[RELEASED] Uber Checkout 1.5.x - Improved Checkout System

Supported OpenCart Versions:
================
v151+


What does it do:
================
This replaces the normal checkout with a much cleaner and simpler 2 step option and use a more intutive design that customers are sure to love
Page One: Login/Registration combines the login form and registration form for Normal or Guest accounts.
Page Two: Checkout Confirmation combines all the checkout display options in one place and uses ajax to handle all updates. The result is the cleanest checkout experience available.


Requirements:
================
- This mod requires the vQmod engine to be installed (http://vQmod.com)

- Because of the way the page updates using ajax, changes to setting will have to update the temp order.
Since OpenCart simply generates a new temp order by default, this can result in many temp orders in the "Abandoned" or "Missing" orders list.
Though not required, You will want to use the "Single Order Temp Id" vQmod to limit excessive temp orders:

This will ensure that the same order id is reused for a single customer instead of generating a new order id each time.

* Uses vQmod for a few simple changes

Two things I'd like to see that would make it even more attractive for me.

1 Add captcha to the register part for new customers checking out.

2 Make the newsletter subscription radio button default to Yes.

Not to hijack the thread, but I've gotten to the point where I just won't support it any more and tell the people who have it to demand better from the Shoppica team. I lose some sales but that theme will continue to be a huge headache for devs if the Shoppica team doesn't feel any pressure from their customers and mod developers to make it more compliant with the standard OpenCart framework.
