Thank you/order information page shows unproperly

Hi,

After testing pages with PayPal and Skrill modules, I realised that when customer press the button "confirm order", he/she will be first redirected to "Thank you for your order/order confirmation" page. After the few seconds the payment frame will come (Skrill) or customer will be redirected to PayPal's own site.

Problem 1: order confirmation page comes too early to customer.
Problem 2: Thank you/order confirmation page looks unproperly (sidebar at the right looking terrible).

The page customer reaches first tell him order is placed. When he pay he is redirected from PP to other page to tell him payment also was success.

Ok, so the problem 1 is really not a problem then, if it's suppose to do so. It is just little bit odd that customer sees "thank you"-page for only few seconds (even before paying the order).

Do you have any easy solution for hiding the template's (Hot Watches) sidebar, from the Virtuemart-section (at least from thank you page/order confirmation).

Thx for all the advises!

Check this thread - similar issue I think:

Great advise! I managed to hide the carousel from the cart page with your tip, but didn't manage to hide the created "hidden menu" (menu type was: hidden). I don't know if it is a problem, because it shows that new menu's name only in breadcrumb and in url - and every url-redirecting seems to go normal.

That original problem ("thank you"-page too early and faulty layout) is still unsolved, but I think that can't be solved by menus and changing menu/module assignments (as I did for hiding carousel).

I think the layout of "thank you"- and "order confirmation"-page (and function of the page) is somewhere in their own .php-file. So if I want to hide "about-column-right" and "featured products" module from thank you page I have delete/edit some code, but what...

Well you can edit:

templates\hot_watches\html\com_virtuemart\cart\order_done.php

and you can override other vm cart files by copying them from components\com_virtuemart\views\cart\tmpl\ to that folder then customizing them.


In same way you can create overide for :
components\com_virtuemart\views\paymentresponse\tmpl\

by copying default.php to:

templates\hot_watches\html\com_virtuemart\paymentresponse\

then editing it
