COWOA (for ZC v1.5.x)

[ianhg]

I have the 2.6 beta version installed in my test site. I just want to make people aware of a problem I was having.
I was getting an ajax error during the checkout process, when I went from the payment page to the confirmation page, for the COD and Paypal modules (these are both modules where credit cards are NOT accepted on the site. I did not get the error for authorizenet_aim, where credit cards ARE accepted on the site.) I got the error when I was checking out as a logged-in user, not as a guest.
The way I finally fixed this problem was by doing a comparison between the includes/templates folders of 1.5.3 and 1.5.4, and then checking to see if I had made all those changes to my template files.
I found that includes/templates/mytemplatedir/templates/tpl_checkout_payment_default.php had a couple of changes, and the version I had installed from COWOA did not have these changes. They were the following changes:
1.5.3:

<?php echo zen_draw_form('checkout_payment', zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_CONFIRMATION, '', 'SSL'), 'post', ($flagOnSubmit ? 'onsubmit="return check_form();"' : '')); ?>

1.5.4:

<?php echo zen_draw_form('checkout_payment', zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_CONFIRMATION, '', 'SSL'), 'post'); ?>

1.5.3:

<div class="buttonRow forward"><?php echo zen_image_submit(BUTTON_IMAGE_CONTINUE_CHECKOUT, BUTTON_CONTINUE_ALT, 'onclick="submitFunction('.zen_user_has_gv_account($_SESSION['customer_id']).','.$order->info['total'].')"'); ?></div>

1.5.4:

<div class="buttonRow forward" id="paymentSubmit"><?php echo zen_image_submit(BUTTON_IMAGE_CONTINUE_CHECKOUT, BUTTON_CONTINUE_ALT, 'onclick="submitFunction('.zen_user_has_gv_account($_SESSION['customer_id']).','.$order->info['total'].')"'); ?></div>

I hope this can help someone else avoid some frustration, and pulling out of hair!

Thank you for posting this it is interesting, because I have an issue with an ajax error message on check out. Can you please tell me the message that you received? I am getting "An unknown response null: :null: : was received while processing an ajax call. The action you requested could not be completed" at stage after entering payment details using PayPal Pro. Strange thing is that I have used this on other sites on the same server without any problems, although they are either using a different gateway or PayPal standard.
I am using COWOA 2.4
Thanks
