COWOA (for ZC v1.5.x)

[DivaVocals]

If my question was unclear you could have simply asked me to clarify what part didn't make sense. I was trying to give as much information as I could, and maybe it was just too much to comprehend or I just didn't do a good job like I thought I did.

Like I said, your ACTUAL question was simply not clear.. Hence my responses..

And whether you realize or now, how you type carries a lot of inflection and tone to the reader. The way you type comes off in a very passive aggressive manner. You have 1 line in particular in your profile that leads me to believe I'm not the only one that's felt this way. I mean no offense.

"Uh huh.. Right.. Not patronizing.. Your original question was not clear.. Period.." <-- This is totally reads as a sarcastic and almost patronizing comment BTW.

that's YOUR interpretation/opinion.. which you are entitled to.. **shrug**

Anyways that's for your assistance.

Yep.. glad you got it working..

Hi,

I've been testing this for a client's site and I came across what I think may be a small but important omission in the read me document for a new installation. In the list of modified files, the file includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php is not mentioned but it is modified and will be uploaded if you upload the whole folder structure.

If I missed this in the documentation, then I apologize but I checked it several times and did not find it listed.

There is no option to "Subscribe to Our Newsletter" just HTML or Text Only choices.

Is it intentional that all customers that COWOA are automatically subscribed to the newsletter?

it's modified for COWOA, and it should be uploaded.. (regardless as to whether the document mention it..)

I'm having an absolutely lovely night (not!) and I hope someone over on this page can help me.

One of the sites I maintain (www.carnal-pleasures.com) reported this morning that a customer had forgotten her password; the Forgotten Password page was coming up totally blank. So, not knowing whether or not the COWOA that I installed earlier this month was the cause of the problem...since no customer had ever reported this problem before, we have no idea whether the page was malfunctioning for the last two years, or whether it just started happening...I posted a request on the general forum, asking for help.

I was referred to http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?124-blank-page. I followed the instructions, which were to reinstall the software. I started by reinstalling the COWOA, since one of the pages that was modified was in the Forgotten Password folder.

Suddenly the COWOA is completely missing! The site seems to work fine otherwise, but the COWOA box on the Checkout page is just *poof!* gone. So I tried reinstalling the sql patch. No change. Then I went into the COWOA Configurations screen. The link is there, but the page is blank.

Acting on this same guru's advice, I replaced all the COWOA files with the original files. Site still seems to work fine. So I reinstalled the COWOA again. The same thing is happening: It should be there, but it's not. The files have been properly installed, the sql patch has been reinstalled...the COWOA Configuration page is empty, and the login page has only the original two non-COWOA options.

I didn't remove or change anything...I only re-uploaded what had already been uploaded, and was working fine. Does anyone have any idea what went wrong here, and how I can fix it??

Thanks!

A quick update:

When I redid the sql patch, this is the list of query responses I got, in case it helps anyone figure out this frustrating mystery.

Success 12 statements processed.
Error ERROR: Cannot ADD column COWOA_account because it already exists.
Error ERROR: Cannot ADD column COWOA_order because it already exists.

You can't run the install SQL statement again or you'll get the results you see.. (which is very clearly telling you that column you are trying to add ALREADY exists..) so try running the UNINSTALL SQL before you run the install SQL..

I knew it would be something simple...thank you for reminding me of the missing step. LOL Curiously enough, when I reinstalled the COWOA sql patch, I got exactly the same list of query responses...but this time, the COWOA Configuration screen showed up properly. And now the third box is also showing up on the checkout page.

Side question: If all five items need to be changed to True, why aren't they set to True as a default?

So now...to the problem that caused this entire mess. Why is the Forgotten Password page coming up totally blank? Does anyone have any idea? The log file says:

[30-Aug-2013 21:30:34] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function zen_create_padss_password() in /home/carnal1/public_html/zencart/includes/modules/pages/password_forgotten/header_php.php on line 48

So I looked at line 48, and it says:

$new_password = zen_create_PADSS_password( (ENTRY_PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH > 0 ? ENTRY_PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH : 5) );

But I'm a php moron, so that doesn't mean anything to me. If anyone can help me with this, I'd be very grateful.

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function zen_create_padss_password() in ...

As I said in your other thread, while I'm no expert on the COWOA plugin itself, I do know that the zen_create_padss_password() function didn't get introduced until v1.5.1
So the error you're getting means you've added code which depends on v1.5.1 features being present. Why therefore means you've installed a version which is designed for v1.5.1 (whether its author realized it or not when they submitted it).

Hello again! LOL

Okay, so what should the proper code be? Anyone? Anyone?
