Billing and Delivery Details in Fancybox

[WebStuff]

I'm hoping this could be useful to someone and wondered if anyone wanted to test on their system.

I've made an override to be able to enter Billing and Delivery details in the cart opening in a fancybox popup instead of going to a different page.
The overrides needed are only two files:
{YOUR_SITE}/templates/{YOUR_TEMPLATE}/html/com_virtuemart/cart/default_address.php
{YOUR_SITE}/templates/{YOUR_TEMPLATE}/html/com_virtuemart/user/edit_address.php

I'm not proficient in fancybox or jQuery or the in's and out's of form submissions so any improvements or bugs please feel free to post.

This could doubtless be improved possibly taking account of the dynupdate system but that is beyond me. Also calling pages as an ajax request instead of a call to the actual address pages.

This works on my system but your system may vary as regards plugins,etc. so it may not work for you.

Anyway I've attached the files they just need the .txt extension removing.

Do you mean:

In the cart - Opening Billing and Delivery details in popup?

Sounds like an added complexity to an already complicated ordering process.
Can you send final demo pls?

I try on mobile.

Most sites use one of the one-page checkout extensions...... all done on a single page.

The files are attached to my post.

As far as complexity goes at the moment if someone is a new customer and wants to register or checkout as guest they are taken to a completely different page to register then they have to click back to the cart then they go to another different page to add a delivery address (if different) having to click on the cart link again to go back to the cart.
My thinking was that they could stay on the same page thus simplifying the checkout process.

I've even had people phone up when they have got taken out of the cart by the register/checkout process and so abandoned the cart. At least some of them phoned in.

Thanks for feedback.

Thanks Jenkinhill
I'm hoping this could be part of the "standard" OPC rather than having to get another component or plugin.
My other thought was to have a slider for the billing and delivery entry forms but I couldn't get that to work across the VM sub-folders.
I'm really just trying to minimise the user bouncing to other pages as I think a  few get confused but also minimise cart "real estate".

Thanks for the feedback.

Not on a public server I'm afraid only on a localhost server.
Thanks anyway.
