Title: Replace checkout/success page
Post by: Bill Griffin on July 27, 2020, 03:17:23 PM

I'm using the default program. After payment the customer is returned to the checkout/success page.

I need to return the customer to a form for them to fill out on another web site. I've tried putting a link in the text on the page and can't get it to work.

There is a continue button on the page that returns them to the home page they might click instead of a link.
Is there a way to get the continue button to take them to my form? I'm open for ideas.

hello.
To implement this feature you should to create hook on checkout/success controller and make some changes of your template.

1. install our developer tools extension  (https://www.abantecart.com/shopping-cart-news/developer-tool-v12) and do the clone of default template.
2. Install this template and set it as default template of your store.
3. Open file with hooks (usually it's a extensions/your_template_name/core/your_template_name_hooks.php file ) and paste hook-method for success page.
for example:

Code: [Select]

    public function onControllerPagesCheckoutSuccess()
    {
        $that = $this->baseObject;
        //if not final checkout page - skip
        if((int)$that->session->data['order_id']){
            return;
        }
       
        $that->view->assign('some_your_custom_variable', 'BLAH_BLAH_BLAH-TEXT');
    }4. Open file view/{your_template_name}/template/common/success.tpl and paste

Code: [Select]

echo $some_your_custom_variable;
OR

You can paste some static html directly into your own view/{your_template_name}/template/common/success.tpl file (without hooks data)
