COWOA (for ZC v1.5.x)

[NoHug4u]

I'm not getting a blank page once COWOA is installed. The Zen cart admin screen shows up, the ADMIN-->Configuration-->Cowoa Configuration shows up on the drop down and I can click on it, however once I do, the 4 configurations that need to be set to true or false are not there. The page is not blank just those options are missing so I am unable to switch Cowoa on if that makes sense.

Yes, my system shows the exact same symptoms. I selected the classic template and installed COWOA again. There are no errors in the log file. (I removed those old ones)

When I select Configuration->Cowoa Configuration, I get a normal header and a black background across the screen with three words spread out across the page, Title (at the left) Value (in the middle) and Action (on the right). No error message and no way to turn on the COWOA function.

My response to both of you is the same... Roll back your store to the state it was before you installed COWOA (You did back up your store files and database BEFORE you installed it right???)

Then try doing this install again..

I am working with a new install. Went back to the beginning and re-installed a fresh copy of 1.5.1, no template and installed this plugin as the first and only plugin. Works like a charm. Thanks for your help.

Well that error message I got about the unexpected end didn't go away when I put the updated time_out.php file in. I just checked and after each sale I am still getting it (PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in )- but now it says line 19 instead of line 20 and line 19 is the last line of the file, which I uploaded straight from the unzipped download of v2.3 Line 19 says:

define('TEXT_PASSWORD_FORGOTTEN', 'Forgot Your Password?')

And I opened it with Crimson editor just to check and there are no extra spaces or lines after that )

Hard to troubleshoot one off issues.. The most likely cause of most issues with COWOA is an installation error/mistake.. So roll back your store to the state it was before you installed COWOA (You did back up your store files and database BEFORE you installed it right???)

"unexpected $end" is almost always caused by unmatched/unclosed parentheses or braces, such as in an IF statement or WHILE or FOR or SWITCH loop, or an incomplete class/function declaration (such as would happen if you were editing a class or function file and remove a closing brace, or forget to add a closing brace to an IF statement you're adding, etc). Basically it's a programming error in your customized code.

Probably been asked before, but I don't remember seeing it in the thread.

Is there a way to merge a COWOA account with a Standard account?

Even if I have to delete standard account and flip a bit in the db, ie COWOA_account from 1 to 0

What issues will that cause?

Any way to transfer order history, etc?

Another question about COWOA - this is about the document flow.

Considering that we want to give a visitor (not a member) easy access to buy, then it follows that we should limit his/her choices. I want to show only the COWOA path and not the rest of the login options. If they want to log in, they can do so from the menu.

That said, I still want members to have login privileges. So I cannot eliminate the signup and login completely.
I want the COWOA path to not be offered when you select login, only when you try to buy something and you are not a (logged in) member.

Is this possible?

Finding that one of the on-screen messages may not be fully understood by all customers. It's the error message displayed when a customer attempts to use COWOA with an e-mail address that is linked to a standard customer account.

So I've revised it so it is much more detailed than the current message. Thought I'd share in case anyone else has the same experience.

Updated includes\languages\YOUR_TEMPLATE\english.php:
Change this:

define('ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS_ERROR_EXISTS', 'Our system already has a record of that email address - please try logging in with that email address. If you do not use that address any longer you can correct it in the My Account area.');

To this:

define('ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS_ERROR_EXISTS', 'You cannot use our "<strong>checkout without an account</strong>" feature with the e-mail address provided because our system already has a regular store account on file using that email address - please try logging in to our store with that email address. If you do not use that email address any longer you can correct it in the "<strong>My Account</strong>" area once logged in.');
