Hello my name is cameron. I need a module or help with creating a message after you complete checkout that will show or give further shipping instructions! This is for a sell phone repair website and the idea is that they will be sending the phone in for repair and i wanted to have shipping instructions appear after checkout is complete. All Help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi Cameron, welcome to the forums :)

This isn't too difficult.

1) Backup and open catalog/view/theme/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template/common/success.tpl (if the file isn't in your current theme, open the default template file)
2) Search for:

Code: Select all

<?php echo $text_message; ?>
3) Either above/below that code add:

Code: Select all

<?php if($this->request->get['route'] == 'checkout/success'){ ?>
// Your instructions here
<?php } ?>
That code is basically checking that we are on the checkout success page (because success.tpl is used for many pages in OpenCart). If it is the checkout success page it will add your code!

If that doesn't work or you need any more help just let me know :)

On the other hand, if you put the instructions somewhere static, such as in the product description or in the footer where they can find it whenever they think about it BEFORE OR AFTER actually ordering, then they can see it when they need it. Many people will want to know about how to give up their toys BEFORE they pay to give them up, and will want to see that the instructions are fixed. There's already more than enough reason in customers' minds, on-line, for abundances of precaution.
