hobbzilla Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 Okay, I found it cumbersome in the checkout procedure to edit addresses contained in the address book. Perhaps an edit button the the left of the displayed "Address Book Entries" after clicking "Change Address" could be implemented? It is especially a pain in the rear if the customer has already filled up their Address Book with the maximum entries defined under admin->config.
Ajeh Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 I have one of those in my Quantity Controller add-on :) I may even have it in v5.1 ... otherwise it is in the new version 5.2 that is just about ready. NOTE: *just about ready* is a loose expression developed by programmers akin to yeah, yeah sure ... I will be done in a minute ... :roll:
hobbzilla Posted December 4, 2002 Author Posted December 4, 2002 Linda, I have already added the (edit) button next to each address in checkout_shipping_address.php. My only problem now is to send the user back to the checkout_shipping_address.php after address_book_process.php has been updated (or canceled or deleted). I know I could make yet another checkout_address_book_process.php page.. but why duplicate the same page twice?? is there some method in osc that allows you to pass a "return_page" or something like it?
Ajeh Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 Add a button on the address book page that only appears if there is something in the cart that says ... Check Out :shock:
hobbzilla Posted December 4, 2002 Author Posted December 4, 2002 Yes that could work.. but it is far from intuitive from my point of view... I don't want to have a customer bounced all over the place which could lead to a loss in a sale. I would rather have them edit their addresses and be promptly returned to the last page they were at. Sending them back to checkout would in reality send them right back to the delivery information page at checkout.. which would mean they would yet again have to select "Change Address" and then select the newly modified one and then continue.. too much clicking.
mattice Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 haven't looked at it but can't you just set the snapshot and tep_redirect with an additional parameter to the url that is actually the address_id just edited. If that parameter is there you use your new query (with latest id) if not you use the default query. sounds workable...

hobbzilla Posted December 4, 2002 Author Posted December 4, 2002 I haven't studied the new checkout procedure code thoroughly... I assume, Mattice, you are talking about adding a button to the address_book page as well? This still takes you out of the logical progression of what I am trying to accomplish. If I hit the edit address button (which I added) on the checkout_(shipping/billing)_address.php page, you go to the address_book_process.php?action=modify page. There is a continue button there.. I want that continue button to continue right back where the customer left off.. which would be the shipping/payment address change selection page. As a side note: One good thing about my interest in this... I have found and submitted 4 (yes you heard right) new bugs (*features*). See http://www.oscommerce.com/community.php/bu...s/action,search Look @ #'s 840,838,837,836 If it weren't for a misspell I would have had 4 in a row!! Would that be some sort of record? :)
