There is a thread about Ubercart UI improvements at http://drupal.org/node/529110 - one of the feedback results from some UI testing was

GVS recently did some usability testing on a client site that included Ubercart and UC_Signup, and identified potential usability issues that apply to Ubercart. I'm posting those here so others can weigh in on the proposed improvements.

When viewing their cart contents two of four participants clicked the "Remove" box next to the item, as if to confirm the selection.

Potential Improvements
- Replace the remove checkbox with a "remove" button, like amazon does (this eliminates the need to also click "update cart" when changing removing a single item)

I'd received similar anecdotal feedback from a couple of customer sites. So I've implemented a module which implements this. It's pretty huckery ... but I'd like some feedback.

Attached is an example module (with some ugly code within) which implements a button you click to remove an item from the cart. Please download it and give it a whirl. I'd love to see this merged into UC but don't think it's ready for a full release yet (not until I've had some feedback, anyway).

Cheers

PS. Drupal.org only accepts .tgz as an extension, while Ubercart.org only accepts .tar.gz ... please consider allowing .tgz here too, to simplify contributing.

Re: Single remove button (to replace checkbox)

Great job mate, works like a charm.
I've also tried a 2.x-dev (unsupported yet) of uc_ajax_cart (need to enable ajax table view on your /admin/build/modules page).

Re: Single remove button (to replace checkbox)

I just added this to my site (after yet another customer's product "magically disappeared" from her cart) and it works great so far, with my limited testing. Will know more after users start shopping, but I have high hopes.

Would love to see this feature built into core.

Thank you!
