My Checkout Without Account Mod

Does this work with 1.3.8?

I think it will work with 1.3.8. I don't know why you are still on 1.3.8 I would upgrade for security reasons.
You can download the module from here if you want to try it out.

I don't know why you are still on 1.3.8

Because I've got so many mods in 1.3.8, I would probably need to build the site again from scratch.

[athena]

I had to do that....many mods on 1.3.8a to 1.3.9h

It has been worth it...like learning from a nightmare...and took a great deal of time and testing. Had i been more methodical, not trying to save time, and carefully read through all the mods threads, one by one THOROUGHLY...I would have saved some time.

*Make sure all the mods you are adding or updating to 1.3.9h are using that version of the core files that require edits...many don't.

*READ through all the main threads about the mods because there are some fixes in there for 1.3.9h that have never been applied to the download section.

*after you've tried everything to make sure all files are edited correctly and uploaded, Keep poking at unresolved issues and post details of your problem as well as details of your success.

*Dreamweaver's (I'm using CS4) sync feature is very valuable for reviewing you server files match your local files.

*Step carefully though Winmerge, if you are using it as one mistake I found when I'd save changes, sometimes I saved the wrong side to my store.

These mistakes resulted in my redoing all the mods at least three times. However, I found fixes for other zenners that had been bothering them for awhile and had previously gone unresolved.

OH...and be appreciative and gracious of the help you get here...goes a long way...so do frustrating remarks...In other words, you'll never be the same....

Safe journey...

Sorry, it is a modified header :-( - it's been a long day

STEP 1a - In your custom templates on 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']) && (!$_SESSION['COWOA']=='True')) { ?>
Help,I cannot find the
<?php if (($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
in the tpl_header.php of my custom template.
Then where is the exact place of the tpl_header.php ?
Thanks in advance

Then where is the exact place of the tpl_header.php ?

It is located in
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/common

If you are using the default template it is in
includes/templates/template_default/common

The line you are looking
[FONT=&quot]<?php if (($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
is on line 48
[/FONT]

I feel like I've tried and tried to do this, but keep running into the same issue. I've installed three times, checked and double checked things, but I'm obviously missing something. On the /index.php?main_page=no_account page, I keep seeing the following.

What did I miss? I'm sure I've looked at it a dozen times, but I just can't see it.

I backed out of this installation as the ordered steps mod that was integrated was too difficult for me.

but I did have this issue and fixed it.

Do you have this file?

/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/order_steps_defines.php? I guess you could just add the define to the languages/english.php file if it is not working.

define('TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_BILLING', 'Billing');
define('TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_1', 'Shipping');
define('TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_2', 'Payment');
define('TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_3', 'Order Review');
define('TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_4', 'Order Complete');

Thank you athena, that was the problem. Actually my template had the order_steps_defines.php as well, so that was overriding the one in the extra_definitions.

That did get me through that part, but even after spending hours on it, I still was having problems so I removed it again. Is this the best solution for checking out without an account? I don't know why I'm having such a block with this one. I don't like being beat by a plugin, but I want to make it easier for customers to check out.

[athena]

I'm still hoping to attempt to install this again when the dust settles.....I'll post here if I have success.

Hi,

I have been using COWOA since December and just now noticed that the MyAccount and Logoff links are not showing in the header, even when you have logged in as a registered user. I don't think this is the way it is supposed to behave. Following is the Navigation section of my tpl_header.php file where I added the COWOA mod as recommended in the install.txt file. Any suggestions? I have even tried turning COWOA off in Admin and testing it and it still doesn't show the Logoff or MyAccount link when I am logged in:

<!-- ========== NAVIGATION LINKS ========== -->
<a href="<?php echo HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a>

<!-- mleahy- modified following line for COWOA installation. -->
<?php if (($_SESSION['customer_id']) && (!$_SESSION['COWOA']=='True')) { ?>
&nbsp; | &nbsp; <a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a>
&nbsp; | &nbsp; <a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a>
<?php
} else {
if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
?>
&nbsp; | &nbsp; <a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></a>
<?php } } ?>

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
&nbsp; | &nbsp; <a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a>
&nbsp; | &nbsp; <a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a>
<?php } ?>
