Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod
I installed the COWOA for zen 1.3.8 Everything seems to work ok (crossing fingers) however, if a customer has had an account in the past and uses the same email, i get this red warning thing saying they cannot cowoa because that address is already in the system. Is there a way to bypass this? Did i miss some instruction somewhere? Any help would be appreciated.
thanks!

That is how it works. If a customer has previously created a "real" account, they cannot use COWOA after that, with the same email address. Why would they want to if their info is already saved?
Now, if they have used COWOA and continue to use COWOA, then that is fine. They should not be getting any red warnings. They can COWOA and then also create an account later and still not get a warning. But once they create a real account, they must always sign in and cannot use COWOA.

I see. Yes some of my customers create accounts and then forget their passwords, dont understand how to retrieve said password and if they get that far, dont understand that they need to change their password to something they can remember after retrieving the password that was given to them to get into their account. See where I am going here? LOL Many of my customers are not as computer savvy as others.
So....what they do is just go to place the order without creating an account. And boom! that red box jumps up at them and they run like little school girls from the big bad bully, never to return.
You know how fragile I am with zen cart :shocking: many of my customers are that fragile with even being on the computer. Just trying to make it as stress free as possible, ya know?
thanks for the info!

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod
Has anyone noticed this mod creating two entries in the database for the same customer if they use COWOA? Like it is performing twice and assigning a new customers_id each time...

Not for me. I was in my database a few days ago, deleting all of the cowoa customers, and there was only one instance of each of them.

Hi,
I installed the cowoa, everything seems well but when I over-ridden tpl_header.php @ /includes/templates/zcen/common/tpl_header.php
as following pcit shows;
Now I have no choice but do not ovr ride the original tpl_header.php.

That is why instructions are included to manually install the code into files that you do not want to override.

Install the SQL using your Zen Cart admin panel..
Admin>Tools>Install SQL Patches
Best not to use the upload feature, just copy and paste the script into the large box and then click Send.
