My Checkout Without Account Mod

[hnguyen1981]

Did includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/order_steps_defines.php install correctly? If you open up that file and look at it, you can see that the definition for TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_BILLING should be "Billing". Could be that your FTP didn't transfer? Are the other order steps showing correctly?

No, the order_steps_defines.php did install correctly. The other order steps are showing correctly. Even if I try to change any of the other defines like TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_1 or TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_2 and upload it to my ftp, it doesn't change the text in the bar.

So, I don't think this is what defines it. Would it be anywhere else?

I was able to fix it myself. The definition is located under \\includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\apple_zen\order_steps_defines.php . I had to add define('TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_BILLING', 'Billing'); to the file because it was missing.

Thanks for your help craftzombie. You pointed me in the right direction.

apple_zen is your template. apple_zen is the override folder that you install this mod and all other mods into (unless you are installing core files, which do not get installed into your override folder). If you are not doing this, all of these mods and changes you are making will be erased if you ever decide to upgrade your version of Zen Cart. Always install into your override folder.

And I mean apple_zen as in....

includes/templates/apple_zen/templates/
or
includes/languages/english/apple_zen/

There should be apple_zen's all over the place!

Not sure if you already know all of this. Just trying to help!

I have installed COWOA and it works just fine, I only use COWOA and there is no possibility to log in or log out or creating accounts at all. One thing bothers me though while testing it. When I'm in the middle of ordering (as if I get a phone call or something) and I get a session timeout, this text shows up: 'Whoops! Your session has expired.' And then I'm requested to log in again

Has anyone got some good idea how to get rid of this?

That is how Zen Cart normally functions, it has nothing to do with COWOA. If a COWOA customer waits too long, they will lose their cart. All the more reason to push account creation, although some people just refuse to.

I think you can make sessions last longer, and I think they advise not to do so. But if you search for "session timeout" or something like that, you can find answers on these boards.

Hi. I have just migrated over from Cubecart, so please help me.

I have installed Zen Cart 1.3.8 and COWOA for that version, onto a xampp development environment on my pc. The zen cart works perfectly and is the basic deal with no mods. I have installed COWOA by replacing the files directly and installing the SQL, but I still end up with the standard zen cart checkout page. NO option to checkout without account? I also put a fresh install of zen cart and dragged the COWOA folders into it, updated the sql, but still end up with the standard zen cart checkout, with no option to checkout without an account?

When I paste and enter the sql through the admin tool, it comes up with the sql above the box, so I am assuming this means it has been entered correctly? Remember I'm new to zen cart!!

Every file has been transferred like for like, but still no joy. I know that it is probably something very basic causing this, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello! In your admin, under Configuration>Layout Settings>Use split-login page.... is it set to true?

[craftzombie]

Also, for any new users who have a problem with COWOA showing up on the login page during checkout.....

You can do a little testing to see where your problem is by putting something like this into the address bar, with the name of your site of course (i had to mention it because i just know someone will actually put in "yoursite.com"!):

http://www.YOURSITE.com/index.php?main_page=no_account

If that page comes up, you can go all the way through and test to see if COWOA works. If it does, then your problem lies with the login page. Many times, the file transfer didn't work or you just overlooked the code if you added it manually. Try re-installing install\overrides-writes\includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_login_default.php

Hi. Setting the split page login brings up the dialogue ok now. Thanks for that Craftzombie.

When I click the checkout without an account tab, I now get a page not found message and the following appears in the title bar.

http://localhost/xampp/zen-cart/inde...AME_NO_ACCOUNT

(It is on a local development setup on my pc.)

As I am new to Zen Cart as well as the Cowoa add on, am I looking at setting another admin function, or relocating a missing file?

Any help or advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks.

Only difference I can see, is that it is putting FILENAME_ before the no_account part. Any ideas??
