My Checkout Without Account Mod

[countrycharm]

I just installed COWOA 2.2 on a site with ZC 1.5.0. ZC was auto-installed by hosting service, with admin files in /zcadmin. So I uploaded files from install /admin to /zcadmin. Yes I have override folders named /custom so put YOUR_TEMPLATE files in folders named /custom. Submitted sql patch and made other minor changes listed in install file.

Install file states: "Go to your Admin Configuration screen and open up COWOA". In my ZC admin/configuration there is no COWOA listed.

I checked via phpmyadmin and COWOA_account field is in customers table so according to another post, that means the patch "took".

Do I misunderstand where I am supposed to look for COWOA in the ZC config? Is there some place I have to change code because the admin files are in /zcadmin ?

Please advise!

ZC area of site is at www.westpac-ptg.org/zencart

Hai,
My problem is
When I am making a purchase as a guest user. Once I fill all my details and say for some reason I am not able to complete order.Now if I want to say "sign in" with some existing account I will not be able to do it.
Even if I close the browser and agin try it will not allow me.Then only option will be Ineed to delete cookies and try again.

How can I solve this problem ?

You need to roll back any changes you did before you installed Cowoa because you didn't install it right. You did make a backup didn't you?
Reinstall Cowoa making sure all files are in there correct place and you have merge the core files right. If you installed it right you will not have any problems what soever.

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.

1A. replace your orig file and load your edited file to yourtemplate rather than template_default.

2. Did you rename 'admin' folder to match YOUR admin folder?

Just to be clear.. The above referenced support thread is for the version of COWA that is available in the Zen Cart downloads section.. If you've installed the COWOA version from any other place on the internet including the version on the first page of THIS thread (Integrated Checkout Without Account), please note they ARE NOT the same module and you should NOT post questions related to Integrated Checkout Without Account on theCowoa Version 1.5.0 thread

I have searched for this in the thread and found nothing about it. When someone orders that has an account, I get a detailed invoice of what they ordered. That is what I need. When they checkout without an account, I just get a email from PayPal showing that they paid. Then I have to contact the buyer on what they ordered. How do I get it to where I can get a detailed invoice of a non account holder when they order?
