The old version of this mod uses a period at the end of the email address, not the new version. I have been using this mod with no problems at all for several months now, both on 1.3.6 and 1.3.7. What version of this mod are you using? What version of Zen are you using? Have you tried reinstalling the mod? 9 times out of 10, a file didn't transfer properly.Quote:

I need a Spanish and French translation of the COWOA mod. Are these language packs included in the zip file as described above? If not, would it be possible to send me the zip file?Quote:

She tried to create an account but she was told an account already exist with her email address, i suspect it the data that paypal pass back to the site which did that but i am not sure, any had that problem?
I logged in her account using the contribution "Encrypted_Master_Password" successfully but i was not able to reset or creat a password for her since i do not know the current password for that account.
Any idea or help in making COWA to have a password and the user can login? Thanks.
The whole point of COWA is to make the buyer think they've only given you what's needed to ship the product, without creating an account. That's what COWA means: CheckOut Without Account.Quote:

If they can create a password, then the illusion is lost, and the point of installing the mod in the first place is lost.
COWA needs to be a part of Zen core code, and the ability to 'upgrade' a user from COWA status to account status just by adding a password needs to be part of Zen core code too. I don't think it would be possible (meaning cost effective) to add this to Zen from the outside. It needs to be part of the core code.

I think you missed part of my question, since the customer used paypal and paypal transmit the data back to the site and now the customer can not create an account because he/she told that they have an account with us.
Was it paypal express? there is a setting in the admin panel that deals with an account being automatically created if the customer doesn't already have one and this can be set to true or false. Have you tried changing it to false?Quote:

If that doesn't work for any reason, have you tried the mass reset customer password mod? You reset their password by inserting a mySQL statement into you database through phpMyAdmin. Here's the link:

You just need to look up their customer ID in the admin/customers panel and insert that into the SQL statement along with the new password.
Let me know if that sorts it out for you. I think that everyone the uses paypal and COWA will run into this problem.

The payment type as indicated in the order is PayPal (not sure if that paypal or paypal express since i have both options on the site).Quote:

She said that she did that and nothing happened (what is nothing happened? i do not know since i can not replicate the process.Quote:

I did not use that mode (i will try it later on) but this is what i did, i logged in her account using the master password and i tried to change the password but i could not since the current password required. I tried the master password i used to login to the account and it did not work, i tried to leave it blank but i got a message that the password should be at least 5 characters long.Quote:

In the admin panel go to modules/payment. Click on paypal express and choose the 'edit' button. Scroll down the edit box until you see the option to set the automatic account creation and set it to false, then save your settings. See if that does it, I haven't tried but I saw that function and thought it might help.Quote:

If nothing else, you can always delete the customer through your admin panel so she can start over.
Good luck!

Thanks Matt.
I set it up to false, i will have a friend try it for me since i was never been able to get the sandbox account to work.
I appreciate your help.
