Hi
Thanks for contacting us. Could you please explain it a bit more?
-Regards.
When you click on Check Out and Allow guest checkout is disabled you are directed to the Joomla Login screen and You have to create a new user account which is very clumsy
when Allow guest checkout is enabled the obvious route is check out as a guest unless you click on log in and then choose create an account which does not make sense.
The creation of a new joomla user account needs to be intergrated better eg. a check box labelled "create an account" which enables the password and verify password boxes with a check for email exists as a user account
As a suggestion - The top of the check out screen needs to show 3 simple options
Create an account / I have an account log in / Check out as guest (if enabled)
that takes you to the correct Joomla login or registration screen
index.php/component/users/login
index.php/component/users/registration
Sorry there is no default option to do that. I will add it in our feature request list.
In an effort to correct this issue i need to modify the following file:
components/com_easystore/layouts/checkout/contact.php
I would prefer to use an override. But I can not get the over ride to work. I have tried placing the file in the following locations, none of which work. Can you advise if thgis can be donee and if so where the over ride file should be placed.
templates/shaper_helixultimate/overrides/com_easystore/checkout/contact.php
templates/shaper_helixultimate/html/layouts/com_easystore/checkout/contact.php
templates/shaper_helixultimate/html/com_easystore/checkout/contact.php
Sorry I dont have enough information about it.
