COWOA (for ZC v1.5.x)

countrycharm:

Most problems occur because the files are not being uploaded to there correct directories or you have not merge the files correctly. Make sure you renamed the Admin_Folder and the YOUR_TEMPLATE folders to your custom folder name that you are using. The forgot password function should work with no problems.

I suspected that might be the issue at first so I did a find on the folder I downloaded for this plugin searching all files for this function. It came up in the header file for password recovery calling the function but the function itself was not found. Could you point me to the file that contains that function?

I did some digging. This function is new in 1.5.1 so this plug-in is not 1.5.0 compatible. It is compatible for 1.5.1 or greater.

Cowoa is compatible with Zen Cart v1.5.0 and Zen Cart v1.5.1. I don't know why you are getting and 500 error from the forgot password function. I have two test servers, one is zen cart v1.5.0 and the other is zen cart v1.5.1. I'm not getting any errors you are describing at all. You much have done something for it not to work.

Works just fine on my 1.5 site.

I didn't see mention of this before, so thought I'd share my experience - happily a problem and a solution!

Just installed COWOA on 1.5.1 and noticed an issue on the first checkout page, billing. At the top where the billing steps are shown it read "TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_BILLING".

I tracked this down to the file: /includes/language/english/extra_definitions/order_steps_defines.php , however to work in my install I had to place the file in this path: /includes/language/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/order_steps_defines.php

I am using the Cherry-Zen template.

Thought I'd pass this on in case it is of interest to others. On the other hand being a complete newb to Zen Cart and php, I may just have screwed up an install somewhere along the line!

Finally, thanks for all the great work on this, and your responsiveness in these forums.

When using the Ty Package Tracker plugin

How does that work with COWOA on Zen 1.51.1? Any problems? It seems without an account login customers wouldn't be able to track their orders?

They can track their orders just fine.

They get redirected to a page that asks for Order ID and email address.

• This may have been an addition from Super Orders, not sure as I installed them at the same time.

Thanks for clarifying, I already had Tracking installed and did COWOA and SO at the same time and just vaguely remember the bits needed for Tracking.

The shipper's tracking number appearing on the customer order detail page come's from Ty Package Tracker not Super Orders or COWOA.. That all said there is no reason add-ons all three can't work together..

I understand that. And all 3 work wonderfully together.

Please can you help? I have just installed COWOA 2.3 because I don't want customers to have to sign in to anything before they order. However, the checkout now goes to a login page with 2 choices - signing up for new customers and logging in for existing customers. So, something has changes as this is a new layout to previously, but this is not the solution I was looking for. Could anyone please advise where I went wrong?

CANCEL this! I've just found the part in the instructions to tell me how to activate COWOA. All working now! Doh!

Please review the readme and your install.. Either COWOA is installed wrong or it's not turned on in the admin..

I see you have it working. Just the littlest things can mess things up. Thank goodness for the install docs..........

Thank you all for your advice.That's all sorted now.
BUT... the COWOA has changed the page layout by raising the navMainWrapper up and the logo and tagline are now directly below it. This has resulted in the tagline showing higher up than the logo and I just cannot find a way to remedy this. Can anyone help please?
Thanks

Cowoa doesn't touch any page that would change the layout of what you are describing.

Thanks, Countrycharm. I'm really confused now as I don't think that I touched anything to do with the navMainWrapper or logo. I've used Firefox bug to see if I can make some minor adjustments to the positioning of the page as it is now. I think that I can re-arrange things so I'll give it a try.

Hi -
using Zen 1.5 and new version of COWOA updated on my site createadesign.net:
I select an item (I used model fc6115), entered a quantity and selected checkout without opening an account
on the next screen, the system asks for a shipping address, so I enter enter same,
on the next screen, the system asks for a billing address so I enter same
on next screen, the system asks for the shipping method - but when I look at the top of the screen for the billing address, the system displays the shipping address & NOT the billing address.
and when a credit card is run through Paypal it is rejected for the billing address details are incorrect (the shipping details)
Thanx in advance for your help
