COWOA (for ZC v1.5.x)

[ianhg]

I have the 2.6 beta version installed in my test site. I just want to make people aware of a problem I was having.
I was getting an ajax error during the checkout process, when I went from the payment page to the confirmation page, for the COD and Paypal modules (these are both modules where credit cards are NOT accepted on the site. I did not get the error for authorizenet_aim, where credit cards ARE accepted on the site.) I got the error when I was checking out as a logged-in user, not as a guest.
The way I finally fixed this problem was by doing a comparison between the includes/templates folders of 1.5.3 and 1.5.4, and then checking to see if I had made all those changes to my template files.
I found that includes/templates/mytemplatedir/templates/tpl_checkout_payment_default.php had a couple of changes, and the version I had installed from COWOA did not have these changes. They were the following changes:
1.5.3:

<?php echo zen_draw_form('checkout_payment', zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_CONFIRMATION, '', 'SSL'), 'post', ($flagOnSubmit ? 'onsubmit="return check_form();"' : '')); ?>

1.5.4:

<?php echo zen_draw_form('checkout_payment', zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_CONFIRMATION, '', 'SSL'), 'post'); ?>

1.5.3:

<div class="buttonRow forward"><?php echo zen_image_submit(BUTTON_IMAGE_CONTINUE_CHECKOUT, BUTTON_CONTINUE_ALT, 'onclick="submitFunction('.zen_user_has_gv_account($_SESSION['customer_id']).','.$order->info['total'].')"'); ?></div>

1.5.4:

<div class="buttonRow forward" id="paymentSubmit"><?php echo zen_image_submit(BUTTON_IMAGE_CONTINUE_CHECKOUT, BUTTON_CONTINUE_ALT, 'onclick="submitFunction('.zen_user_has_gv_account($_SESSION['customer_id']).','.$order->info['total'].')"'); ?></div>

I hope this can help someone else avoid some frustration, and pulling out of hair!

Thank you for posting this it is interesting, because I have an issue with an ajax error message on check out. Can you please tell me the message that you received? I am getting "An unknown response null: :null: : was received while processing an ajax call. The action you requested could not be completed" at stage after entering payment details using PayPal Pro. Strange thing is that I have used this on other sites on the same server without any problems, although they are either using a different gateway or PayPal standard.
I am using COWOA 2.4
Thanks

Friendly hint...

COWOA 2.4 was written a long time ago and is not compatible with Zen Cart 1.5.4. There is a beta version, search this thread, available for 1.5.4

I have used this version on shops running 1.5.4 with no problem. You really can not say it is not compatible it does work. But it would make since to upgrade to the beta version since it is out. It has a lot of bug fixes.

Thanks for this.. I've updated the GitHub repo accordingly..

ianhg, you might want to take a look at this thread that I started, when I was trying to troubleshoot this problem. I didn't initially realize that it was related to COWOA, so I started a new thread in "Upgrading Your Zen Cart". You can see it here:
https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....uring-checkout
The error that I got is the same one that you mentioned. When I went from the "checkout payment" page to the "checkout confirm" page, the error would flash briefly on the screen, and then disappear. I could only see what the error was by doing a screen capture.
I was able to fix the problem by changing the 2 lines in includes/templates/mytemplatefolder/tpl_checkout_payment_default.php as I described above.
Are you currently using Zencart 1.5.4? These changes were made to this template file between 1.5.3 and 1.5.4.

Hi earth-friendly
Thanks for the reply this also sorted my problem. I am using Zen cart 1.5.4 but it seems to depend on the payment method as other sites don't appear to have the issue. Really appreciate you posting this information. Thanks

I finally had a chance to work on finalizing the COWOA Font Awesome integration.. COWOA beta has been updated as of today with the following changes:

• Replace the step arrow images with Font Awesome glyphs. (step arrow images are now obsolete)
• The progress bar 100% CSS (progress bar image is now obsolete)
• Fix an old outstanding issue with the default Zen Cart admin index.php file. Correct "rihgt" class in the admin index.php file to "right".
• Updates to template files to ensure that they ALL are using the current v1.5.4 files.

I need folks to install and TEST this. I would like to FINALLY submit this version to the downloads.

