Shipping and billing addresses

Add product to cart, go to checkout.
Use the same address as for billing is ticked.
Untick this.
Both shipping and billing addresses are the same.
Click edit on the shipping address.
Change shipping address.
Billing address changes and Use the same address as for billing is ticked.

Not unexpected to me - makes sense if the new button has not been clicked.
However, seems to confuse some people.
Anyway of improving how this works?
Thanks.

Ditto when a user deletes the shipping address the billing address gets deleted as well.

Both of those sound like a good idea. Thanks.

In the address view form.php is it possible to tell whether the address being shown/entered is a billing address or a shipping address?

Thanks.

Hi Nicolas,

Great that you are working on the improvements with the address issue. Waiting for that!

In the meantime, is it possible when the customer creates a new (shipping) address that it gets selected by default?
Now the customer has to manually select the new address which can be confusing for some people.

Kind regards,
Woes


P.s.
I have deleted the checkbox as described in a different topic, and also deleted the "delete" and "edit" icons.
This leaves the customer no choice but to add a new address, also added a comment in the "checkout / address.php " to make sure the customer understands he/she needs to create a new shipping address.

That's great news! You guys rock

Hi Nicolas,

Was very happy with the new update, immediately tried it out and uploaded the new package.
Upon creating or editing the address, a new address was made and also selected by default (on the shipping address side). The billing address was maintained. Yay!

However.. I proudly called my partner to show him the update, when we found out it didn't work anymore.
While it DID just a few minutes ago, very strange, haven't changed anything in the meantime.

Well, the NEW made address IS still selected, but for some reason it also gets selected for the billing address..


P.s. I do have custom changes in some views, but allready replaced my checkout / address_view with the one from the new 1.5.2 package to get the changes to work (after installing the new package).

We don't have that checkbox, have deleted it as described in a different topic problem occurs when editing or creating a new address in the right column (shipping address column)

Okay, i will place all original (1.5.2) files back and see what happens, will keep you updated!

Well, i have done that.. Now i have even weirder behaviour:

Unchecked the "use same address" box, Clicked the Edit address button, blank popup comes up..

Now trying to create a new shipping address.. popup displays correctly this time.
Filling in the shipping address, clicking OK.
Now the new address is created and selected on the BILLING address part, and the checkbox is checked again!

This is almost the same behaviour as described in the first post in this topic.. very strange..

Yes, that is www.fotoboeket.nl/bestellen

However since the shop is live and the ad campaign is running i had to (partly) restore the "changed" views so customers can still place orders. Not like it was before, but for the time being i guess it works..

Also the changes i have are not really that dramatic, i will provide you with the login credentials so you can check for yourself (i have only implemented the changes as discussed in my other threads)..
