Looks good, I logged into your store and started a checkout. Hope you don't mind, but it seemed to work very well.

Thank you for sharing. I'm off to install on my test site for a bit of a play myself now :)

Let me be the first to ask: what does it do?

Where would the sql file be imported to or installed?

**cycshop** · 24 Apr 2011, 04:12 AM

under admin menu, please select tools => Install SQL Patches, then select sql file import data.

It's very good, thanks.
I have some questions when using it.
1. COWOA is installed firstly.
2. Add "xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" to support IE.

I have used it : fashion wholesale

Found this module late last night and tried to install it. I'm fairly technically capable w/ php & client, server, etc, (maybe i should be way more modest sounding lol) since, I've hit a bit of a wall...

So, first off, I want to say -- I went and tried it on your site first. This module really looks fantastic. Looks like lots of thoughtful user experience click-reduction work has gone into it and really is exactly what I was looking for to hook zen into fb quickly -- plus it's perfect b/c I've already been coding up an integrated contest app so having this & sharing app ID's should only help spread the love.

So -- thank you so much for the contribution.

Unfortunately I've poured through the code and can't get it to work.

Critical fails poped up multiple times during the execution process, this is no doubt due to the "Easy Signup" module and the COWOA modules I've installed (I guess I should say I speculate, instead of sounding so sure of myself) -- SQL was the first place it failed -- COWOA had gotten wiped from the customer table.

I fixed that, added it back to the table. Re ran some SQL cmds, etc... man zen cart really needs some abstract protected interface methods for it's modules.... but, anyways.... I was able to restore.

Now, it gets past the index.php=login and goes to index.php=facebook --- in the facebook module, it fails.
Actually, to be more precise, it never enters into the first case statement around $_POST , ie, if( defined($_POST[ ..... ) {

It doesn't get in there because $_POST is undefined. Tried echo, printr and frwite of $_POST to a file but all came back with NADA. So, the most important SESSION variables are getting lost somewhere along the line it looks like -- problem is I don't really know zencart's chain of execution well enough from when fb: button is hit to what is supposed to happen -- and then, what is the crap on my server that is almost definitely overriding what is supposed to happen.... then, by the time the ENV of the server gets to call your script it's all cleared out?

I don't know, I'm grasping now. Going to go dig into the scripts and try to find do some execution tracing, safely installing, debugging and generally sandboxing a zencart module seems...uh, not really possible - so, not surprised there are conflicts like this in the code with other stuff you couldn't have anticipated.
Really appreciate help figuring it out and solving any problems if you can! Thank you!!

Please help.. I have 1.38a version and i get blank screen on homepage. I've done everything right with the installation.

Ok. I have it installed exactly as described in the read me file.

I am using 1.3.9h and all works fine until you hit the proceed button after entering your information. When I do this, this is the error I get

1054 Unknown column 'COWOA_account' in 'where clause'
in:
[select count(*) as total from customers where customers_email_address = 'myemailaddress@mine.com' and COWOA_account != 1]

I visited the fashion shop and I love how it automatically with one click creates the account.

How do I get rid of this error and do exactly what the fashion shop has done?

Most likely, you haven't followed the file structure correctly or you replaced files that you have previously modified with other customizations and didn't use a comparison tool to make sure no template specific file were affected when you uploaded these new files.

IE winmerge.
