[quote="networkdad"][quote="Redmanmike"]In keeping with the flavor of trying to streamline the user experience. Can anyone tell me how ( after applying the mods here) to skip the "Your Account Has Been Created!" screen. I know I can change the wording there but I think the idea is just to send the customer onto the checkout screen if the creation was sucessfull.
After all in general more clicking leads to more abadonment.(up for debate of course, but I have seen the proof  8) )[/quote]

Sure, at the bottom of /catalog/create_account_process.php

[code]tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT_SUCCESS, '', 'SSL'));
[/code]

Change to whatever link you want...[/quote]

I haven't read the entire thread yet so sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but what would one write if the customer came from the shopping_cart and has something in their cart and you want to go to checkout_shipping, but if they have nothing in their cart and are merely creating a new account directly, you want them to go to create_account_success?
