Package Doesnt show up if its the only package available

[Bronxgodzilla +]

meaning, Package Doesnt show up if its the only package selected -- I have 60 categories and various packages for most of the categories remain the same. However some dont. Some packages like quik-auto sales for example, only to the the category "new & used cars" or motorcycles -- etc.

By not working I mean doesnt show up when clicking place an ad //choose category. and the proper package is not there to the User. Just doesnt show up.. I have solved it temporarily by placing a random 2nd package to affiliate with my desired category and it does work, ie both show up. But what is the real reason? How to solve?

Oh, yes. I have about a dozen payment packages, including a free one.

Barry thats working as intended. If there is only one ad package available to the category then it assumes that its the package you will be using so just moves you to the next step.

Interesting.... Yes that is astonishingly simple (almost would say, duh!) but what if the customer wanted to see what was in the package, ie the components. Guess what I didnt say was that this particular package is only associated with a single category -- a feature I actually appreciate being able to do.... so perhaps I will have to explain the components of the package elsewhere. TC's adpack mod doesnt apply here since the customer is already logged in.

Thanks Larry

If you want to show the package and have the developer edition you can delete this in includes/core/checkout/step2.php

PHP Code:

if(count($products) === 1) { //only one so use it and forward them along
        $productid=$products[0]['pID'];
        header("Location: ".$params."&productid=".$productid);
        die;
    }
