough characters. I tried with a tick in the "use billing for shipping address" but I got stuck there. Only when I entered the same address into the the shipping section, I could continue.

thanks for looking, i was just trying the create_account1.php page, I usually use creat_account1.php which i just changed back to. You can try it now and that page should work at least. I will try to fix what you said about the tags.

Replace this:

with this:

you are WONDERFUL! Thank you so much for taking the time to help! I Really appreciate it!

[abra123cadabra]

Only, that this fixes the checkout pages but will break the normal catalog pages.

 

Try what happens if you remove this condition in your header:

//
// START  advanced search header  script insertion
//
//
?>
     <?php

if ( (!strstr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],'checkout.php')) and (!strstr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],'create_account.php')) and (!strstr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],'shopping_cart.php')) and (!strstr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],'advanced_search.php')) and !tep_session_is_registered('customer_id') )  {
?></td>
</tr>
</table>
</table>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php } ?>
<?php 
//
// END advanced search header script insertion
//
//
?>

 

Is this a template you are using? The whole file has lots of nesting errors that you should fix to make sure that most browsers render your pages more or less as intended.

[grunionfab]

What does that condition do? No i am not using a template.

[abra123cadabra]

That condition seems to be part of an attempt to hide the search box while on the checkout pages. What it does is, that while not on the checkout pages, it adds the missing closing form tag plus a lot of other tags which I couldn't figure out where they belong to.

 

So unless you want to hide the search during checkout, just remove the whole part quoted in my previous post. With the change that fixed the original problem, this condition is not necessary and would add not needed tags.

Thank you, I removed it and dont really care if it is there during checkout.... Thanks

*lol* Glad I could help.
