Prevent Checkout On Home Page

Hi,

Thank you for your support.

I'm not sure I understand what you want to achieve. The cart module is a standard Joomla module, so in the Joomla options of the module, you can select on which page you want to display it, if that's what you're asking ?

Hi,

I suppose this has something to do with the Itemid which is lost.

At first you say in your post that it happens when you click on "proceed to checkout" but on the footnote you say that it's when you add a product to the cart, so I'm not sure which one it is but I'll go with the first one
Could you try to change the line

echo $this->cart->displayButton(JText::_('PROCEED_TO_CHECKOUT'),'checkout',$this->params,hikashop::completeLink('checkout'),'');

global $Itemid; echo $this->cart->displayButton(JText::_('PROCEED_TO_CHECKOUT'),'checkout',$this->params,hikashop::completeLink('checkout&Itemid='.(int)@$Itemid),'');

Hi,

Home page or not, that is defined by the Itemid in URLs on Joomla websites. That's why I told you to try to change that code which adds the Itemid in the checkout link. Now, would you be able to give a link to your website so that we can see the problem ? That will help us understand more the problem.

Thank you for the link.

Now I understand why it didn't work

The links you are talking about are links you added in a Joomla article. Of course, my modification won't have any effect on them.
You need to change those links and append &Itemid=77 to them so that it stays on the same page. That problem has nothing to do with HikaShop but with the way Joomla handles pages and menus.

Hi,

So I had to change some code so that it keeps the itemid upon redirect on the checkout. That change is mainly due to the way your template handles the frontpage. That's why it was always displaying you the front page. The modifications I added will also be added in next version of HikaShop so that other users using these kinds of templates don't have the same issues.

I saw that you changed the workflow to this:
address,payment,confirm,coupon_cart,status,end

I would recommand you that instead:
address_login,payment,coupon_cart_status_confirm,end

The confirm should be right before the end as it's the confirm step which creates the order and redirects to the payment website thanks to the end view. Both are complementary and should be kept like that. Also the confirm doesn't need it's own step as it's not displaying anything so I grouped it with the previous one.
Also, you should keep the login view so that your users can login or register. Otherwise, you won't be able to make an order unless you're already logged on the website as it's the case right now.
The status view only displays the payment method selected so I suppose you would like to group it with the cart view.

If you want to change the name of the steps, you can do so by editing the language file via the interface under the tab languages of the configuration page of HikaShop.
