Order the free book in the left sidebar. You'll see the error crop up when you use the COWOA checkout. :-)

Thanks for the heads up about this being an adult site..

As temp workaround, go to this file: includes/modules/custom_template/no_account.php
Try modifying lines 217-218 as follows:

217 $firstname = Valued ;
218 $lastname = Customer;

Please note there is a space after "Valued". This is UNTESTED, but it should work..

Just wanted to add some notes here.. I will be looking into a BETTER long term solution. Apparently the module for the no_account.php page fills in No_account for ALL the fields except the email field when the cart total is zero. What I posted is a bandaid fix and will address the issue, but it is not a good long term solution IMHO.

Shouldn't there be quotes around the variable values:

Code:

---

  217  $firstname = 'Valued ';
  218  $lastname = 'Customer';

That's what I thought too.. Interestingly they aren't in the current code..

Personally I think that when the cart value is $0.00 that instead of blocking all fields except the e-mail address field the full name name AND email address should AT LEAST be collected when the cart value is $0.00. That is the long term solution I will be looking at..

I'm happy to be your guinea pig. :P

The good news is that the e-mail came out absolutely perfect. On the shopping cart, though, there was no space visible between the words Valued and Customer; for some reason it crammed them together into one word. But no complaints...this has been bothering us ever since we installed the COWOA. Even ValuedCustomer is much, much better than calling them a no-account! LOL

Now if I can just get rid of the "TEXT_CHECKOUT_LOGOFF_CUSTOMER" message that has suddenly appeared...

Try changing "Valued" to "Valued-"

or alternatively you can try what lat9 suggests (adding the single quotes) and change the values as follows:

217 $firstname = 'Valued ';
218 $lastname = 'Customer';

or

217 $firstname = 'Valued ';
218 $lastname = 'Customer';

Again, untested.. But see what happens.. If you get a blank page please post the text from the error log..

not only fixed the name problem, but it got rid of that extra error message on the page bottom at the same time. Thank you so much for your help!!! :hug:

One last little thing...now when someone creates a new account (not using the COWOA), the first and last name are run together on the signup screen. LOL The e-mail shows up properly with the space between the first and last name...not sure why the signup screen looks different.

If you have any advice on that, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!

You don't say.. but is this a NEW issue that manifested AFTER making the changes to the "No_account" issue??

I honestly don't know. I didn't try to set up a new user account until someone reported a totally different error with the script last night, which I was able to fix. Then I noticed this little glitch. Since it was so similar to what the No_Account process showed, I thought I'd mention it and see if you had any ideas.
