Hello.
I have just purchased Sportmart Template, installed on a copy of my live site on my local testserver and it works fine except the checkout.
As you can see on image1 in step 2 of checkout the members login and become a member is not displayed. I also have installed the Quickstart of the template and here it is displayed (see image2).
I run Joomla 3.6.5 and Virtuemart 3.0.18.
Please can you help me?
Thank you very much.

Hi,

Apparently you have one shopper field that has a "default" value. That value is "Shipment" (that i can see from the 1st screenshot you attached).. What is that? Why do you have that shopper field? Is it a delimiter?

Navigate to Virtuemart Backend >> Shopper Field




find the shopper field that has the "default" value of Shipment and remove it (or unpublished it). then the problem will be gone. The "login or register" bar will be visible to anonymous (non-logged-in) visitors

Regards.

I was having the same issue (and others) I am not sure where the field comes from, but for me it was

Field name: address_type_name
Field Title: Address Nickname

I have removed the default name of shipment.
This has not resolved my checkout issue, but one fix at a time!

Hi,

There is an another way to fix this issue. It is a little hard way, but it is somehow better than touching the "Shoppers Field" section (it is very easy to mess things up if you touch the shoppers field).. or maybe some people can't figure what that extra text string comes from..

So, here is the solution..
1- open this PHP file:
/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_virtuemart/cart/default_pricelist.php

2- find this line:
3- and replace with this;
4- So the LOGIN panel will be displayed even if you have "default" value (i.e: shipment) for any shopper field.

5- open this PHP file:
/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_virtuemart/cart/default_address.php

6- find this line:
7- and replace with this;
8- So the ADDRESS panel won't be displayed even if you have "default" value (i.e: shipment)


FYI: Change the Shipment to whatever text/string you are seeing in the shopping cart page. Some people gets "Shipment" but yours might be different. This method works for all scenarios.

FYI #2: This is a case-sensitive operation. So, try both "Shipment" and "shipment". The string must be exactly what is printed on your shopping cart page.

Regards.
