Hello There,

i'm currently trying to theme the checkout form but i can't do it. The system does not accept my customization and i don't know why.

I'm trying to do it like this:

function theme_uc_cart_checkout_form($form) {
	$output .= 'test test';
  }

but the full checkout page does appear. What am i doing wrong? Normaly there should only appear a "test test" on the page?

Mmmmh. And i think my further costumization will be the same like this.

Do i have a fundamental problem of understanding??

Thanks

Sarah

Hi Sarah, First, here's a

Hi Sarah,

First, here's a Book page on the subject - try to read that and see if anything there makes sense: http://drupal.org/node/55126

Secondly, where are you putting this override function? It's best to put it in your theme's template.php file, and instead of calling it theme_uc_cart_checkout_form($form) you should rename it to use either your theme engine, or the name of your theme, i.e. phptemplate_uc_cart_checkout_form($form). This way the theme engine knows to use that function instead of the original theme function (and it'll also prevent you from having a Fatal error of the "cannot redeclare function" type, causing a White Screen of Death).

If you're using Drupal 6 then you'll need to clear the Theme Cache, which is done at admin > settings > performance.

thanks torgo!

now that i try

function phptemplate_uc_cart_checkout_form($form) {
	$output .= 'test test';
  }

it also doesn't work. i get the full checkout form page with all the billing information fields and stuff like that. why? does anybody have a working code or hint for customizing this page? or better, the whole checkout with cart view and stuff?

thanks

Re: Still not solved

Where are you adding that PHP code? Which file? If you want to hop on IRC in #drupal-ubercart (freenode) I can help out there.
