Lite Checkout Modification

Hi,basically I was not happy when new lite checkout was made after 4.10 upgrade,I was considering to use some 3rd party addons,but is there way to change at least few following things in checkout ?

1. Set First name and Last name in two separate columns ?

2.Avoiding disturbing large click button to set or update customer´s location ?

I would like to avoid having to use checkout addon,but how is standart lite checkout configured,it is not good,lot of customers fail to add correct shipping/billing details.Also we have more abandoned carts or unfinished orders.Obviously customers are fighting with checkout form.

CS-CART team,if anybody is reading my post,please think and create better checkout in future versions.Current one is bad !


1. Set First name and Last name in two separate columns ?

design/themes/responsive/templates/views/checkout/components/profile_fields.tpl
Try to replace
{$name_field_names = [“firstname”, “lastname”, “s_firstname”, “s_lastname”, “b_firstname”, “b_lastname”]}
with
{$name_field_names = []}
Then clear cache
