If anyone wants to test it out, it's on http://www.dreamofrussia.com (live store - please use "testing" in your name so I know what's going on :cool:)

Cheers

How did you do this? I have 2 payment options, so I probably have to make it 3 pages, but less checkout pages would be great!!

After sending the SQL patch, I got a message in red "NOTE: Zen Cart database-upgrade scripts should NOT be run from this page.
Please upload the new zc_install folder and run the upgrade from there instead for better reliability."

Is that expected, or did I do something wrong?

Download my mod from: http://sasha1962.powweb.com/checkoutsystem.zip

It's only been tested with 1 payment system, I'll have a look at making it work with more in the future... I *think* that if you use more than one payment option it will choose paypal as default, with the option to edit payment options in the checkout_confirmation. Unfortunately I'm very busy with university exams at the moment (they start tomorrow) so I won't be able to provide any detailed support for a while. If you decide to try it out, just back everything up :cool:

Alright, sorry for the delay guys. I've got the box moved to the top, as you can see in the new screen shot:

I've repackaged the new layout into the zip, but it's just a matter of replacing two files.

includes/languages/english/your_template/login.php
includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_login_default.php

login.php
tpl_login_default.php

Of course, if you've already customized either of these files files then it isn't just a simple overwrite...unless you want to lose your changes. Let me know if you need any help and I can give more detailed instructions.

Oh, I also felt like the header needed changing from "Welcome, Please Login," since logging in is no longer the main emphasis. But, I don't think "Welcome, Please Choose How to Proceed" is that great either. Looking for any ideas. Mind the fact of course that both 'Login' and 'Checkout' link to the page.

I just d/l the mod and before I get too excited or started in the install, are there any mySql or php version limitations? Can any template and OS be used?

thank you,

betty

I'm having a hard time getting that first file, login.php. Maybe the system here (OS X) reserves that file name in some odd way. It doesn't matter what I try, it does not appear where I download it to. The other file does, however. Maybe you could zip them together? Or are they now part of the full download?

Never mind -- just reread your post and you say it's part of the full package, so I'll just go get that.

Thanks!

Double-never mind. Just downloaded the full COWOA from your wiki page and it does not contain the new files.

AWESOME MOD! Thank you! It's just what I have been looking for! ZC should come with this mod enabled by default! When I shop online, I hate it when the site forces me to create another user name and password to remember on top of the 30+ that I already have to keep track of. It also discourages me to shop online where they force you to make a user name and password just to check out. It's extremely nice to have the option of a quick checkout.

If anybody wants to see another site in action with this mod enabled, checkout my new cane site!

If you make a test purchase, please make your first and last name TEST TEST and credit card # 4111-1111-1111-1111

Thank you!

This may have already been mentioned, but once the mod is installed i assume its possible to shut it off if i ever decide i want to force people to register?

I finally got around to installing this. LOL

I have a few questions:

1) I have the Ty Package Tracker installed which automatically sends an email to the customer with their tracking number. This email unforunately includes a link to their invoice. LOL

How can I remove this from the email?


2) I forgot my template had the navigation bar set to be under my header. So when I installed the COWOA, the navigation bar (with home, login) moved up above my header.

Can I just install the mod in the downloads section to move this back down or is there another way?

3) In the admin section, I can't tell if they created an account or not. I'm not seeing a 'dot' after the email address. Am I supposed to?

Thanks in advance!!
