COWOA (for ZC v1.5.x)

[earmsby]

Hi,

I'm testing this module on a development store for a client's future use. The client does have a few customizations that I had to merge with the altered files for this module, but that seemed to go smoothly. The trouble is that I am getting the "Whoops! Your session has expired." screen whenever I am attempting to check out. I don't even get to the billing or shipping screens or anything that seems like I can check out without an account.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Since this is not an issue that been reported before, no.. Please re-check your installation.. Given that you've made additional alterations to altered files, it's like one of those is the is cause of the issue..

yeah, I was thinking I'd try another test on a clean ZC 1.5.1 install and see what happens.

Why is COWOA not just installed in the original default installation. Is there really a reason not to want it? I know there are many times I just go to another site if I have to register just to buy a simple item. I just won't spend the time. Can't the design just include a simple on off switch. This is complicated to install!!

It will be, in ZC 1.6

Cool. Any planned date for completion yet?

Nope (at least that I know of). There is a development version on github, but that is way from being ready for release.

It just wasn't included.. You will have to ask the developers why.. and as Design75 indicated there are plans to include this functionality in a future Zen Cart release..

It will be, in ZC 1.6

Respectfully, this is a support thread for COWOA, and any unrelated discussions should be posted in a seperate thread..

I successfully installed the COWOA module, but I see under the How to Use section that some other changes need to be made if the template uses the CSS Horizontal Dropdown Menu with query or Pure CSS Mega Menu. I just installed the Picaflor Avonlee_contempo template but how do I know if it uses these and I need to make these additional changes?

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.
