COWOA (for ZC v1.5.x)

[LightBrown]

I have COWOA 2.7 (BETA) working on my 1.5.5 install. I've done some initial testing and everything seems to be working.

So firstly, thank you to everyone who has contributed to keeping this mod up to date!

Secondly, in order to have COWOA not completely break my template, I completely skipped copying includes\templates\MY_TEMPLATE\common\tpl_header.php AND tpl_main_page.php

I tried to merge the COWOA files with my current tpl_header.php and tpl_main_page.php, but they seem to be completely different and I can't even tell what should be merged (my current files are quite old, i think my template was designed for 1.3.9).

Am I missing out on any functionality by skipping these two files? Am I going to run into errors? It doesn't seem to be throwing anything into the error log for now.

Thanks for any help!

If you don't merge tpl_main_page.php, the option for turning off sideboxes during checkout will not work.
If you don't merge tpl_header.php, the Logoff and My Account will display when users are checking out without an account.

Thanks for the info. I don't plan on turning off the sideboxes during checkout, so tpl_main_page.php should be fine, and I already removed the My Account button completely. So i guess I am good to go!

I installed the COWOA and in the admin tools, I get no choices. I did a fresh install of zencart 1.5.5a and the COWOA. Still no joy.

Did I miss something? I followed the directions to the 'T'.

Just to check, which version of COWOA did you install? The latest COWOA version downloaded from the Zencart website or the 1.5.5 Beta version from Github? The version hosted on Zencart will not work with 1.5.5

I downloaded from here. I will check out github.

Thanks

Alright. I finally got it up and running. New issue.

I have a list instead of the menu. I tried "toggle navigation" but that did nothing.

I don't know what you are referring to here. The COWOA menu?

I miserably failed in merging COWOA (v2.7 - 03/25/2016 Updated for Zen Cart v1.5.5) into 1.5.5d with Winchester Responsive. What is the status on this for 1.5.5d? Does anyone have files merged with any responsive templates that work? Would consider starting with pretty much any template as long as COWOA works. Yes, that important to me. I have to mention that I also installed the one page checkout. So maybe the combination of the two just got too much for me. Looking for guidance where to go from here. As of now I am sticking with 1.5.4 until I have a solution. Read the good discussion on github but they are all from 2015. https://github.com/DivaVocals/zen_COWOA is there a newer version available? Or simply wait for 1.6?

don't wait for 1.6 it is miles away from being ready, don't be surprised to see a 1.5.6 first .
