My Checkout Without Account Mod

It would be a nice little feature if the COWOA sign-up page were to detect a downloadable product only is in the cart and instead of:

Continue to Step 2

  • provide delivery information.

It says something like:

Continue to next step

  • payment information

There is no easy way to do it, although you really only need to remove the code that was added to the login page. If a customer has no access to that section of the login page, then the mod is never used. Leaving the other changes made when you uploaded will not hurt anything.

Hi craftzombie

Thanks once again for your help.

I have now managed to disable the button and the header links, thanks to your help.

If you do get time to investigate the order status bar problem in IE I would really appreciate it.

Learning slowly as I go with this.

Regards
Laurie

With the help of this topic, and this topic here (reply no 83): http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53786&page=9
I was able to work around the IE7 "bug" but I needed to change some more settings to prevent the border to exceed the progress bar too much which resulted in a ugly trailing white space.

In all css related files:

Starting at around line 5:

#order_steps {       /* Is needed for the centering in IE */
    padding: 5px 1px;
    margin: 10px 10px;
    text-align: center;
	 border: 1px solid #000000;
	 height:70px;
}

In contrary to the provided solution in the topic, I didn't disabled the padding as it wraps the progress bar in checking out without account.

Next: All widths which were 25% have been changed to 24.9% (find 25% and replace with 24.9%).

And furthermore the changes from the above mentioned topic:

.progressbar_active {
   /* background: url(../images/orderstep.png) repeat-x;    */
	 background-color: #3DA200; /* Determines the active color of the completed part of the line */
	 width:24.9%;
	 float:left;
	 height: 5px;
	 line-height:5px;
	 color: #3DA200;
}

.progressbar_inactive {
    background: url(../images/orderstep.png) repeat-x;    
	 background-color: #9A9A9A; /* Determines the active color of the completed part of the line */
	 width:24.9%;
	 float:left;
	 height: 5px;
	 line-height:5px;
	 color: #9A9A9A;
}

.progressbar_active_COWOA {
    /*background: url(../images/orderstep.png) repeat-x;    */
	 background-color: #3DA200; /* Determines the active color of the completed part of the line */
	 width:20%;
	 float:left;
	 height: 5px;
	 line-height:5px;
	 color: #3DA200;
}

.progressbar_inactive_COWOA {
    background: url(../images/orderstep.png) repeat-x;  
	 background-color: #9A9A9A; /* Determines the active color of the completed part of the line */
	 width:20%;
	 float:left;
	 height: 5px;
	 line-height:5px;
	 color: #9A9A9A;

Hope this helps anyone.

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

Hi

Can anyone tell me how I can change the subject and the content of the email that is sent to the shop owner, when someone checks out without an account.

I do not want to change the create account email when someone checks out with an account.

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

Hi,

Just after a bit of advice, as my head is spinning after spending the afternoon reading about checkout modules/paypal/etc.

Here's what I'd like my site to do:

  • allow customers to choose if they want an account or not
  • preferably pay on my site, or if on Paypal not have to duplicate all the info they've already entered (Express requires a Paypal account, which puts me off)

I think I need Paypal Payments Pro, plus this module. Am I right? Oh, and I'm choosing Paypal because they accept HK Dollars (the business is in Hong Kong).

Cheers,
Adam.

Laurie,

I have actually never installed this mod -- i've only had a distant interest and sometimes read this thread... BUT, one thing that might get you to the correct location for editing the subject/content of the owner-generated email:

Admin>Tools>Developer Tool Kit

Try pasting some subject/content info from those emails into the search and see what you wind up with.

The guy who made this mod submitted it to the Zen people but it was never put in the download section. Then he couldn't support the mod any longer and I needed to update the mod to work with 1.3.8, so I grabbed it, fixed it for 1.3.8, and put it up on my site for download. That is the only place, as far as I know, where it is available.

Many, many thanks!!! You rock!!

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

i am getting this error when i try to run the sql. file

the mod seemed to have worked.. but now i cant access my customer database in my admin?

1062 Duplicate entry 'Permanent Account Holders Only' for key 2
in:
[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');]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

I've been using the COWOA module successfully for 4 months now. Thank you!

I'm in the process of implementing gift certificates and I've encountered a problem I can't seem to find any references to on the forum. I was able to add a gift certificate to my cart and checkout without an account.

If I don't send the gift certificate from the checkout confirmation screen then there's no way to 'log back in' to either use the gift certificate or send it to someone else.

It's working correctly in that if I'm the recipient of the gift certificate I can not redeem it without creating an account.

On a related point: I have a downloadable product in my store. Whenever someone checks out without an account they're unable to get back and download the product so I end up manually e-mailing them the product.

My question: Is there a simple way to prevent checking out without an account if the customer has either a downloadable product or a gift certificate in their cart?

Thank you!

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

Hi

The last few customers that have checked out from my site have created accounts. Some have not completed, and looks like they have created accounts but then not logged in and continued.

How can I put the checkout without account at the top of the page and make it more prominent, so the customer does not get confused.

This is my site www.chalfont gifts.co.uk

I have broken the link to stop google indexing this link to the site.

Regards
Laurie

If they create an account later with the same email address, does the gift certificate appear?

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

Hello,

I'm trying to configure the Cowa mod in version 1.3.8 on IIS6. I'm copying the files to the directories as required and when I paste the queries into the box and hit send this is what I get:

1364 Field 'query_keys_list' doesn't have a default value
in:
[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');]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Can someone help? I'm stumped.

Thanks!

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

I uploaded all of the files to the correct folders on my site. Is there something else I'm supposed to do? I'm new to addons. Is there somewhere where I am supposed to enable this? Because right now it's not working. Thanks.

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

Duh! I was reading the overwrites-writes.txt file, thinking it was the "install.txt" file, and that's all I had to do was upload those files.
Now I see there's more to it in the actual install.txt file. Sorry!
:oops:

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

OK. I've got it all installed and it's working great. I did install the two optional addons. There is a weird problem with the ordersteps addon and styling.

I made changes to no_acccount.css to change the color of the progress bar and the text above it, and also to reduce the vertical height of the "box". All my changes are there when I check out without an account. However, if I check out WITH an account, none of my changes are there! And yes I did make the changes in both parts of the css, when there is one style with _CWOA and one without. I double-checked that.

And furthermore, in IE7, there is a float drop when checking out WITH an account. The "order complete" part falls below the "shipping" part.

My custom no_account.css file is in includes/templates/custom/css.

I'm totally baffled! I wanted to attach the css file but it's too big!