Hi
I'm currently installing into a new zc_v1.5.4 in preparation for upgrading a v1.5.1 site.
I'm using Beyond Compare on a Mac to do file by file companions and edits
So far I've installed, in order:
mod_list.zip
backup_zc_v1.zip
Image_Handler4_v4_3_2.zip
admin_new_customer_3.zip
edit_orders-414.zip
admin_new_orders_1.zip
supertracker_1.1.zip
zen_TyPackageTracker-3.1.4a.zip
zen_COWOA-2.6.zip

No obvious problems, with limited testing. Now I'm installing Super Orders 4_0_9.
In that package I'm guessing I should be skipping "2a_Modified_Core_Files" and instead installing "2b_Modified_Core_Files-COWOA"
As I wade through the edits in /super_orders_4-0-9/2b_Modified_Core_Files-COWOA/includes/classes/order.php I'm encountering interference that I don't know how to resolve. Specifically whether COWOA_2.6 code should take precedence over Super_Orders code or vice versa.
Here's an example of the current state of this file after the install of COWOA 2.6 but before Super Orders:

      // Add extra heading stuff via observer class
      $this->extra_header_text = '';
      $this->notify('NOTIFY_ORDER_INVOICE_CONTENT_FOR_ADDITIONAL_EMAILS', array('zf_insert_id' => $zf_insert_id, 'text_email' => $email_order, 'html_email' => $html_msg));
      $email_order = $this->extra_header_text . $email_order;
      $html_msg['EMAIL_TEXT_HEADER'] = nl2br($this->extra_header_text) . $html_msg['EMAIL_TEXT_HEADER'];

Super Orders wants me to replace it with this;

      $this->notify('NOTIFY_ORDER_INVOICE_CONTENT_FOR_ADDITIONAL_EMAILS', array('zf_insert_id' => $zf_insert_id, 'text_email' => $email_order, 'html_email' => $html_msg));
      zen_mail('', SEND_EXTRA_ORDER_EMAILS_TO, SEND_EXTRA_NEW_ORDERS_EMAILS_TO_SUBJECT . ' ' . EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT . EMAIL_ORDER_NUMBER_SUBJECT . $zf_insert_id,
      $email_order . $extra_info['TEXT'], STORE_NAME, EMAIL_FROM, $html_msg, 'checkout_extra', $this->attachArray);

There are other examples in this file and in orders.php too. Eg

          and pad.products_attributes_filename = '" . $db->prepare_input($chk_products_download->fields['orders_products_filename']) . "'

          and pad.products_attributes_filename = '" . $chk_products_download->fields['orders_products_filename'] . "'

I'm not a coder per se although as a long time user of zen cart I've sort of become a reasonable tester/debugger. What I'm concerned here is that apparent changes in coding conventions (between v1.5.1 and 1.5.4) are just enough to confuse me at a time when the instructions in the readme flies for SO, EO, TY and the Add Customers/Orders plugins all say to let SO overwrite the order.php files.

I feel my options are either to just follow the instructions and blindly copy over, or ignore the instructions and let COWOA 2.6 dominate, or hardest of all, try to be intelligent about it and second guess the meaning of the differences.

Is there any general advice to be found here?

I haven't even looked at the COWOA specific files in Super Orders.. Don't know when I'll be able to get to that just yet.. I'll TRY to take a look this weekend (NO promises) In the meantime, I'm hoping that another community member can chime in..

I attempted to install this, it did a real good job jacking my site up to the point I can't even login as an admin. You really need to make it clear there is more than one YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to rename. I found and renamed all of them but now my site gives a "Server Error 500" error whenever attempting to go to the website (as a customer) or to login as an admin.

How do I fix this?

Ummm.. okay... Lots of folks have had NO issues installing this module.. and IF they do have issues.. they generally don't describe it as "jacking up" thier site.. Most issues can usually be traced to small installation mistakes..

but now my site gives a "Server Error 500" error whenever attempting to go to the website (as a customer) or to login as an admin.

The community is generally happy to help. What woud help is better details than "jacked up".. Can you look at your error logs, and tell us what the error logs say..

You really need to make it clear there is more than one YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to rename.

In addition to providing a full list of the files included in the module, the COWOA readme states:

Change and Rename all the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder names in the New_Installation/1_Store_Files/includes folders to match the name of your template's folder name

Not sure how much clearer the current readme could be, but if you would like to give us a better way to state this that would have made it clearer for you, I'd be happy to update the readme accordingly..

Which log(s) do you need?
