Checkout without account

Hi

I am trying to implement craftzombies mod on a 1.2.5 version of zen. Can someone tell me if they already have a converted version that I can use. If not I have started to convert myself but have hit a snag. The file tpl_modules_create_account.php file does not exist in 1.2.5. Does anyone know what the equivilent file is in 1.2.5 version of zen.

Any advise appreciated.

Only doing this as an interim measure until I get time to convert to 1.3.7

Regards
Laurie

Hi Laurie,
I came to Zen Cart during version 1.3. I have no knowledge of older versions and their files, so I will be of no help to you. The Zen download on SourceForge only goes as far back as 1.3.0, so I cannot even get into 1.2.5 to look around.
Since 1.2.5 doesn't even have one of the files we need to edit for this mod, I'd be wary of even trying to mess around with any of the other files. I know this was supposed to be an interim measure, but I'd convert convert convert!!! And then I'd go with the other mod - the optional account mod.

Re: Checkout without account

Hello everybody,

I test this contribution on my home machine, i have quite a few other contribution installed, i got it to work with some problems like:

  • in the Billing page (the first page after you check out without account) the header in the billing information says "Lookup Order Information", the first menu under the checkout arrow is "TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_BILLING",
    the navigation breadcrumb shows Home :: Order Status

so i tried to install it in my testing site before i copy the files to the online site,
i got different problems like:

-Step 1 of 5 - Billing Information is ahowing on the top and the order steps is showing but not correctly (i do not see the steps bar, all i see is
BillingShippingPaymentOrder ReviewOrder Complete just the way you see it here).

  • I also step 2 of 5, step 3 of 5, .....
    in the last page Checkout :: Success - Thank You i still see the logoff button.

Re: Checkout without account

Hi, I've installed this mod with the Tableless Order Steps option, but this display has a problem (see attached pic) Attachment #2570 I have 'TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_BILLING' as the first step instead of 'Billing'

Any suggestions as to what's causing this please?

Re: Checkout without account

HI, I am in need of help again! I have installed craftzombie's zip file in my cart to be able to have people buy stuff without making an account with password. Most things are good, except when I test it and get to the billing information. I enter that and click submit and it gives me 2 warnings (required information) - one for choosing a salutation and one for giving my birthdate. I've been looking and looking for the files to take these 2 things out and cannot find them. The developers tool kit is not coming up with much it seems. The ones it does come up with - I find the files and make the changes I think needs to be done and nothing happens when I refresh my page. Where do I look for these files and where exactly are they supposed to be in zencart? I'm thinking I probably have these in the wrong place somehow.

Also - I have my cart configured so that you click on what you want, then it takes you to a page where you choose your options. The options listed are ok except that there's a space between the first and second options. The rest of them are spaced the same and looks good, but I dont like this big space between the first and second options. I think this is because the "add to cart" box is creating this space for some reason. Can I move this box down a bit?

And (another question) - I have also been looking for where I can change the "New products for November" thing on the index page. I've found some files where it says this, but the same thing happens - no change is actually made.

Can someone help me with this stuff? I'm desperately trying to get this cart done for my father in law so I can start working on my own stuff...
Thank you!

I believe these changes need to be made in the admin (but I could be wrong). Try it and see.

admin>configuration>customer details>email salutation = false

admin>configuration>customer details>date of birth = false

For the date of birth, there is another setting in the admin at admin>configuration>miminum values>date of birth. I have mine blank.

Did you try includes/languages/english.php? I could have sworn this was where I changed mine, but I did it so long ago that I can't remember for sure. A dev tool kit search for "New products for" gives

includes/languages/english.php
includes/languages/english/document_general_info.php
includes/languages/english/document_product_info.php
includes/languages/english/index.php
includes/languages/english/product_info.php

I am pretty sure it is the first one. Are you saving the file in the correct template folder? As in includes/languages/YOUR TEMPLATE/english.php?

Re: Checkout without account

Thank you so very very much! I figured I had it in the wrong place. I did change some of the other files - does that matter? Should I be changing them back? It didnt change anything in the cart so I left them...
The email and birthday things are fixed now, too.

So, now about the add to cart box - can that be moved? Am I correct in thinking that its posittion is what's making the big space between the first and second options? I wouldnt mind if the big space was between the third and fourth options. That would be better.

I'm also having trouble finding where I need to change the background color. I've tried several places, but no luck. I have turned off the sideboxes on both sides and would like to change the background color on where the sideboxes used to be. How do I do that?

