Was this information Helpful?

How can I change the following text in checkout pane>?

"Enter a valid email address for this order or click here to login with an existing account and return to checkout."

I tried something like this (and other variation of ) --but didn't work..

function my_module_form_alter($form_id, &$form){
  if ($form_id == 'uc-cart-checkout-form'){
      $form['customer-pane']['description'] =    
      t('Additional Information');
    
  }

}

Re: How to change description of checkout pane?

Is this not an option at admin/store/settings/checkout/edit/messages? If not, it sounds like something that should be there, perhaps...

Re: Re: How to change description of checkout pane?

Thank you for your fast reply!

Unfortunaltey, I did not see option at admin/store/settings/checkout/edit/messages.

When I looked at uc_cart_checkout_pane.inc, the text seemed to be hard coded.

$description = t('Enter a valid email address for this order or <a href="!url">click here</a> to login with an existing account and return to checkout.', array('!url' => url('user/login')));

If you happened to know how form_alter can be used, or if there is any recommendation, I really appreciate it. (As I do not want to modify the core)

Thank you again!

Re: Re: Re: How to change description of checkout pane?

It looks correct, except I think it should be ['#description'] and not ['description']. Everything else looks fine, though.

Thank you for reviewing the code. I still could not make it work with "['#description']"

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: How to change description of checkout pane?

The form_id should be uc_cart_checkout_form

I gave a complete example here: http://www.ubercart.org/comment/8749/Re-Removing-SKU-product-edit-page

Thank you very much. I

Thank you very much.

I finally figured out with all your help.

I was looking at the page source before (in browser)- but I learned that ID in source code is not always the code that form_alter usese ... This module gave me the final key to resolve this: http://drupal.org/project/forminspect

Here is the code that worked for me to change the description:

function my_module_form_alter($form_id, &$form){
  if ($form_id == 'uc_cart_checkout_form'){
 
       $form['panes']['customer']['#description']= 'Additional Information';
     
    );
  }

}

module not changing customer info

Hi

I have created a module as follows that is basically a copy of the one above to try to modify the customer info.

I can see that the module is being loaded because, if I put in incorrect syntax, I get a parse error. However, it makes no changes to the actual text on the cart/checkout page. Please help.

uc_alter_custinfo.info

; $Id$
name = uc_alter_custinfo
description = Modifies the customer info description in the checkout
package = Custom
core = 6.x

uc_alter_custinfo.module

// $Id$

/**
* @file
* Modifies the customer info description in the checkout
*/

/**
* Implementation of hook_form_alter()
*/
function uc_alter_custinfo_form_alter($form_id, &$form){
  if ($form_id == 'uc_cart_checkout_form'){

       $form['panes']['customer']['#description']= 'My changed text';
    
    };
  }

Re: How to change description of checkout pane?

I know this is an old thread, but wanted to add that we can use String Overrides http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides to do this, a handy module I really like. Another important point is this should certainly be a configurable string in admin/store/settings/checkout/edit/messages - for the anonymous setup where we never have the end user login. I've added this to the issue tracker.

for Drupal 6.x

This thread is old, but for those of you who may be looking for the same thing and are having trouble, the api for hook_form_alter has changed in 6.x. The function signature is

<?php
function my_module_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id)
{
  //function code
}
?>

Otherwise, the code in #6 works.
