My Checkout Without Account Mod

[mrmeech]

The guy who made this mod submitted it to the Zen people but it was never put in the download section. Then he couldn't support the mod any longer and I needed to update the mod to work with 1.3.8, so I grabbed it, fixed it for 1.3.8, and put it up on my site for download. That is the only place, as far as I know, where it is available.

That's an unfortunate shame...

Well, if i am allowed to have my two cents on this thread, i would encourage you to attempt to submit it another time. That mod area is definitely the first place people look (myself included) when they want to alter their shop and see if someone else had already coded something.

And finally, what are your plans, if any, for updating the mod when 1.3.4 is released some time between now and december-ish?

Thanks!

Trust me, its a lost cause. The Zen team has their reasons. Read other threads on the topic and you will see the huge differences in opinion.

From what I have read, the Zen team plans to make changes to the checkout part of Zen Cart. I do not know exactly which version will have the changes. If the next update to Zen does not have the checkout changes, then I will most likely update the mod to work with the newest version of Zen. I do this for selfish reasons, because I like to have the newest version of Zen on my own site and I always figured I might as well share it if I have already done the work anyway. If changes are made before December, I probably won't upgrade the mod until January because I am swamped with holiday orders usually, and I will have absolutely no time to do it until after the holiday madness. Plus, I always avoid a big upgrade to Zen when business is booming.

It would be a nice little feature if the COWOA sign-up page were to detect a downloadable product only is in the cart and instead of:

Continue to Step 2
- provide delivery information.

It says something like:

Continue to next step
- payment information

There is no easy way to do it, although you really only need to remove the code that was added to the login page. If a customer has no access to that section of the login page, then the mod is never used. Leaving the other changes made when you uploaded will not hurt anything.

Hi craftzombie

Thanks once again for your help.

I have now managed to disable the button and the header links, thanks to your help.

If you do get time to investigate the order status bar problem in IE I would really appreciate it.

Learning slowly as I go with this.

With the help of this topic, and this topic here (reply no 83): http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...t=53786&page=9
I was able to work around the IE7 "bug" but I needed to change some more settings to prevent the border to exceed the progress bar too much which resulted in a ugly trailing white space.

In all css related files:

Starting at around line 5:

#order_steps {       /* Is needed for the centering in IE */
    padding: 5px 1px;
    margin: 10px 10px;
    text-align: center;
	 border: 1px solid #000000;
	 height:70px;
}

In contrary to the provided solution in the topic, I didn't disabled the padding as it wraps the progress bar in checking out without account.

Next: All widths which were 25% have been changed to 24.9% (find 25% and replace with 24.9%).

And furthermore the changes from the above mentioned topic:

.progressbar_active {
   /* background: url(../images/orderstep.png) repeat-x;    */
	 background-color: #3DA200; /* Determines the active color of the completed part of the line */
	 width:24.9%;
	 float:left;
	 height: 5px;
	 line-height:5px;
	 color: #3DA200;
}

.progressbar_inactive {
    background: url(../images/orderstep.png) repeat-x;    
	 background-color: #9A9A9A; /* Determines the active color of the completed part of the line */
	 width:24.9%;
	 float:left;
	 height: 5px;
	 line-height:5px;
	 color: #9A9A9A;
}

.progressbar_active_COWOA {
    /*background: url(../images/orderstep.png) repeat-x;    */
	 background-color: #3DA200; /* Determines the active color of the completed part of the line */
	 width:20%;
	 float:left;
	 height: 5px;
	 line-height:5px;
	 color: #3DA200;
}

.progressbar_inactive_COWOA {
    background: url(../images/orderstep.png) repeat-x;  
	 background-color: #9A9A9A; /* Determines the active color of the completed part of the line */
	 width:20%;
	 float:left;
	 height: 5px;
	 line-height:5px;
	 color: #9A9A9A;

Hope this helps anyone.

Hi

Can anyone tell me how I can change the subject and the content of the email that is sent to the shop owner, when someone checks out without an account.

I do not want to change the create account email when someone checks out with an account.

Hi,

Just after a bit of advice, as my head is spinning after spending the afternoon reading about checkout modules/paypal/etc.

Here's what I'd like my site to do:
- allow customers to choose if they want an account or not
- preferably pay on my site, or if on Paypal not have to duplicate all the info they've already entered (Express requires a Paypal account, which puts me off)

I think I need Paypal Payments Pro, plus this module. Am I right? Oh, and I'm choosing Paypal because they accept HK Dollars (the business is in Hong Kong).

Cheers,
Adam.

Laurie,

I have actually never installed this mod -- i've only had a distant interest and sometimes read this thread... BUT, one thing that might get you to the correct location for editing the subject/content of the owner-generated email:

Admin>Tools>Developer Tool Kit

Try pasting some subject/content info from those emails into the search and see what you wind up with.

Many, many thanks!!! You rock!!