Oh yes - another question! On the index page where it says "Welcome guest. Would you like to log yourself in?" - I need to change that since this site doesnt require logins now. I've looked and looked for that, too, and found nothing so far. Where do I go for that?

I really appreciate the help! I've been racking my brain....

Re: Checkout without account

Guess what... more questions! I've been trying to upload the cart to the live site (but not linked where customers can see it just yet) and it looks like it uploaded, but it's not showing up. In fact, I cant even get to the web site. I have the book, did like it said in installing zencart to my computer - using xampp and everything - and since then, I cant get to the real site. I tried turning off all the xampp things and it still wont bring up the site. Why is this? What am I missing here? I am assuming there is something I need to turn on or off in order to be able to access it again. Thanks in advance again!

Re: Checkout without account

Can someone please help me? I'm still having problems and now to boot - I uploaded the cart live (but not with a link from the site yet) and the products dont show up at all! I've been looking for where to change this setting - there must be a setting, right? It still looks good on my computer and all files were uploaded to the live site. It should look the same right? I'm also having problems logging back into the admin on my computer. I can log in on the live admin, but not the one on my computer. I hope not all of you are too busy with Thanksgiving preparations and all. Please help! I'm confused....

You should search the forum and post the questions that are not related to checking out without an account into the correct categories, that way the people with knowledge in those categories will know you need help. This thread is for issues regarding checking out without an account.

Re: Checkout without account

I am faced with a new problem and I am sure someone can help.
My client wants that his customers should use their membership number (and not their e-mail address) as username to login into the zen cart. Further, he wants to assign them passwords himself.
Any help

Re: Checkout without account

Hey GDOrn,

Did you ever get the hack into a form that's ready to release?

Just wondering...

I'll also mention that I found a really good free eBook 20 Ways to Convert Customers to Sales or something like that. In it he has an example that makes it look like he isn't asking the customer to create an account, he's just asking for info.

I haven't finished reading it to see if he gives step-by-step instructions on how to do it, but it's definitely the look I'm after.

Re: Checkout without account

craftzombie (or anybody else who can answer!):

I really want to install this module, but my ZenCart is so heavily modified that I don't know if I am capable [I am a designer, not a programmer].

I'm not really worried about the install files ... it's the 'tpl_header.php' file in the overrides folder that I'm scared of. I consulted the 'overrides-writes.txt' file, and it says replace this line > <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>

Sounds easy enough, but this is what is in my code:

<a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>">        
			<img id="header_my_account" src="<?php echo DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES?>header_my_account.gif" width="66" height="18" alt="" /></a></td>

Only the first half is there, so do I just replace it and not worry about the second half???

Also, is it even absolutely necessary to replace the 'tpl_header.php' file?

Need some guidance here. Thanks.

P.S. Using ZenCart v 1.3.7

Hello! Your site is using an image to display the My Account link instead of just using text, thats why the code looks a little different. Here is the correct code for your site, based on the code you gave above:

Find:

<a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><img id="header_my_account" src="<?php echo DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES?>header_my_account.gif" width="66" height="18" alt="" /></a>

And replace with:

<?php if (!($_SESSION['COWOA'])) { ?><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><img id="header_my_account" src="<?php echo DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES?>header_my_account.gif" width="66" height="18" alt="" /></a><?php } ?>

All we did here is add

<?php if (!($_SESSION['COWOA'])) { ?>

to the beginning

and then

<?php } ?>

to the end.

This tells Zen Cart that if a customers is using COWOA, then it should not display the My Account link in your header.

This is not mandatory and will not cause any problems with COWOA should you choose not to do it. Although, your customers might get confused.

:smile:

Nice site by the way!

Re: Checkout without account

I'm trying to use How did you hear about us and COWOA module together. It works with the create an account section, but not COWOA. Can someone tell me where I need to add code to make this work? I'm worried I'll mess this up!

Thanks!

Re: Checkout without account

Hi I'm using integrated cowoa (1.3.7) is that still the best way to go? or are there upgraded versions available?

I was wondering if someone could help me to remove the invoice link url from confirmation and status update emails since those are no longer needed with cowoa.. and somehow I really can't understand how those text only emails work..

thanks!

There is a COWOA for 1.3.8. It is used only with Zen 1.3.8 and you'll have no choice but to upgrade COWOA if you upgrade to Zen 1.3.8.
