My Checkout Without Account Mod

[JTheed]

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

If you had posted this in my thread for my version of COWOA
(http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=156174) you would have gotten an answer quicker. Anyway, here is the fix for that.

In /includes/modules/create_account.php look for this line around line 134:

     $check_email_query = "select count(*) as total
                            from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . "
                            where customers_email_address = '" . zen_db_input($email_address) . "'";

Change it to read like this (the and line is added)

    $check_email_query = "select count(*) as total
                            from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . "
                            where customers_email_address = '" . zen_db_input($email_address) . "'
                            and COWOA_account != 1";

This way when it searches thru the e-mails, if the record belongs to a COWOA customer, it gets skipped.

I'm sure this is simple, I just can't find it....


for some reason the definitions file isn't loading after the mod was isntalled...


I'm showing

box_title_customer

for the box heading of the customers box.... I'm going to double check and make sure all files were uploaded properly... anybody run into this before

[rwslippey]

Okay, I found the issue...

The package has the definitions file under the following direcotry

\includes\languages\english\extra_definitions

It must be under the admin defines as follows:

/admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/


Not sure if that was just me messing it up....but it's fixed in case anyone else the issue

Alright, I've made the following modifications.

Fixed: IE button issues and cleaned up button code in general. Conditionally removed account/order invoice references from email. Conditionally removed product update notification and account references from checkout_success.

These are reflected in the store and the zip file.

I've been working on my site for some time. I am now in Authorize.net testing mode for my new merchant account, and should go "live" any day now.......

I'm working on a few big issues that I want to fix first, and the MAIN issue is the "creation of an account" requirement. Although I'm sure this is a good thing, I KNOW this will run off a lot of customers (it would run me off).

So I was looking for a add-on that will streamline the process, and still give the customer the OPTION of creating an account. Doing a search, I found this thread, and I am happy to find it! I will certainly download and install this on my test site, and eventually onto my project site.

I will write back to you and tell you how this is going. I'm a new Zenner, so installing modules is kind of scary. But I've already added a couple, and they don't seem to be exceptionally difficult.....

I finally got this installed. I was using Fast and Easy Checkout before and I installed it over a year ago and have been using it with my current template. I decided to create a new template and somehow lost everything and couldnt find the old files. I decided to try COWA because that's all I really need. It was difficult to install with all of the extra mods I have, but I finally got it and tested it and it is working great.

The only problem I have is the "Newsletter and Email Details" section that asks HTML or text email. To customers this would appear that they are forced to signup for the newsletter if they checkout without an account. My question is, how do I disable this section alltogether? I know it doesn't add to the newsletter because I tested it, but I would like to remove the section and just have it send the emails text only.

I just changed it to Email Details in the english language file. That should work fine.

I have installed this mod, but I am having some problem with it.

So far the problem I found is

When I try to checkout without account, I filled all the information -name,phone#,shipping address etc...then I hit continue checkout, all those info i just put in are all gone, and stays at the same page, just like you refresh a page.

I have 3 php scripts is visible on the page

1. Home :: NAVBAR_TITLE

2.
just above the green arrow showing
TEXT_ORIGIN_LOGIN

3. right to the continue checkout bottom

TITLE_CONTINUE_CHECKOUT_PROCEDURE
TEXT_CONTINUE_CHECKOUT_PROCEDURE


I have v1.3.9d ,PHP Version: 5.2.14 (Zend: 2.2.0)

thank you eveyone

it just sounds like you have some files missing due to an error during upload. try reinstalling. and make sure you installed the sql files too.

I already fixed, i forgot to change 2 folders name to my own template name

I tried a few days ago to install the COWA module to my test site.

When I check out, it goes to a page that requires for me to either sign up for an account, or log in.

So, today, I reinstalled it. I did not install the SQL patch again, as I'm sure it's still there. Same result.

Obviously this is not working.

The installation procedure I used:

1) I removed from the install/includes directory the YOUR_TEMPLATE directory, as I have no customized/override templates in this test site. I will rename this directory to match my override directory and include it when I actually put this in my project site (if I ever get to that point-- ha ha)-- anyway, that's what the instructions said to do......

2) I did NOT DO STEP 1a (editing the tpl_header) because I could not find any custom template directory(ies) that had a header_tpl file. For the short term, I didn't think this would matter, as the instructions state this is only for the purpose of preventing the My Account from showing up after the COWA users enter their order number and e-mail. --I thought I'd worry about this issue later)

3)I installed the SQL patch. This was the first time I"ve ever done that. I copied the stuff in the install package, and pasted it in there, and then hit "send" ..... (yes, I made sure it ended with a ; )

4) I added the define('FILENAME_ORDERS_STATUS'); to the includes/filename.php file. I put it as the last line on the page.

5) I went to the Admin, configuration, and there is no COWOA selection available. I could not set the three parametrs as specified.....

Any help would be appreciated............I'm determined to add this module...
