Did you enter the SQL into Admin>Tools>Install SQL patches? (Step 4 from the install instuctions)

I'm just thinking that if you didn't, then there is no spot in the database for the info to go and maybe that would cause a blank page.

I forgot to mention that whenever someone attempts to add an item to their shopping cart I get a blank page there too. I am not sure if these are related but I'm hopeful that 1 fix will cover both. Thanks. - Karl

Yes I did. I double check that and actually went to the mysql and verified all of the entries at that level as well.

What other mods are you using? Or what changes have you made that would mess with the shopping cart page? Because COWOA would not cause any problems with the shopping cart page like that. COWOA is only adding a new page (no_account) and adds a section to the login page. The shopping cart page is never touched when this mod is uploaded.

I noticed that when I click on "add to cart", it IS taking me to a blank page, but when I go back, that item has been added to the cart. That is also the case with the no_account page. After you get the blank page, go to http://annalena.com/shop/index.php?m...ckout_shipping and you can continue checkout. The information is being registered into the database.

Its really hard to say what could be doing this because I don't know what changes you have made. Have you added other mods? Have you gone into these two files attempting to change their appearance? I say this because I have noticed that, throughout my Zen experience, a blank page is usually the result of white space or an extra character where it shouldn't be, etc.

techdog, even clicking on your logoff links gives a blank page. You have some other issue not related to COWOA.

I will continue digging, I started noticing these issues through the checkout process and some of the COWOA files were not loaded completely. I fixed that and had a few different errors. Only other mods we have installed are Local Sales Tax (WA requires destination based sales tax - don't get me started) and CSS ClickShow Hide - for the category buttons/links. Thanks for your suggestions, I will dig through the code and see what I can find.

I've noticed that the system calls for "FILENAME_NO_ACCOUNT" but there is no such designation within the filenames.php file. Should there be?

No, that is in includes/extra_datafiles/no_account_filenames.php (or includes/extra_datafiles/YOUR_TEMPLATE/no_account_filenames.php)

Hi.

Sorry to say, I removed this after spending a lot of time installing it. Nothing the matter, it wasn't what I thought I needed.

Anyhoo, everything's fine after adjusting the files, but what about the SQL patch? Do I have to undo that...and if yes, how?

Cheers,

Robbie

The SQL patch adds the field COWOA_account to the customers table, and COWOA_order to the orders table. It also inserts one record into the query_builder table.

It certainly would not hurt to just leave those mods in there. However, if you are familiar with SQL, you could delete the added fields and record.
