I am creating the most rudementary progress bar ever. Since my checkouts are all the same (individual register) I am going to create a 4 step progress bar png picture such as.
Step1: Enter Info ----> Step 2: Confirm Price ----> Step 3: Payment Info ---> Step 4: Confirmation
Then I'll split it up into 4 separate png's and highlight each one for each step. Then I'll add the pngs into the top of the php files before the text.
Php files:
/components/com_dtregister/views/event/tmpl/individualregister.php
/components/com_dtregister/views/event/tmpl/confirm.php
components/com_dtregister/views/payment/tmpl/billinginfo.php
We use authorize.net for all payments; not sure if that matters.
Adding this code at the top:<div>
<img src="http://www.mysite.com/joomla/images/dtregister/eventpics/progresspictures.png" alt="myalttext" />
</div>
I'll update my progress as I go. I likely will not finish for 2-3 weeks because I am on vacation from Thursday (05/08 to 05/17).
If anybody knows an easier way or a better way let me know; my way seems pretty quick instead of learning to code it correctly.
