Checkout Amazon Style -- Support Thread

[hedera]

Thanks for the link to Checkout Without Account - I went looking for it when you mentioned it in another post, but couldn't find it - the words in the name are too generic for the search engine, I guess. That is in fact exactly what we need, we really can't afford to have that password requirement there. I'll give that a shot. It would be nice if we weren't the 3rd or 4th site to use it but you can't have everything.

When a new customer adds something to their cart, then clicks on Checkout, goes to the mod's login screen, enters their email address and chooses, I am a new customer. (You'll create a password later), are they supposed to be taken directly to the billing information /account creation page?

If so, then the mod is working perfectly for me.

If not, then oops, got problems!

Yes they are.

Cool.

will this work in 1.3.8

[hedera]

Theoretically it should but I've never tried it; I'm running 1.3.7. The wiki has files for the 1.3.8 version of ZC, which I think craftzombie put up.

Hi,

will this work in 1.3.8

I've not had a chance to fully test the Checkout Amazon Style mod in ZC v1.3.8 yet.

Christian.

You are talking about a completely different mod. I think you are talking about the COWOA mod, this is the support thread for Checkout Amazon Style.

One suggestion for the feature versions

in file:

includes/modules/pages/checkout_login/header_php.php


comment this line:
$_SESSION['cart']->restore_contents();

so it looks:

//$_SESSION['cart']->restore_contents();

then add this:

if (SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_COMBINED > 0) {
          $zc_check_basket_before = $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents();
        }

        // bof: not require part of contents merge notice
        // restore cart contents
        $_SESSION['cart']->restore_contents();
        // eof: not require part of contents merge notice

        // check current cart contents count if required
        if (SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_COMBINED > 0 && $zc_check_basket_before > 0) {
          $zc_check_basket_after = $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents();
          if (($zc_check_basket_before != $zc_check_basket_after) && $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0 && SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_COMBINED > 0) {
            if (SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_COMBINED == 2) {
              // warning only do not send to cart
              $messageStack->add_session('header', WARNING_SHOPPING_CART_COMBINED, 'caution');
            }
 // check current cart contents count if required
            if (SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_COMBINED == 1) {
              // show warning and send to shopping cart for review
              $messageStack->add_session('shopping_cart', WARNING_SHOPPING_CART_COMBINED, 'caution');
              zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'));
}
}
}

This way, if cart was combined (products added to cart before, but not purchased), the login page redirects to cart, and displays warning.

Hi CJPinder. First of all, thanks for creating this mod. I have had a few people recently leave my site from my split login page after adding to their cart and I strongly suspect the reason was because of the whole "account" thing. I like this mod as it makes it all seem easier, quicker and perhaps more importantly avoids certain words. Every Zen Cart needs this.

I haven't installed it yet because I'm not sure about a couple of things. I can see that many of the files are new and don't replace anything. However, I noticed that in includes\templates\template_default\templates, there is a file tpl_checkout_account_default.php which looks like it has all the components for the new account sign up page. I understand how your mod works and that this page is different from the standard one because it automatically inserts the email address previously entered from the last page. But.. my sign up page is already modded with a few contributions (captcha, how did you hear about us etc) and I don't want it to be overwritten with the one from your mod. What do I need to do?

All you need to do is copy tpl_checkout_account_default.php from template_default to your template override directory and then alter it in the same way you did the tpl_modules_create_account.php file.
