question

What templates are available for inclusion in a Template Package, and which storefront page is each one used on?

A Template Package can contain as little as one template, and up to (roughly) 35 templates. Following is a list of each template that is available, and how each one is used by the shopping cart software.

affiliate_account_login.tpl
Allows affiliates to log in to their Affiliate/Customer Account Area. For example, contains an HTML form to submit data required for an affiliate to log in to their account area.

Storefront URL: http://www.example.com/aff_login.php

affiliate_registration.tpl
Displays form non-affiliates can use to sign up for a store's Affiliate Program. For example, contains an HTML form to submit data required for affiliate account creation.

Storefront URL: http://www.example.com/aff_register.php

affiliate_tid_stats.tpl - New in MMv4
Displays analytical information for a selected affiliate Tracking ID number, such as number of hits, sales, conversion ratio and other statistics.

Storefront URL: http://www.example.com/aff_tid_stats.php

basket.tpl
Page that displays the contents of the customers cart for review during the shopping process.

Storefront URL: http://www.example.com/basket.php

category.tpl
The default template that is applied to category pages in the storefront. A category can be edited to have a different template applied to it.

Storefront URL: http://www.example.com/category.php

checkout_X.tpl - Renamed in MMv4
One or more templates that are applied to the checkout process. The checkout process may contain any number of pages. Change "X" in the name of the template with the number of the checkout step.

The checkout process starts with the checkout_1.tpl file. Then, when a checkout page is submitted, the system will automatically reload the checkout page with the checkout_2.tpl file applied to it, and so on, until the credit card field is submitted. Once a page containing a credit card field is submitted, the system will load the checkout receipt page instead.

Prior to MMv4, the checkout templates were named checkoutX.tpl. (Note the underscore that has been added between "checkout" and ".template" as of MMv4.)

Storefront URL: http://www.example.com/checkout.php

checkout_receipt.tpl
When a customer successfully submits their payment information, the checkout receipt page will be loaded.

Storefront URL: http://www.example.com/checkout_receipt.php

checkout_receipt_print.tpl

Storefront URL: http://www.example.com/checkout_receipt_print.php

contact_form.tpl
By default, displays the company address and contact information from the Company Information section of the System Settings, as well as a form that visitors may use to send an email to the store email address specified in the System Settings.

Storefront URL: http://www.example.com/contact_form.php

contact_info.tpl - New in MMv4
It's suggested that the company information from the System Settings, or other details on how to contact your company, be included on this page.

customer_account_X.tpl
Each page of the customer's Account Area will have a different template applied to it. The customer Account Area may contain any number of pages, and therefore, templates. Change "X" in the template name with the number of the customer Account Area page.

The customer Account Area can be used to display a customer's order history, upcoming subscriptions, contact information, billing options, and more.

As of MMv4, affiliates are also customers, and content that was previously posted in the affiliate's Account Area has been moved to the customer's Account Area.

Storefront URL: http://www.example.com/customer.php

customer_account_login.tpl
Allows customers to log in to their Customer/Affiliate Account Area. For example, contains an HTML form to submit data required for a customer to log in to their account area.

On the "checkout_special.php" page, the customer will be presented with an additional product that they can place an order for by clicking a button. There is also a button for the customer to click if they wish to decline the offer to purchase the additional product. If the customer declines to purchase a 1-Click upsell product, then the downsell.tpl file is applied to the next product in the chain.

ospg_subscription_processor.tpl
This template is used by the off-site payment gateway subscription renewal page.

The link actually leads to the ospg_subscription_processor.php page, but if the subscription is due, then the page automatically redirects to PayPal. If the subscription is not yet due, then the ospg_subscription_processor.php page does not redirect, and is displayed with the ospg_subscription_processor.tpl template applied.
