COWOA (for ZC v1.5.x)

[davewest]

I thought we added observers to COWOA! Maybe I missed something...

I've been busy converting mine which is not to bad, has some new interesting code in 1.5.5 that should make things interesting.. With the way COWOA is setup now, it behaves more like a standard account without the customer knowing it.. which leaves more control for admin and leaves many of the normal behaviour of ZC as is.

With this comes other issues such as accessing the account pages when one should not be able to. This issues occurs during checkout when the customer enters shipping/billing addresses and then email address. Once the checkout processes receives an email address, the session now has a customer ID.. If the customer drops the cart and does something else, like hard enters the url for the account pages, they then have access to areas they shouldn't get to as guests. The observer should catch that and redirect them back to the login page. Also at this time, the dropped cart is saved in the database. When the same email address is used again during checkout the saved cart is retrieved and then added to the new cart... normal for standard accounts, not for guest. another observer to catch and delete saved carts during the checkout process for COWOA accounts only..

Testing with COWOA v2.7 on a clean install of ZC 1.5.5 using the responsive template.

Attaching the observer and loader used in ZC 1.5.4 and 1.5.5 and COWOA 2.4 - 2.7 for testing.
