MODIFICATION: Upgraded thanks.tpl page

[cwp +]

I feel like 68 kind of leaves the customer hanging after they make a purchase for an ad. It doesn't send off an email to the customer with any additional information or a receipt. The thanks.tpl page gives the customers a 1 liner. So I plumped it up with some goodies. All you have to do is edit my copy of thanks.tpl with some information like your company name, email, and possibly change the border color of the table to your theme and upload it.

Now when the customer buys a listing they are greeted with some additional information and a receipt that they can print off.

I sent some email templates to eric which he is going to implant in a future version of 68 classifieds, one of which will send the customer a thank you/ order invoice email.

Let me know what you guys think of my upgraded thanks.tpl page, any feedback is welcome.


Replace the following code with your code in your template editor for the page: default/checkout/thanks.tpl

<!-- Thanks Page -->
<fieldset>
	<legend>{$smarty.const.LANG_THANK_YOU}</legend>
	<p>Thank you for your order {$firstname}! If you paid by credit card or another form of instant payment your listing should now be viewable online. To prevent duplicate orders please do not hit the back button. Please see below for your order details. It is recommended that you print this page for your records.</p>

<br />
<p>If you selected to pay by check or money order your listing will not be viewable online to the public until payment has been received. You may make payments out to "Your Company Name" for the amount of {$fomatTotal|format_money} and mail to:</p>
<p><strong>Your Company Name</strong><br />
Your Address<br />
City, ST, Postal</p><br />

Good idea and thanks for sharing.

No problem. You're welcome to edit it and use it in the next version. If this is so we can delete this thread when that version comes out with this upgrade.

CWP, that is wonderful. Thanks for sharing as that makes the checkout look even better.

Thanks for your kind comments. I'm glad I made something of use to someone on these forums!

Also you can use the methods posted in this thread ->
Different thank you pages for different methods of payments?

to show different information for different gateways.

CWP,
I was messing around this weekend with the purple template as it seemed like it would be easier to use to make it match my existing site. I see that there aren't nearly as many tpl files for that template. Do you know how one would implement this on the purple template instead of the default template?
Thanks!
Adam

I havent played with the new templates at all but if they follow suit with the V3 templates a template file is first used if it exists in the chosen template folder and if it doesnt exist the template in the default is used.

This basically means that only the templates that change from the default actually have to be included in the new template.

[Eric Barnes +]

Yes what Larry said is correct. The template system uses a layered approach and always reverts to the default if one can not be found.

Thanks a ton as I now am able to get that to work. I appreciate the help!
