Process to Checkout on Hikashop's Cart menu page

-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.fieldtestedgear.com/index.php
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.4
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.6
-- PHP version -- : 5.3.28

Hi there Nicolas and Team,

I have setup

www.fieldtestedgear.com/index.php/your-cart which is a Hikashop Cart Display page:
[ index.php?option=com_hikashop&view=cart&layout=showcart ]

and that page is pretty cool but NO Proceed to Checkout button??

I figure it's an option SOMEWHERE

Right now to fix the issue temporarily, I had to duplicate the 'Your Cart' module, assign it to only that page, turn it into the most minimalistic mini-cart and use CSS to hide the Total Line but that's not exactly 'pretty' or ideal

I also have Advanced Module Manager if that can be of help...

HELP and I want to do this without modifying the Hikashop Display Views if at all possible.

I think only way to add this button to cart view is edit "showcart" in Display->Views.

Hi Korzo,

Appreciate the message but I sure hope you're wrong

I'm trying to build sites in Hikashop with 0 View modifications to make upgrading future-proof or at least future-easier

Cheers,

Emmanuel.

Well, I'd say it's fairly simple without edition of views or "abusing and messing with" a cart module:

(EDITED to reflect the correct aliases!)

1. If you have not yet, you should create a (hidden) Joomla menu item for the checkout page e.g. with the alias "checkout".
2. In the Joomla module manager, create a new custom HTML module at a position where you want the button, e.g. below the main content, or in a sidebar like now.
3. By using the "Code Mirror" editor, create the content of the module like this:

<a class="uk-button uk-button-primary" href="checkout (or your alias/link to checkout page)">Proceed to Checkout</a>

Hi,

Korzo is right, there is no options to display the "Proceed to checkout" button so it will require some view edition.
You can edit the view "cart / showcart" via the menu Display > Views, this way when updating you will not loose anything.

Here is the code to add:

$itemid_for_checkout = (int)$this->config->get('checkout_itemid','0');
if(empty($itemid_for_checkout)){
	$menuClass = hikashop_get('class.menus');
	$itemid_for_checkout = $menuClass->getCheckoutMenuIdForURL();
}
if(!empty($itemid_for_checkout)){
	$url_checkout = hikashop_completeLink('checkout&Itemid='.$itemid_for_checkout);
}else{
	$url_checkout = hikashop_completeLink('checkout'.$url_itemid);
}
if($this->params->get('show_cart_proceed',1)) echo $this->cart->displayButton(JText::_('PROCEED_TO_CHECKOUT'),'checkout',$this->params,$url_checkout,'');

+1 to add this by default. It's confusing for visitors to see the cart without proceed to checkout button.

Hi Lousyfool,

In a good part because of your instructions/help, I made the site better so thank you!

Cheers,

Emmanuel.

Thank you for the code! Works great!
