A snippet I found a couple of years ago,

Default payment method

in catalog/checkout_payment.php replace

<td colspan="2"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<?php
if ( ($selection[$i]['id'] == $payment) || ($n == 1) ) {
echo ' <tr id="defaultSelected" class="moduleRowSelected" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="selectRowEffect(this, ' . $radio_buttons . ')">' . "\n";
} else {
echo ' <tr class="moduleRow" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="selectRowEffect(this, ' . $radio_buttons . ')">' . "\n";
}
?>
<td width="10"><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '10', '1'); ?></td>
<td class="main" colspan="3"><b><?php echo $selection[$i]['module']; ?></b></td>
<td class="main" align="right">
<?php

with

<td colspan="2"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<?php
if ( ($selection[$i]['id'] == $payment) || ($n == 1) ) {
echo ' <tr id="defaultSelected" class="moduleRowSelected" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="selectRowEffect(this, ' . $radio_buttons . ')">' . "\n";
// Start Setting a default payment
} else {

if ( (!$payment) && ($i==0) ) {

echo ' <tr id="defaultSelected" class="moduleRowSelected" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="selectRowEffect(this, ' . $radio_buttons . ')">' . "\n";
// End Setting a default payment
} else {
echo ' <tr class="moduleRow" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="selectRowEffect(this, ' . $radio_buttons . ')">' . "\n";
} // Setting a default payment
}
?>

It doesn't look quite right and I think it should have this on the end but I have not tested it

<td width="10"><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '10', '1'); ?></td>
<td class="main" colspan="3"><b><?php echo $selection[$i]['module']; ?></b></td>
<td class="main" align="right">

Search for

And make the changes there.

hi, thanks for the reply but no luck, it didn't work with or without this code on the end.

<td width="10"><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '10', '1'); ?></td>
<td class="main" colspan="3"><b><?php echo $selection[$i]['module']; ?></b></td>

For a radio button selection, I would think that if there is only one choice available, that it should be preselected and made read-only, so the customer can't deselect it.

Basic radio button:

<input type="radio" name="field_name" value="val_to_return" />label

To make preselected, add selected="selected".

To make read-only, add readonly="readonly".

The osC code which outputs radio buttons ought to do this when there is only one choice. Does it? If there are multiple choices, ideally one should be preselected (that's how radio buttons are supposed to work in a User Interface: at all times, one and only one is selected).

hi thanks for your answer,

yes there is only one payment choice on our site "sagepay credit/debit cards"

but it does not select it automatic you have to select the redio button

could you take a look at my code above and see how this can be solved and post the code for me please as i have very little knowledge with php

So what's going on here?

                    <td class="main" align="left">


                                       <?php echo tep_draw_radio_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id'],($selection[$i]['id'] == $payment)); ?>
<?php /*
   if (sizeof($selection) > 1) {
     echo tep_draw_radio_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id'], $i==0);
   } else {
     echo tep_draw_hidden_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id']);
   }*/
?>
                   </td>

You've commented out the section which hides the payment selection (hidden field) if there's only one choice, and inserted code ahead of that which draws the (in this case, only) choice as a radio button. Presumably, the code ($selection[$i]['id'] == $payment) is supposed to be setting "true" if it's the only selection available, but I don't see $payment being set anywhere!

Try this:

                    <td class="main" align="left">

<?php
   if (sizeof($selection) > 1) {
// multiple choices, first one ($i is 0) is preselected
     echo tep_draw_radio_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id'], $i==0);
   } else {
// only one choice: show the radio button, but preselected and don't let the user change it
//    echo tep_draw_hidden_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id']);
     echo tep_draw_radio_field('payment', $selection[$i]['id'], true, 'readonly="readonly"');
   }
?>
                   </td>

if you want to display the only payment choice, as pre-selected and unchangeable by the user.

Note that the third parameter "true" will apparently just give you CHECKED in the resulting HTML. You may have to change includes/functions/html_output.php's definition for function tep_draw_selection_field from

      $selection .= ' CHECKED';

to

      $selection .= ' checked="checked"';

for XHTML compatibility.
