My Checkout Without Account Mod

[toaldingham]

Hmmm...So I have done this, but still not luck. The login page changes shape, as if it's trying to accomodate the COWOA box, but still doesn't show it. I'm baffled! It works on my localhost, but not when I upload it. ?

When I check the HTML source code the only reference to COWOA is:

<!-- BOF COWOA -->
<!-- BOF COWOA -->

So it's recognising it in some way. Any suggestions

Thanks

Will the 1.3.9 version of COWOA work with 1.3.8a? - The 1.3.8. version of this mod doesn't seem to be available any more.

Thanks.

Thanks.

1.3.8 is available here: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...ithout_Account

I am using 1.3.8 and has installed COWOA. However, my COWOA customers end up with a blank page: index.php?main_page=logoff,

The same happens when a registred customer tries to logout.

I've checked all the files I was asked to overwrite and everything seems okay. I've also checked that all files are where they should be. Can anyone help as this driving me crazy.

Many thanks in advance.

COWOA has nothing to do with the logoff page. What other mods have you installed? Have you tried uploading the logoff page again from the regular Zen install files? Perhaps your files didn't transfer properly.

I have 1.3.9e and Integrated Cowoa (JTheed version) and working great except for the old problem of a customer buying with COWOA and then buying again and trying to register and Zen telling customer that they already have this email address.

I have tried to look through the threads, but can't find anything.

Any help would be great

Not sure how many of you have noticed the welcome email sent to anyone that checks out with this module has a coupon number listed for 10% off, which expired in 2007.

Here is the welcome email info:

I did a search of all the files installed with this module and in the /includes/language/english/YOURTEMPLATE/no_account.php file on line 39 it says this:

define('EMAIL_TEXT', 'With your account, you can now take part in the <strong>various services</strong> we have to offer you. Some of these services include:' . "\n\n" . '<li><strong>Permanent Cart</strong> - Any products added to your online cart remain there until you remove them, or check them out.' . "\n\n" . '<li><strong>Address Book</strong> - We can deliver your products to another address other than your own. This is perfect to send birthday gifts directly to the birthday-person themselves.' . "\n\n" . '<li><strong>Order History</strong> - View your history of purchases that you have made with us.' . "\n\n" . '<li><strong>Products Reviews</strong> - Share your opinions on products with our other customers.' . "\n\n" . 'Your Discount Coupon - As a thank you for joining our community, we\'ve included a 10% discount coupon. You may use this coupon once to get 10% off any order, large or small. It is good through December of 2007. The coupon code is \'08825bbc50\'. To use this code, enter it during checkout in the coupon entry field.' . "\n\n"); 

I hope this information helps somebody.

I know you posted this a long time ago, but thanks for this. I just installed COWOA, tested it, and freaked out a bit as I saw this in the welcome email. Thanks again.

Ok. I have a quick question for folks that are actually USING cowoa on current LIVE trading sites.

Roughly what percentage go for the checkout without account option?

Do folks in general believe it helps to reduce the levels of shopping cart abandonment.

I do like Zen Cart, but the current checkout process at the moment is just way too long and far too many pages for customers to endure.

I am running Zen Cart 1.39d and have installed COWOA. I am having a very difficult time. When someone clicks checkout they only get two options: to register or to log in. There is no COWOA option at all. Other than that the checkout operates perfectly, complete with the green arrows and progress bar.

In my Admin panel there is no listing whatsoever for COWOA. I suspect that if there was I could turn on the COWOA option.

I have gone through all of the files numerous times and am confident that all is right there. I suspect it is a database problem. I tried running the uninstall COWOA.sql and I receive a white screen with this:

1054 Unknown column 'query_builder.query_name' in 'where clause'
in:
[DELETE FROM zen_query_builder WHERE query_builder.query_name = 'Permanent Account Holders Only' LIMIT 1;]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

When I try to re-run the COWOA install sql I get this:

1062 Duplicate entry 'Permanent Account Holders Only' for key 2
in:
[INSERT INTO zen_query_builder ( query_id , query_category , query_name , query_description , query_string ) VALUES ( '', 'email,newsletters', 'Permanent Account Holders Only', 'Send email only to permanent account holders ', 'select customers_email_address, customers_firstname, customers_lastname from TABLE_CUSTOMERS where COWOA_account != 1 order by customers_lastname, customers_firstname, customers_email_address');]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Is there a 'back door' in a file where I can turn COWOA on? I am at a loss as to what else I can try. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

COWOA has nothing to do with the logoff page. What other mods have you installed? Have you tried uploading the logoff page again from the regular Zen install files? Perhaps your files didn't transfer properly.

You're absolutely right and your idea worked spot on. A new upload of the logoff page cured the problem. Many, many thanks for your advice.
