Even I am getting error when SMTP is set. Ordinary mail works well. Email received when new order is made. If SMTP enabled, email is not received and connection timeout error show in the Error log. I have tried all possible smtp settings including changing ports like 25, 2525, 465 etc... Also used ssl://mail.example.com, ssl://smtp.gmail.com   or just localhost....
Nothing works. Coming into this forum, I found I am not alone facing this issue. Can someone throw light on this?
Thanks

Hi,
Please tell me how to capture IP address of Guest customer. In admin panel it must be recorded along with order details. Can some one help me?
Thanks

Basara's 1st answer was the correct answer: you can only fit so much stuff on a small screen. 

But I agreed with your idea that Quantity was important to display in the table. 
To me, Quantity was more important to display than Total, because the Total value is available elsewhere on the same page

Look at about line 4325 in the AC stylesheet.  You will see this:

Code Select Expand

.cart-info.product-list table tr td:nth-child(1), .cart-info.product-list table tr th:nth-child(1),
.cart-info.product-list table tr td:nth-child(3), .cart-info.product-list table tr th:nth-child(3),
.cart-info.product-list table tr td:nth-child(5), .cart-info.product-list table tr th:nth-child(5),
.invoice_products.table tr td:nth-child(2), .invoice_products.table tr th:nth-child(2),
.invoice_products.table tr td:nth-child(3), .invoice_products.table tr th:nth-child(3) {
display: none !important;
visibility: hidden !important;
}

These rules are hiding certain values on small screens.  The values to be hidden are defined by

Code Select Expand

nth-child(x).

If you change both (1) values to (2), and change both (5) values to (6), this will change which values are selected to be hidden on small screens, and your cart table will look like my cart table instead of the default AC cart table. 

Hope this helps.

Hi
You have solved the issue. Thanks a lot. It worked for me perfectly fine. Now Quantity box value displays in small screen.
Only thing is that I had to change in another place also around line 3812 and add one more line with particular value. Because in that line also nth child(x) display none code is there. Initially it did not work. After I changed values in this place also, it worked. You showed me the correct way of doing it. Thanks again for great help. 

Hi, all of the changes I described above should be made to the style.css file.  Do not make any changes to the bootstrap.css file. 

I should have made my language more clear:  "around line 2600" is the "bootstrap overwrites" section of style.css.

After you save all these changes to style.css, clear your browser cache and see if it works.

Hi
Thank you for clarifying the bootstrap over writes. I added everything in style.css and undone changes made to bootstrap.css. But still not working. I have attached the screenshot, Please see.

I fixed this with css. 

style.css:

For the .quantitybox variable around line 1590, add:

Code Select Expand

min-width: 250px;

In the bootstrap overwrite section around line 2600, I added new variables:

Code Select Expand


form#product {
margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px;
}

#product_quantity.form-control, .alert {
width: 55px;
}


For the .mt20 variable about line 110, I changed the value from 20px to 0px. 
This last bit is more of a spacing preference than a requirement for keeping the quantity box in view on mobile screens. 

I'm pretty sure that's all I did. 

Try it and see if it works. 
If it doesn't, then maybe there is one more change I overlooked for this post, but it should be easy to figure out with CSS Inpsector.

Let me know if it works for you.

Hi
I did all steps you mention in Style.css and added the codes including making .mt20 to 0 px.
But in bootstrap.css, I am not sure of which lines exactly must be over writtren around line 2600. So I added the additional variable you mentioned  form#product and #product_quantity.form-control, .alert at the last line of the bootstrap css file. Just checked it and still quantibox not visible in mobile. Please tell me which line in bootstrap to be over written by this code:

Code Select Expand


form#product {
margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px;
}

#product_quantity.form-control, .alert {
width: 55px;
}

Thank you very much for your reply for fixing this. Expecting your reply again with this updated query. Thanks

Hi.
What is your device screen resolution?

Hi
I have tested in my two mobiles. One is Samsung Galaxy J7 Nxt that has 5.5 inch screen with 720x1280 pixels resolution. Another mobile is Moto G4 Play which is 5 inch screen with 720 x 1280 pixels resolution.  In both these mobiles, the Quantity column not displaying. I went to other websites shopping cart for testing, all show quantity box with ability to update it. In AC it is not showing. Please check and arrange to fix it at the earliest. Thanks. 

Hi.

If mobile screen too small some columns are hidden

Yeah. But it is not small mobile and other carts display well. I think it is a Bug  to be fixed...
Please do resolve
Thanks 

Hi,
Please see that after adding to cart the page goes to www.example.com/store/index.php?rt=checkout/cart.
In this page, it is showing Product name, Unit price, Total and Remove columns. Quantity column is missing in mobile phone. Customers will not be able to change quantity and update it in view cart page. To cross check if my files on my server are corrupted, I logged into your AC DEMO version after activating personal demo account. Your website also not showing quantity column in mobile.  It shows properly in Computer desktop.  Please check. I request you to kindly resolve it soon, and let customers don't ace any issues. Thanks.

