    Hi all,

    Can anyone help me? I have the developer edition (4.1.6) and I am trying to swap step 7 with step 6 in the checkout process. I want them to be able to preview their listing before entering their payment details and pay (using PayPal)

    I have tried swaping the code from step7.tpl to step6.tpl and step7.php to step6.php (and reverse) but it doesn't work. I think it is because it needs the users variables (contact and payment details) to be able to show the listings so I tried this by passing the variables in from step 5. But this still doesn't work!!

    I'm sure this can be done, but I cant figure it out right now!!

    If anyone can help me along the way I would be grateful!

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Can I ask what difference you think this will make? Its not as straightforward to do that as you may think. Just swapping files over will not work. I can't think of an easy way to do it without recoding some of the files. Variables are collected and used as you go through the checkout process.

    I managed to swap step 1 and step 2 (I explained in another post a few months back) so that the user chooses a package and then a category.

    The current checkout process is "ugly" and I would like mine to go in this order: Choose Package > Listing Details > Images > Preview > Payment

    I understand the steps, I can make it go from step 5 to step 7 ok, but then the submit button doesn't work (to go to PayPal) and I don't know why?!

    I would really like this to work! Please help anyone!

    P.S. I don't mind re-coding some of the files! I've re-coded most of it anyway.

    You have lost me. You can't just swap steps even if you did it for step 1 and 2 without considering several files . From what I can see its a custom development and not something you can quickly do on the forum with a couple of line changes. Perhaps Larry knows a quick way but I don't.

    I also do not see the issue in advertisers putting in their details and then finally previewing their listings before submitting and being redirected to paypal or visa versa. 50% of the people will like it this way and 50% will not. You can't please all of the people all of the time.

    OK then, how about just skipping step 6 and passing the variables on to step 7? I only have one payment gateway and i can forward the contact details on to step 7, but how can I do this?

    Thanks in advance!
