COWOA (for ZC v1.5.x)

As always, you make compelling argument, I like your passion and drive, and really do appreciate your efforts to drag lesser folk kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Also good to read views of others. Sometiimes things just need to be beaten into shape, however brittle or immalleable...

Suggestion:

In the COWOA fieldset in \includes\templates\MyTemplate\templates\tpl_login_default.php

Whether

should be replaced by

to only allow COWOA when customer has products in cart. Otherwise COWOA is visible to visitors proceeding directly to login. Or is this the intention of the original code.

This is a change I've applied to client stores.. Actually I thought it HAD been added to the Github repo.. Thanks for the reminder..

Well this change IS in the COWOA code.. and I'm thinking that since you are looking for it to be in the "tpl_login_default.php" file that whatever changes you made when installing the beta version is the reason why you're not seeing the code.. (which is in the new tpl_login_default.php file) Sounds like you are not using some of all of the current COWOA beta code..

I am working with version 1.5.4 and just installed the COWOA addon.
When testing and going through the checkout process I get this warning and don't know how to fix it.

ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS_COWOA_ERROR_EXISTS

Can anyone help with a fix?
Thank you in advance.

Which version of COWOA did you install?

I install COWOA 2.4

Your using an existing email address account to test COWOA with. The ZC system is designed to use the email address to create accounts same with COWOA. this prevents duplicate accounts and other problems. the fact your seeing ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS_COWOA_ERROR_EXISTS means you are missing the define in your template english.php file, should be around line 200.

Try a different email address, check that you don't have an existing account, if the message stills triggers, make sure modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/no_account.php was not modified or fully loaded.

The code is functioning as it should if an account with that email address exist!

Thanks davewest

I was using and existing email. I did not know it worked like that. This mod is new to me.
I typed in a fake email and it went through.

Thanks again. Greatly appreciated.

Perhaps a silly question but is not a customer supposed to be able to come back and create an account after checking out COWOA before? This is the old version I'm talking about, not your beta version - which I'm going to go get.

Yes.. back as far as I can remember that's how it works..

When a current cowoa costumer comes back and decides to create an account ether during checkout or standard, the past orders, shipping addresses all become theirs based on the email address given.

Well, that's what I thought!

Just noticed my typo (in red).. Just for posterity, the file I MEANT to type is: tpl_login_cowoa_default.php

Has anyone tried this plugin with version 1.5.4?

Has anyone tried this plugin with version 1.5.4?

If you read through the last 2-3 pages of this thread or search for "1.5.4", you'll this question has been addressed..

Ok maybe I will re- phrase my question has anyone had any issues using cowoa 2.4 with version 1.5.4? I see that some post refer to version 1.5.3 and a beta version.

You CAN'T use v2.4 with 1.5.4 hence the discussions regarding the beta version..

For me, working fine and will take it live this weekend. Heavy modified ZC 1.5.4, responsive design.

Follow the install instructions, make backups, install and test on a test site before moving the files over to your main site. Use a compare program to compare files and don't just drop them.

If something not working right, come back and ask.. remember to give as much info as you can, we can't see what you did!

Gee your fast... so I'm corrected... the code works, but their is difference in ZC versions is why you shouldn't just drop files.... but the beta is working for me....
