On 1.5.0, can we have the Confirm Order tab open first?

Hi everyone, if anyone can help with modifying some jquery, I would greatly appreciate it.

When the person checks out, I don't want to show Billing Details, Payment Method, Shipping Info, etc tabs. All that is taken care of for our business.

I want the Confirm Order tab (the tab with the shopping cart items) to open first and have the customer click on Continue button and move onto success.tpl as usual.

I think that this is in /catalog/view/theme/default/template/checkout, but am not 100% sure.

I am sure there is a line of jquery somewhere to allow this to happen?

It's much more than a line of jquery. Those "tabs" are not merely closed. Each button click sends data back to the server via ajax and does stuff, then returns the next "tab" information which depends on the stuff that was done by the previous click.

Thanks, XSecrets for your fast response, but I am aware of the fact that the other tabs are opening after processing from the tab before.

However, I do not see that as the case for the Confirm Order tab since the products from the shopping cart display. I don't actually understand why the Confirm Order tab would rely on the other tabs.

All I really need is the customer to checkout and have the order save to the database and I believe the Confirm Order tab and success.tpl will handle that.

The confirm order tab also has the payment options in there. for instance paypal has a bunch of fields to send over to paypal. authorize.net has the form for the cc info etc. That information relies on the customer information being filled out so that it knows if the payment is available in the zone. Basically all the steps are required. There is alot more than you think going on behind the scenes than you think. As a matter of fact the actual confirm button actually comes from the payment module, so the payment module must be set before it can be displayed. The checkout is really a very complicated beast. Believe me I know because I'm working on a nice all information displayed one page checkout, but it's very complicated.

Thanks, X, you just cleared up a lot, but all I can say is Yikes! It looks like I will have tio take this upon myself to redo the actual checkout page. Should be interesting.
