Okay, this means you are missing some files. Try re-installing

install\includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_modules_no_account.php

and

install\includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_no_account_default.php

If thats not it, you'll have to try re-installing everything. Somewhere along the way, you have missed some files.

Thanks for that Craftzombie. Had missed a couple of files out, but got it all working now. Thank you for your help on this.

Without going back through 64 pages of postings, is there an easy way to remove elements from the page such as telephone number, or is Cowoa directly linked into the main zen cart files?

Thanks..

You can make the phone optional or remove it completely. To do either one, you must do step 1 from this link:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...24&postcount=2

To make it optional, continue doing step 2.

To remove the phone completely, do step 1, but then go to

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_no_account.php,

and remove this:

Code:

---

<br class="clearBoth" />
<label class="inputLabel" for="telephone"><?php echo ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('telephone', '', zen_set_field_length(TABLE_CUSTOMERS, 'customers_telephone', '40') . ' id="telephone"') . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>

You can do the same thing to the regular Zen sign up page by removing similar code from includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_create_account.php.

You can most likely remove other elements on the page(s) in the same manner. I haven't tried all of them, so I am not sure which ones will or will not work. But you probably have to make adjustment in the admin for those as well.

Thanks for all the help Craftzombie, it really is much appreciated. As I use Paypal (IPN) for processing, I didn't want customers to end up putting too many fields on there.

I had tried the disable registration mod by IVUM, but as it doesn't give you any opportunity to enter your location, it is totally incapable of working out shipping. The Cowoa solution is far more workable option.

It had to be said, that the people on here are more friendly and helpful than on the Cubecart forums. Glad I made the switch.

Thanks again.

No problem! When I have time, I am glad to help anyone.

Has anyone else implemented the mod posted by barnmania back in April 2007 that allows people not logged in to write reviews? Are there any issues with that? Does moderation work if this is done?

I have a page of reviews written on our old site which I would like to put on the ZC site - how would I get them into the system, with the associated names and initials? There are 43 of them, so the prospect of adding them all, one at a time, is kind of daunting. I'd like to just put them on the Reviews page, but since it's database driven I'm not sure that will work.

Any suggestions?

For everyone's information, I have this working and it looks great - but I've decided to put a link to the old reviews on the product page, rather than add them into the database, because the database date-stamps them, and I don't have dates, the comments go back 3-5 years. But in case you wondered, it's perfectly possible to have reviews without login, thanks to barnmania's mod.

I having a little trouble with the Zen-Cart checkout without account feature. If I'm not mistaken this feature is standard, so what is this mod for?

Please pardon me for my ignorance.:blush:
I'm trying to find a thread about this Zen-Cart feature, but only came across your thread.

thanks

Checkout Without Account and PayPal Express are are not the same thing. After looking at your site, I am assuming this is what you mean. This mod allows a customer to checkout without having to enter a password and without having to use PayPal.

Thanks. I understand now. I do like this mod, so I will install and test before putting it into production.
