a site to take alook at is http://secure.nps1.net/puzzler

There are no links that I was able to find. You have a very simple site (which I love) and not a lot of places to look for such a link, so that was easy! I can only think of one thing, and I could be completely wrong, so you'll have to test this. Normally I would, but I have no time today to do so.

Maybe they are waiting too long to checkout??? Since you have it going directly to COWOA and not the login page, they might have been going through the checkout process, then stopped for whatever reason, but then when they tried to proceed, too much time had passed and Zen sent them back to the login page. You could fix this by removing the password fields/returning customer section and the create account sections from the login page completely. Then change the wording of the COWOA section to just say something like "Checkout" instead. Something like in the attached thumbnail below.

There is probably a better way though. I'm sure somehow you could have them sent back to the no_account page rather than the login page by tweaking code somewhere in Zen. Probably in the includes/modules/pages/time_out/header_php.php page, but I wouldn't know how to go about that. You could also try going to includes/filenames.php and changing define('FILENAME_LOGIN', 'login'); to define('FILENAME_LOGIN', 'no_account'); but please test that first. I usually test things first before I suggest them to you guys, but I just can't do it today.

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

I am using COWOA with FEC, when I check out with COWOA and enter a separate shipping address is does not show on the order. However the address is being stored in the customer account. I just don't see it in the order or order confirmation. Any ideas where to look for the problem.

It adds a column to your customers table and puts an X on all cowoa customers, as seen in my admin here:

I installed the admin portion of the COWOA and it appeared worked fine and look OK in the admin panel until I read this post and installed the update.

When I open the admin now, it looks the attached picture.
Any ideas?

I also do not understand what file I change the heading in. I looked in the customer.php file and can't find any occurence of COWOA in there. :-(

Site URL is niagaraicewineshop.com although that is not going to show you the admin issue.

Any and all help always appreciated.

I ended up doing something bad to the setup trying to setup a different mod and basically destroyed the site to point where I started from scratch again.
So I gave up on the other mod and just put in the mods I didn't have any problems with.

So the site is http://niagaraicewineshop.com

The checkout should work but if you can test it....

I also posted another message about an error I got when adding the customer update files. :-(

thanks again

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

While on the subject of the Bluefish mod (#873), my Customers table shows no Action column between the Authorised and the COWOA columns.
Is this part of the COWOA mod?
Could someone enlighten what the Action column does?

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

I'm trying to integrate InternetSecure payment mod and part of their STRICKT requirements is that it shows currency is done in.
On the current checkup page, it only shows the amount of the order but doesn't show that it's in USD (our only currency)
Is there a way to modify the the checkout to show the selected currency?

I have USD as the only currency installed and it shows that on the main page but apparently that is not enough, it has to show at the checkout also.

site is http://niagaraicewineshop.com

Thanks

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

I noticed that on the no_account page using this MOD, it gives you the option to login to your account if you have one, but when you click on it takes you to the temp account settings that you are using.

I thought I would just remove the line that shows this info in checkout_payment.php so I put a comment in front of that line.
This produced an error on the page, 'TEXT_ORIGIN_LOGIN'

So instead I removed the actual text from the page like this on line 15 of the no_account.php file in /includes/languages/english/CUSTOM

Code:

define('TEXT_ORIGIN_LOGIN', '');

(Only remove the text between the single quotes)

Hopes this helps anyone else who noticed this.
If this is a repeat, sorry, this thread is getting pretty long.

Problem resolved. Re-uploaded the entire includes directory so I might have missed a file earlier.

If you go to the site now you'll see that I Mcguivered it to shows US$ in there by the Total but I'm sure there is better (correct) way of doing this and hopefully one that will work for ANY currency used. (Personally I would like to see it near the actual dollar amount if possible)

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

Hello, Boys and Girls!

Just a quick question:

Is this COWOA mode the same thing as the Fast and Easy Checkout from this source ( http://www.numinix.com/zen-cart/temp...t-for-zen-cart )?

thanks!
