Thread: Understanding checkoutpayment

Hi guys, I need to understand how the panels in checkoutpayment.aspx work (e.g. the panel that appears when you select Credit Card payment).

I must insert something similar when a customer select a shipping method in checkoutshipping.aspx (i must show a list of pick-up points if the customer don't want the item to be shipped)

Could you give me any hints on how those pages use asp:panel and adnsf:topic?

Thanks!

Ok this is what I understood, but I don't think it's a good solution, because I have to manually add a asp:RadioButton* in checkoutshipping.aspx
anyway, this is just an idea..

in checkoutshipping.aspx I added:

Code:

<asp:RadioButton GroupName="ShippingMethodID" ID="ShippingMethodID3" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" />
		
<asp:Panel ID="pnlPickup" runat="server" Visible="false">
<asp:Literal ID="pickup" runat="server" Mode="passThrough"></asp:Literal>
</asp:Panel>

in the codebehind:

Code:

override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
	//
	// CODEGEN: This call is required by the ASP.NET Web Form Designer.
	//
	InitializeComponent();
	base.OnInit(e);
}
		
private void InitializeComponent()
{
	ShippingMethodID3.CheckedChanged += new EventHandler(ShippingMethodID3_CheckedChanged);
	ShippingMethodID3.Text = "my radio button";
	pickup.Text =	"<div style=\"float:left; margin-left:20px; margin-bottom:20px; padding:10px; width:50%; background-color:#cfdde8\">" +
			"<p>hi i\'m here asdasd</p><p>hi i'm here asdasd</p><p>hi i'm here asdasd</p><p>hi i'm here asdasd</p><p>hi i'm here asdasd</p><p>hi i'm here asdasd</p><p>hi i'm here asdasd</p><p>hi i'm here asdasd</p>" +
			"</div>";
}

void ShippingMethodID3_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	pnlPickup.Visible = true;
}

* I think this is the only way, since looking at checkoutpayment.aspx I see that all the payment options are declared manually, then from the codebehind you set the ones you want to be visible.. right?


Any further idea will be appreciated.. Thanks!

ok this cannot work.. because adding a shipping option in this way will cause a "No Shipping Method Found. Contact Store Administrator" error.

So I think that the alternative could be
1) inserting a In-Store Pickup for RTShipping
2) trying to bind its radio button to a codebehind event via javascript

If the user select this shipping option, I want to display a box containing a list of radio buttons that allow the user to select his favorite pick-up point

Are there other ways to have this feature?

Thanks

You're not to far off what's like to be your optimal method for accomplishing this. When Allow In-Store Pickup is turned on we just add the In-Store Pickup method to the shipping collection after we retrieve the RealTime Rates. The best way to do what you're looking for is at that same point, add a Pickup method for each of your relevant locations and allow the users to select from them.

ok Dusty, I think you're talking about this

Code:

if(pickupIsAllowed)
{
	RTShipping.ShippingMethod s_methodPickup = new RTShipping.ShippingMethod();
	s_methodPickup.ServiceName = AppLogic.GetString("RTShipping.LocalPickupMethodName", ThisCustomer.SkinID, ThisCustomer.LocaleSetting);
	s_methodPickup.ServiceRate = AppLogic.AppConfigNativeDecimal("RTShipping.LocalPickupCost");
	s_methods.AddMethod(s_methodPickup);
}

so, i'll have as many s_methodPickup as my pick-up points are,
and i'll add these objects to s_methods, right?

I'd like the list of pick-up stores to appear in a separate box,
ONLY if the user selects the "in-store pickup" shipping method, will this be possible?

how can I separate these shipping methods (i.e. the pickup points) from the "real" shipping methods?

and how can I fire up the event that shows the box when the user selects the in-store pickup?


Thank you very much!

Yes, that's right. Regarding the additional box, a panel control that toggles whenever the in-store pickup is ticked could lend a hand.

There is no shipping methos need, so the web site not need pass the checkoutshipping.aspx. When I click the "checkout Now" button, the site will go to the checkoutpayment.aspx. But When I check out, It always prompt me that "No Shipping Method Found. Contact Store Administrator". Could you please give me some advise?

Many Thanks,
