Fast and Easy Checkout

[numinix]

Make sure to remove ALL files and bit of code from your site. I was under the impression one was able to just disable FEC via Admin, so I did so...and had no sales for a week because it prevented customers from creating an account or checking out.

If you were unable to disable the module from the admin, you either
A) forgot to disable EASY SIGN UP AND LOGIN
or
B) have a hardcoded file in extra_configures which redirects to the checkout page

99% likely it was A. This module can be COMPLETELY disabled from the admin as long as it isn't hard-coded into your cart.

Anyways, Scott's issue is not with FEC. In fact he's not even using FEC, he's using FEAC. He's had 3 programmers other than Numinix look at his site and has wasted a couple of days getting them to determine that FEAC was the problem while continuing to ignore my advice that this is the result of an improper upgrade. Advice that was given to him for free when we fixed CSS JS Loader.

I will try to explain better. Fresh install of 1.3.9f and demo-database and 1.3.9f with all mods installed works great no problems. Now I need to have 1.3.8a database to work with new install 1.3.9f.

After changing configure.php files to match 1.3.8a database I installed all SQL patches on 1.3.8a database the ones that were already installed installer said so. Next ran UpDate database and patch level now says 1.3.9f. Now everything work except FEC. It has defaulted to orginal. So that is why I said it has to be something to do with the database. So the only thing I can think of is JS is not working with the updated database.

FEC uses auto_loaders to redirect the default pages to FEC pages. Turning off FEC disables these auto_loaders. Your best bet is probably to reinstall FEC to make sure none of these files were lost during your upgrade.

Low order is installed and configured, but it is not showing up in the cart and one page checkout.

Problem Found

When you run the uninstaller I found even though it shows FEC has been removed only parts have been removed. I found the following was left installed, [INSERT INTO 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');] When you try to install SQL patch it does not install any part of the patch because it think the patch is installed.

Remendy

I loaded the SQL patch into an editor and found the above to be line 6. I removed this line, and installed the SQL patch. This time the SQL installer installed 14 Statements and said the following was also installed.

Error ERROR: Cannot ADD column dropdown because it already exists.
Error ERROR: Cannot ADD column gift_message because it already exists.
Error ERROR: Cannot ADD column checkbox because it already exists.
Error ERROR: Cannot ADD column COWOA_account because it already exists.

Tested

All works fine now – this is a great mod that I would rate as a must have #1

Need to know

Why is code being left behind? Is it due to not included in unstaller or is there something wrong on the database server and my host need to fix.

First of all - thanks again for one of the best mods out there! It really is fantastic!

I know that customers can checkout without an account, and then they don't need a password.

But I still want my customers to open an account - so I use FEC with easy login and 1 page checkout.

Since you have managed to bypass both the password and password-confirmation in your COWOA module, i wondered if you could tell me how in the world I can skip the password-confirmation when opening an account.. No matter what I do, it won't work...

I have removed the inputfield (confirmation) from tpl_modules_create_account.php and removed confirmation-lines from modules/create_account.php.

What happens, is that when a customer doesn't fill out the rest of the form after the "rules" all the Javascript Error Alerts are gone! - instead they are shown as messagestacks on the top of the page, written out by PHP, which causes the page to reload, and hence - all the input fields loose their values, and the customer must fill them out once again..

Was this understandable?

Summary:
I want to drop the password-confirmation when creating an account, but still show JS-alerts if something else is missing from the form.

Can you help?

All of this is standard in FEC. Make sure you are using version 1.8.4.

Is there an admin option in FEC to drop the Password-confirmation?

[numinix]

Is there an admin option in FEC to drop the Password-confirmation?

This is default to Zen Cart and we strongly recommend keeping it if you plan to offer permanent accounts.

Otherwise, just use COWOA and you won't need a password at all.

Really loving the look and feel to this mod, but have one aesthetic problem I can't resolve - in the first page of the checkout, in the "shopping cart contents" totals area, the shipping totals are coming up as 0.00. There is no text to indicate what the 0.00 actually is as a user, (ie, lists subtotal, then the 0.00, then the tax, then total) so it;s not the end of the world, but it would be great if I could remove this line altogether. Having a blonde day, and can't find this anywhere?
Thanks!
