Inactive next-button or animation after checkout

Hi!

When clicking on the next button at checkout (at the moment we have only free products) it takes 5-10 secondes until the order has finished. Is it possible to make the next-button inactive after it has been clicked or to show a animation so the user knows the process is still going on?

Best regards

Hi,

That's an interesting idea.
Hiding the next button once clicked should be really easy. Go in the menu Display->Views and edit the file step of the view checkout and change the line:
echo $this->cart->displayButton(JText::_('NEXT'),'next',$this->params,hikashop::completeLink('checkout&task=step&step='.$this->step+1),'if(hikashopCheckChangeForm(\'order\',\'hikashop_checkout_form\'))document.forms[\'hikashop_checkout_form\'].submit(); return false;','id="hikashop_checkout_next_button"');

to:
echo $this->cart->displayButton(JText::_('NEXT'),'next',$this->params,hikashop::completeLink('checkout&task=step&step='.$this->step+1),'if(hikashopCheckChangeForm(\'order\',\'hikashop_checkout_form\'))document.forms[\'hikashop_checkout_form\'].submit(); document.getElementById(\'hikashop_checkout_next_button\').style.display=\'none\'; return false;','id="hikashop_checkout_next_button"');

This could be a bit confusing for customers when the button only disappears.

Then like this:
echo $this->cart->displayButton(JText::_('NEXT'),'next',$this->params,hikashop::completeLink('checkout&task=step&step='.$this->step+1),'if(hikashopCheckChangeForm(\'order\',\'hikashop_checkout_form\'))document.forms[\'hikashop_checkout_form\'].submit(); document.getElementById(\'hikashop_checkout_next_button\').disabled=true; return false;','id="hikashop_checkout_next_button"');
