Checkout different template

Hi,

1. I am not sure how can this be done but i would like to move wizardbar outside of the hikashop checkout page and put in template header where menu item is.
Would this require some custom plugin/module?

2. I would like to hide modules, some blocks of the template from checkout process. So user wouldnt be distracted during checkout process.

Issue that modules can be hidden via menu assignment but i would like to keep everything in first checkout step which is "cart" and start to hide from second step... There is only one menu item for checkout so i am not sure how can this be done...I hope you understand my quarry.

Basically i am looking to have different template layout in checkout. Any advice is welcome.

Thanks

Hi,

1. I understand that there is no way to show wizardbar outside hikashop checkout as it is controlled by hikashop.

However I would like to have as example different text in joomla module based on checkout step. Can this be done?

In checkout i use "if($this->step== 1 ){" and it works fine. So if this would be possible then i could just create some kinda module and show text/contente based on checkout step.

Or maybe there is some component for joomla it self?


Thanks

Hi,

sure that can be done, we do that as well, the easiest way is to simply create two separate modules with the different text and display each on the different checkout pages. As Jerome pointed out, you can use a component like Advanced Module Manager for that. Then you can restrict a module to only appear on pages with a specific URL for example, so you can have a module appear only on the page "/task-step/step-1" or "/task-step/step-2" or something like that.

A second possibility which does not require a plugin, is to use the if($this->step== 1 ){ you mentioned and then load the module manually through PHP, which can be done by adding something along the lines:

$modules  = JModuleHelper::getModules("YOUR_MODULE");
$attribs  = array();
$attribs['style'] = 'xhtml';

foreach ($modules as $mod)
{
    echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($mod, $attribs);
}

Hi,

Thanks GW for helping.

I think i have asked my question wrong.

The issue is that advanced module manager doesnt work with our template and i would like to put wizardbar into template header during checkout. So i am thinking how could i have it.

Thanks
