I have set up a Zen Cart (1.38a) shop on my school intranet to give students some online shopping experiences, using make-believe products. I've spent many hours changing files and settings to suit needs but I'd desperately love some advice on any of the following:
We do not use email. I've changed some files to bypass registraering and login need for email. Can I get the final stage of the checkout process to direct to another page (ie, a receipt page), as the email error message takes over. The sale goes through but there's no confirmation and the items remain in the shopping cart.
I'm trying to use Gift Certificates disguised as Credit Card numbers for students to use. This works fine to some extent but is not ideal. For instance, I've had to set up a payment option of check/money order but this means students can buy whatever they like regardless of their available balance. Can I bypass the "Payment Method Required" message? Or, better still, does anyone know of a way to simulate credit card payment using any of the included modules.
When there is not enough balance available on the gift voucher or discount coupon, can I simply get a message saying "insufficient funds", and allow cancellation of the order?
It may be a tall order but I'd really like to be able to implement the shop so that it reflects real life as closely as possible, and suggestions on the above would be great.
Many thanks
Niven