Really unfortunate that no one could help me with this issue. I don't know how people are using this when they want to deliver to a customer  who may need to give different telephone number. Billing address telephone number is not enough in this situation. I wonder why, no one has ever pointed it out in this forum. Telephone field in shipping address section must have been built in Abantecart. There must not be a need to do it as a modification. But very unfortuantely,  it is not built in is definitely a defect in basic design according to me.
More sad is no one has any solution for this 

Hi All,

Awaiting someone to give me solution to this. No reply yet and I again request Devs and knowledgeable persons to give me a solution.
Thanks

Hi All
I request someone to help me regarding. Still No reply from anyone.  Abantecart is really excellent in the flow except the areas I have pointed out in different posts. But the areas I have pointed out in all my post are crucial. Really needed one for Abantecart to evolve more.

If Telephone number in shipping address is  different than billing address, then a customer has no choice to enter the same in guest checkout_step 1 page.  It is practically a defective one in Abantecart.
It could be a easy fix for Devs and knowledgeable persons. Unfortunately no reply. 

Can someone help me?

[Telephone number field in shipping address]

Hi All,
I searched in the forum before posting this topic. Adding New field topic was there, which seems to be little complex for me. Also not sure how to implement it for this particular scenario.
Here I need to add just a Telephone number field in shipping address in 'Guest Checkout Step_1 page', when user clicks radio button to select shipping address separate from billing. When a user selects different address for shipping, then the telephone number most probably could be different. Let the customer decide to give a different telephone if needed. If billing telephone number is taken as default, the the delivery man who can only contact the person at the billing address rather than the customer at delivery address when delivery is executed. I am not bringing any new info which is known to everyone. But it is one of most important requirements.

Any easy method that can be included by modifying the present Shipping extensions by Devs already in place [ Both Free Shipping extension and Flat Rate Shipping extension]. OR, any other code that can be easily implemented  by me to get this desired result?

UPDATE:
I inserted shipping_telephone in database to show in Guest Checkout Step_1 page and added in the php page also. Now the Telephone field is visible in Guest Checkout Step_1 page under shipping address with red asterisk. But it is not showing in Guest Checkout Step_3 page/Confirmation of order page.
What are the other steps to make it fully functional? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
AVS

["must be" is just a thought and casual word.]

For experts and Devs, it must be a cakewalk...

Why must it?

"must be" is just a thought and casual word.  It does not mean they "Must Do it". I am seeking help from Devs  and all others here and people willing to help me can resolve this for me. 
Requesting someone to help me with the "Shipping" address display on top and Billing address field to show when radio button is clicked. Otherwise Billing address is same as shipping address. Eagerly awaiting for a solution. Thanks

Hi, I have seen your posts on this topic. 

I'm no expert, but I think it is possible that you underestimate the complexity of this mod.   

Assuming that your customization work is being performed on a template extension, the following file will allow you to change the order of elements on the GS1 page:
/extensions/templatename/storefront/view/templatename/pages/checkout/guest_step_1.tpl. 

In that file, you will find blocks of code that relate to shipping address and billing address.  If you copy and paste the shipping block above the billing block, that would be the 1st step in reaching your goal. 

But then things get tricky. 

You will have to determine where and how the radio button function works in that file, and whether another file is also involved, and if so, how to carry your change through both files. 

Then you will have to consider the role of the related controller file:
/storefront/controller/pages/checkout/guest_step_1.php. 

The controller file will also have blocks of code that perform GS1 functions, and any change to the tpl file will likely require a corresponding change in the php file.

And vice versa.

IMO - you may be overestimating the value of switching the structure of GS1, and underestimating the complexity of doing so.

Hi Geoffrey

Thank you for your reply with possible steps to achieve it with also telling me about the negative result probably that may arise while Credit card processing is done. I know it is complex to change the structure of AC and did not under estimate or over estimate anything regarding this,  but trying find a solution for this, seeking help from people like you as well as Devs (developers). For experts and Devs, it must be a cakewalk to do such modification without breaking the processing of payment gateway requirements.
Thanks Geoffrey for taking time to explain which would really be useful for me.

Awaiting reply from Devs and experts for the same.
Thanks

Thanks, I see how it works now. 

For future non-techie readers: fa stands for Font Awesome and fw is a class spec that stands for fixed width. 

Font Awesome is a repository of fonts and icons.  I'm not sure if it loads with AC, or it's just out there and accessed by AC. 

If you find the tpl file source for any given AC page or element, you can edit the fa icons specified for that page or element by choosing different icon names from the Font Awesome Icon Library.   google  fontawesome.io

You can also control the size of the displayed icon by changing the fw class specification to 2x or 3x etc.  google  fontawesome.io

I think that fa icons are responsive in that they will grow as the size of their container grows.  I think.  The purpose of the fw class is to lock the size of the icon regardless of how its container size may change. 
If I'm not mistaken, the AC top-cart element is fixed width, so the fw class on those two icons is not essential, thus permitting use of a size class, such as 2x, instead of fw. 
IMO - these icons look better at 2x, and I also prefer the "fa-dollar" over the "fa-money" icon as a checkout symbol, but that's just personal preference. 
Easy to change these 2 icons: cart_top.tpl.

A final bit of trivia: the global search continues for the 'perfect' checkout icon.  There is a 2-year history of user requests to Font Awesome that they create a "cash register" icon, but so far that request has not been met.

Hi
In this screen shot, the "View Cart" text  button and  "Checkout" text button appear nicely instead of default small Icon without text.  I did it similar to this. Thanks for the tip.
