Make the ShipTo default to BillTo unless ShipTo exist!

[Stonedfury]

Hello! 
For those with customers who get confused at the Bill to and Ship to fields because the ST is empty. Here's a work around that to help remove the confusion. I would love to see this as part of the next update in VM. Tell me how to send it in or put in myself so you guys can just run with it.

Create your override folder yoursite.net\templates\yourtemplate\html\com_virtuemart\cart and copy the files from yoursite.net\components\com_virtuemart\views\cart\tpl

Open default_pricelist.php and find

NOTE: I originally posted this on the VP_Promart forum as an edit in their template. This is NOT their template being displayed and the file include in the zip file is from stock VM copied into beez_20 template. I have been using this edit since I shared it with Virtueplanet and I have had no issues with orders getting wrong address beyond what the user messes up.

I too had some fun with the checkout section. I saw no point in having a separate OPC component that relies totally on JS and lags behind VM releases.

Maybe I can add some additional ideas.  I doubt they will make the VM code cut though (LOL)

I modified the section relating to bill to and ship to details so that the section determines if a billing address has been entered, before showing you the option of setting a shipping address.

It also adjusts the button text to show add or edit depending on whether the relevant address has been added.

You need to override the "default button text" to get rid of the add/edit as this is controlled by the status of the address.
I also override the language variable COM_VIRTUEMART_USER_FORM_EDIT_BILLTO_EXPLAIN="<strong>Same as Billing Address<br/></strong>"

You can add the additional styling for the BT address button as the class is changed when the BT details have not been entered.

Right on Hutson! I think that some of these could be put into VM. The buttons should change if you have BT and ST details. I totally agree.

I am glad you liked it.
