COWOA (for ZC v1.5.x)

[ShopVille]

As standard accounts, yes you can be there password safe.

As COWOA or Guest accounts, no they are blocked as none account holders.

This is my concern... I want them checked out as guests but essentialy create an account.

Basically the user skips the "step" for account creation but the anyways enter all details we need for their account (besides password)

I just installed COWOA on www.alanachurch.com/library and it totally messed up the site appearance. The main box is now blue, the logo has disappeared, text links have appeared where none should be, and none of the listings fit in the main box anymore.

I took the precaution of downloading the entire site first before I very carefully installed the module, so when this happened, I re-uploaded all the files and then ran the Uninstall_COWOA.sql in the SQL Query Executor as instructed. It keeps telling me "WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again." And the errors have not been corrected.

The site owner is REALLY upset, and this needs to be fixed immediately. Please help?? Thank you!



Update: Okay, that's really strange...five minutes later, and we didn't do a single thing to it...suddenly the site is showing up properly again. Could anyone please explain why installing the script messed things up that way? We'd really like to get it installed, and don't know what we did wrong. Thanks!

COWOA has many changes to template and core files. I would not suggest drag and drop. Use a compare program and edit to match your site design. Editing a copy of the site on a testing server or a sub-domain would help.

Your browser cache it or cached on a server until the cached copy was refreshed you would not see the changes. Another reason to design and test local before going live.

Much of the template edits are based on the default ZC design.

It keeps telling me "WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again." And the errors have not been corrected.

The SQL error could be many things.. Without access to the site or more info not allot to go on.

I've not used COWOA sense designing COWAA.

A great lesson in doing every site change, even little tiny ones, on a cloned test site and never a live site!!! You may need to omit or change CSS rules in the stylesheet so they match your site's style. Also, pay attention to all element classes and IDs in the new code in case your template is using non-standard-zen-cart classes and IDs.

trying to figure this out how to use this for one page checkout if possible. I am guessing don't use no_account page but go to one page checkout page. Anyone?

[tmccaff]

got that fixed. Weird thing is COWOA settings not being displayed on configuration but when I Enter GID it goes to that. Any Ideas why?

My client is running ZC V1.5.1. When I told them I could configure their store site so that customers could buy and not have to register, they were thrilled.

I downloaded the plugin and unzipped. As I was reading through the cowoa-readme.html file I discovered what seem to be some GLARING errors in the installation tab involving directory structure and file name errors. Here they are:

Core Zen Cart files Modified (APPARENT ERRORS):

1. YOUR_ADMIN/orders.php
2. YOUR_ADMIN/customers.php
3. YOUR_ADMIN/index.php
4. includes/classes/order.php
5. includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php
6. includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/checkout_confirmation.php
7. includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/checkout_payment.php
8. includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/checkout_process <-- Filename incorrect!!!
9. includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/checkout_shipping.php
10. includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/gv_redeem.php
11. includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/login.php
12. includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/logoff.php
13. includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/time_out.php
14. includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/create_account.php

23. includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_checkout_success.php
24. includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_login_default.php
25. includes/filenames.php

And this is how it seems it should be to match my directory structure:

1. YOUR_ADMIN/orders.php
2. YOUR_ADMIN/customers.php
3. YOUR_ADMIN/index.php
4. includes/classes/order.php
5. includes/languages/english.php Corrected!!

24. includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_login_default.php
25. includes/filenames.php

Under the Core COWOA Files setion it looks like a couple lines are not correct:

3. includes/extra_datafiles/order_status_filenames.php
4. includes/language/english/extra_definitions/checkout_process.php
5. includes/language/english/extra_definitions/order_status.php
6. includes/language/english/extra_definitions/order_steps_defines.php
7. includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/no_account.php Does not match my directory structure (no "YOUR_TEMPLATE") and I'm not sure where these should go. Do I create the YOUR_TEMPLATE/ directory?
8. includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/order_status.php Does not match my directory structure (no "YOUR_TEMPLATE") and I'm not sure where these should go. Do I create the YOUR_TEMPLATE/ directory?

Since I'm testing this in a dev environment I'm going to do the install as it matches my directory structure. But I'd like some feedback on this to see if my assumptions are correct. If this document, that came with the download is, indeed, incorrect, it would be nice to see a correction.

Not errors.. YOUR_ADMIN is to be replaced with what ever the admin folder was named! With YOUR_TEMPLATE changed to what ever you named the template folder to... The names are only place holders as the install instructions point out...
