Removing LOGIN LOGOUT function completely

[coolglobal]

I would like to completely remove the need for the customer to LOGIN or LOGOUT, and not have these option on my site.

The payment method is solely PayPal Express.

Can anyone see any problem with me removing all links to log in or log out, including the checkout button.

What I want to achieve is a store where the customer just selects their items and then checks out with the PayPal Express Button.

It appears that this system has been achieved at: obeygiant.com/store

Thanks in advance.

I did not specifically look at the site you referenced but why do you not contact them directly to assertain specifically what they have done?

comment out the code for the if switch for login and logout in /includes/templates/YOUR TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

then comment out the checkout button on tpl_shopping_cart.php

Sorry what do you mean by "comment out"? delete? if so, which part specifically to delete?
would you be kind enough to elaborate a little bit?





My tpl_header.php looks like:
<!--bof-header logo and navigation display-->
<?php
if (!isset($flag_disable_header) || !$flag_disable_header) {
?>

<div id="headerWrapper">
<!--bof-navigation display-->
<div id="navMainWrapper">
<div id="navMain">
<ul class="back">
<li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>
<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>
<?php
} else {
if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
?>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></a></li>
<?php } } ?>

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
<?php }?>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="navMainSearch forward"><?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?></div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>
<!--eof-navigation display-->

[attaboyleisure]

has anyone worked out the solution for this yet ?

There are a couple of mods in the Free Software Add Ons (link top-left) which accomplish this -- more or less.
