COWOA (for ZC v1.5.x)

[DivaVocals]

Since NOTHING you posted here in the way of instructions matches ANYTHING from the current readme, I have to ask.. WHAT version of COWOA did you download and install?? If you have downloaded a version from ANYWHERE other than the free add-ons here on this site, you need to go back to other thread for help.. As the FIRST page of this threads states, this support thread is for COWOA for Zen Cart v1.5.. You sound like you've installed something else..

I asked this question over at http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...-Mod&p=1214331, THEN saw the "gentle reminder," so I'm reposting it here.

I just installed this mod, and it's partly working, but partly not. I've read through several dozen pages worth of posts, and my head is spinning. So rather than drive myself absolutely crazy going through 118 pages, I'm going to throw myself on the mercy of the forum, and simply ask for help. I apologize, in advance, if the answers to my questions have already been given, and I simply didn't find them.

>> STEP 1 - Change the "YOUR_TEMPLATE" directory names to the name of your actual template under the install/includes/templates.

Did this, no problem.

>> ****** STEP 1A has been Added
STEP 1a - In your custom template son your cart, edit the tpl_header.php file and look for this line.
<?php if (($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
change it to this.
<?php if (($_SESSION['customer_id']) && (!$_SESSION['COWOA']=='True')) { ?>
This prevents the My Account from showing up after the COWOA Users enters their Order Number and E-Mail Address to view their order.
>> ******

Small problem here, the tpl_header.php was not located in zencart\includes\templates\pinkywinky, it was located in the zencart\includes\templates\template_default\common\ folder. I made the required changes and uploaded them to the zencart\includes\templates\template_default\common\ folder.

>> STEP 2 - Upload the includes and admin directory to your zen cart directory.

That part went fine.

>> STEP 4 - Install the SQL Patch. To do this, open the file COWOA.sql.

Not sure what happened to Step 3, but I did this. The file was actually called COWOA_Full_Install.sql. The install.txt doc says it should have modified 14 files, but it only modified 12. Do I need to also install UPDATE_COWOA_2.sql and UPDATE_COWOA_2x to 2c.sql?

>> STEP 5 - In your admin section, under configuration>layout settings>use split-login page, you want it to say "true".

It does. :-)

>> STEP 6 - **** Add to your /includes/filenames.php file the following line: ****
define('FILENAME_ORDER_STATUS', 'order_status');

No problem there, and I uploaded it to the proper directory.

>> Step 7 - **** Go to your Admin Configuration screen and open up COWOA There are 3 configuations that need to be set to True or False.

Another problem: What COWOA? I logged out and back in again, twice, but I still don't see anything like this under any menu listing.

Final problem: The site looks as it should, and I like how it splits the customers on the Admin Home page into those with and without accounts. But...when I access the site (http://www.carnal-pleasures.com/zencart/ ... apologies in advance that it's an adult site...I'm only the programmer, please don't blame me!) it's not giving me a COWOA option. Doing a test purchase takes me to the same page as before I installed the mod.
