Changing Address Information order

-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.inkacollective.com/testing/consilium/
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.1

-- PHP version -- : 5.x

Is it possible to change the registration page the at checkout the address they enter first is the shipping address, then they can later choose whether to use the same address for billing?

Would this be something that would have to be done in code?

Thanks.

Just tried changing the language file in the overrides section, could you please specify the variables that need to be changed. The only ones I could find where

SAME_AS_BILLING="Use the same address as for shipping"
HIKASHOP_BILLING_ADDRESS="Shipping address"
HIKASHOP_SHIPPING_ADDRESS="Billing address"

Hi,

Indeed, the shipping address will be used for the billing and vice-versa.
So it will require code override to feet all your needs.

I am not sure what is going on with my Hikashop installation. Not even the language overrides are working.

When I turn debug languages on I get a 404 error for all pages, do I have to turn of sh404sef plugin to get the errors to work?

I am still having issues with this. I even tried deleting all of the overrides and I still do not get any text accompanyed with completed orders when I use certain checkouts. For example, I had a payment method set as "Check on Delivery" However, I changed the title of this payment method in the back-end so it displays as "Quote..." when I check out the text associated with this payment method in the language file does not appear on the invoice. I finally got language debugging to work, I guess by deleting the overrides and receive the following errors:

JROOT/language/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_jm_consilium.ini : error(s) in line(s) 0, 3, 22, 28, 31, 43, 49, 84, 101, 110, 117, 130, 145
JROOT/language/en-GB/en-GB.mod_jm_pagetitle.ini : error(s) in line(s) 0

Is en-GB.tpl_jm_consilium.ini the language file we edit in Configuration->languages?

As mentioned changing the language text to swop over billing / shipping text will cause development/maintenance confusion as the meaning of shipping / billing in the code and raw HTML is swapped!

Also is the billing address sometimes sent to payment / credit companies?
If the text is swopped over they will get the shipping address instead.

Would this be a solution?

(a) In view override change the text for the customer registration address to say 'Delivery / Shipping Address'.
In our case this can be hard-coded - no need to change the language files.

Looks like this affects the following view files:
user/registration.php
user/registration_bootstrap.php

(b) In view override exchange the address fields so 'Delivery / Shipping Address' is on the left and always shown.
The 'same as' tickbox will be on the right side along with the 'Customer / Billing Address' - if needed/different.

Looks like this affects the following view files:
checkout/address.php
checkout/address_view.php
checkout/address_select.php

See any problems with that?

Ideally would like it built in as a core Hikashop feature so registration address becomes the shipping address.
Yet another configurable option in System/Configuration ??
