VM 3.0.16 problem with One Page Checkout Disabled

[ellisvelo]

I'm running into a problem where I'm not able to finish the checkout process when One Page Checkout is disabled. After entering in the credit card information, hitting the save button doesn't advance to the next step. The web page remains in step 3 of the credit card information.

How to Reproduce:

1. Disable One Page Checkout: Configuration-> Checkout -> disable One Page Checkout enabled
2. Attempt to make a purchase. You won't be able to advance past the credit card information page.

Enabling One Page Checkout bypasses the problem This problem didn't occur with VM 3.0.9, but was introduced in VM 3.0.10. I'm able to reproduce the problem with Joomla 3.4.8 and 3.5.1.

You should be using VM 3.0.16 with Joomla 3.5.1 and at least 3.0.12 for security reasons with 3.4.8.
There are patches and if You upgrade always think about backing up.

I don´t think any one is interested in helping You finding bugs in an old VM version.

I can reproduce the problem with Joomla 3.5.1 and Vm 3.0.16. So it is happening even with the latest versions.

What payment plugin are you using?

I'm using the authorize.net payment plugin.

I can get the checkout process to work if I modify the code slightly. The code is acting as if the payment method is not set and the user is continually re-directed to the payment page. I've forced the setting of the payment method even if One Page Checkout is disabled.

      $cart->setPaymentMethod($force, !$html);

Can someone who is in contact with the development team share my finding. Thanks.
