Hello Nicolas,

Please tell me how to do this: i setted "Cash on delivery" as default payment method. I also have Check as payment method.

I found that when user ticked the Check method, if he forgot to add address and try to send order, the payment method is reset to default (cash on delivery). A warning message about adding address is visible, but nothing about payment method which was reset.

It is possible to notify user that he should verify selected payment method or to do something to keep user selected payment choice?

Thank you

The payment method is only reseted once the address is entered (because the system needs to filter the payments by zone) and not when the the address is found missing by the system.

ok, how can i notify user about this change? Many of them first change payment method, then add the address..at the end instead of check payment they have cash on delivery..

Why no simply separate the checkout in two steps:
first the login part, and second the rest of the checkout.

You can always add your message but that change will be removed when you update Hikashop so you will have to reapply it...
It's in the file components/com_hikashop/controllers/checkout.php, in the function after_address, after the line: $this->cart_update=true;

Ok, I see. So your users will always click on new to create a new address when they don't already have one.
I'm not sure about adding an option for this... We already have way too many options in HikaShop and that doesn't sound like something other users would need.
Why not just separate the checkout in to steps like that:
login_address,shipping_payment_coupon_cart_fields_confirm,end

That will force the users to first enter their address before selecting their payment/shipping options.

Yuppie!! That's the way, aha aha, i like it, aha aha! :D

Thank you very much, Nicolas!

P.S: after selecting payment method, it is possible to change button from Next to something like "Send order" to explain to users that this is the last step? I tried to change text in language, but now i get two "Send order" buttons..
