Force Conditions Acceptance

[ozewolf]

I need to have customers who wish to use some kinds of shipping accept the conditions set by the carrier Prior to completing an order Is this possible and if so How to go about doing it please.

Their statement
"Before using the DRC you must prominently post the statements contained below on your web site.

INSERT YOUR TRADING NAME HERE accepts responsibility for any loss of, damage to, late delivery or non-delivery of goods ordered from our web site. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to release our carriers from any liability relating to loss of, damage to, late delivery or non-delivery of any goods you order from this web site and to assign all rights to claim compensation or insurance against our carriers to us and expressly and irrevocably do so by clicking the following box.
In rural and regional areas of Australia, delivery times for Express Parcel Services are in respect of delivery to the Post Office of the principal township in that area. Delivery to final destinations may take longer. If in doubt please check with your local Post Office.

You must ensure that your web site is constructed so that every customer who requests an estimate of delivery times or charges expressly agrees to the above statements at the time of making such request."

Thanks

Put it in the Shipping and Returns - even re-label it as: Shipping Terms

Since OSCMAX - does not ESTIMATE shipping times - that part is irrelevant. And since most (depending on the module) can calculate shipping depending on your requirements - mostly ilrreivanet

You can force people to agree to several things - just sub your above text...

Must agree to Terms
Must agree to terms
agree to terms then confirm
customer Must Accept Terms and Conditions (MATC)
Just to list a few. Millage may vary....

Thanks JFP
I looked at some of those contributions but am Not sure what is relevant & what version of oscommerce a lot of them work with or wont in osCMax
How can one tell?

[jpf]

Most will work - but you have to manually edit osCMax files....In case they have already been modified. ALWAYS isolate the exact change code and note or comment them. Then look for the code before/after the updated code and find that code in the same osCMax file (line numbers mostly have changed - but most of the code is the same).

Hi all!
I'm having a go for the contribution "Must agree to terms and conditions". I've had this simply mod running in my osC store and it works perfectly.

However, no I am boulding up an new store - a osCMAX store, and I just can't get this to work...

Checkbox is in place, but one can checkout and place and order even if the customer forgets to mark the Checkbox. So - I havent placed the javascript code in the rigt place...

I've tried to place the code both in the /catalog/checkout_confirmation.php page and also in the templates chekout_confirmation.tpl.php-file.

Is there anyone who knows exackly where the code should go? Please help me

Well, seems easy (I might test at some point).
Only need to modify:
catalog/templates/yourtemplate/content/checkout_confirmation.tpl.php

Put the Javascript at the very top and replace the rest of the code in the appropriate place (ignoring the line number references - just search for them).

[As the instructions say, "Simple and easy". Just watch your spelling. ]

Hi ridexbuilder, and thank you for your answer

I put the javascript code at the very top as you wrote (in catalog/templates/yourtemplate/content/checkout_confirmation.tpl.php), but the customer can still place an order without checking the box...

Now what shall I do - any suggestions?

[ridexbuilder]

I've just tested this and it works - osCMax 2.0.15
Donations, Kudos, Rep Power, Thanks (or all of them ) accepted...

Note: replace yourtemplate with the name of your own template - you should NOT be using/modifying the fallback template, for example, but possibly a copy of it.
Translation: fallback => falle tilbake Et eller annet til hvilke ettall kanne feriested eller tilbake

Hi again,

I have osCMax 2.0.15 and I have also my own template, so I'm not using the one in the fallback directory

Very strange... CleoCat is thinking that mabye some of the other contributions she has installed is interfering.

Well, thank you for your help!

[ridexbuilder]

You could may the changes to fallback and switch your site to use fallback, just to see if it makes the difference.
[I didn't tell you do do this, though! ]
