My Checkout Without Account Mod

[craftzombie]

are there any known issues with this mod and upgrading to 1.3.8?

I upgraded to 1.3.8 a few days ago and have left COWA off of my site for the time being until I can take a look at some of the files more carefully after xmas. People are more willing to create accounts right now because they really want to buy gifts for xmas, so its no big deal for me.

I believe there were changes made to the tpl_login_default file (check the boards) because many of us were having problems with logging in. Zen 1.3.8 has an updated version of that file, but since that file was in our template folder, it was never updated. You have to make sure to upload it to your template folder when you install 1.3.8.

The problem is that the file is part of COWA, so it needs to be updated with COWA code. It doesn't look like it will be that difficult to fix, its just that I have absolutely no time right now. There may be other files too, but I won't know more until later. Since I am not the creator of this mod, I don't know for sure. After xmas, I will try to make everything hunky dory and if all goes well, I'll report back here.

Well, I thought all was well when I started adding this to 1.3.8, but just a moment ago when I tried to login, I got an error.

Yesterday, after I updated all of the COWOA files for my 1.3.8 site, I began testing. I checked out using COWOA just fine. Then I also checked out the normal way by creating an account. That worked fine too. I thought everything was fine, but right now when I tried to login with the account I created yesterday, I received this error:

1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ':email AND COWOA_account != 1' at line 9
in:
[SELECT customers_id, customers_firstname, customers_password, customers_email_address, customers_default_address_id, customers_authorization, customers_referral FROM customers WHERE customers_email_address = :email AND COWOA_account != 1]

I also tried logging in with accounts created by my customers long ago using my master password and I still get the error. Since I know nothing about SQL, I am of no use. If anyone has any clue about how to fix that, I've got all of the other files ready to go with the 1.3.8 files. If it can't be fixed and is not compatible with 1.3.8 now, then I guess we are all screwed!

found out the login issue has to do with includes\modules\pages\login\header_php.php - will see if I can fix it :)

[craftzombie]

Okay, I think I have it all fixed (cross your fingers for me!). Let me do some additional testing and if everything is okay, I will post the updated files.

I am crossing my fingers, hoping that my upgrades work for you. I have successfully upgraded the COWOA mod for use with my 1.3.8 site and after much testing, I haven't found any errors. I have added the download to the wiki here:

COWOA Wiki

I have also upgraded my test site from 1.3.6 to 1.3.8 and I added the upgraded COWOA files to it if you want to test it:

COWOA test site

(The login page may be showing guest checkout twice. I don't have time to fix it at the moment but will get to it as soon as I can. The file is includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_login_default.php)

Please let me know asap if you encounter any errors. Back up your files first please - I don't want to be blamed for anything! I tried my best!!!
