  • What on earth is the point of building another one page checkout that's exactly the same as the existing one? Are you just talking about restyling it?

  • What you want to do would certainly be possible, although the steps needed to do it would long, tedious, and error prone. You'd need to copy everything in the Mage_Checkout module, as well as all the templates it renders, as well as its layout xml update file, change the frontname to a new frontname, and change all URL references to use the new frontname, change all the template references to use the new template names, and probably 5 other things I forgot. Whatever time you're trying to save by doing this would be better spent finding a different approach.

  • I cannot fathom why you would want to do this. Maybe you can explain your end goal, as just duplicating the current checkout makes no sense.

Reset to default

Just copy the template/checkout folder into your own theme.

If your checkout folder is in app/design/base/default/frontend/tempalate/checkout then copy that into app/design/default/yourcustomtheme/checkout and set your design to that theme. Then you can do whatever you want to onepage or the cart page, whatever you want.
