1.7.3 works with 1.3.9a but there are 2 core changes from 1.3.8a to 1.3.9a specifically admin/orders.php and includes/classes/order.php but this mod does not work on php 5.3.x with any version.

Thanks for the reply and I appreciate where you are coming from and respect your opinion but I feel you are wrong.

All tasks in life require a learning curve, that is not the issue, the issue is if something can be easily merged or not. And from a NON-programmers point of view.. it is NOT an easy task. So from my NON-programmers point of view this is NOT a compatible mod. That is the point I am trying to make. But I guess this is all relative.

You may not consider yourself a skilled developer but users like me look up to users like you as you are clearly more skilled. You have set yourself up with a site on developing zc sites, you are regular active in the forums with good and accurate advice. While this is not your 1st source of income, your 1st source of income is in IT.. so you're skills are even more honed to this area.

consider this... how many users in this community ask questions that have already been answered in FAQ, installation guides, or ask questions about basic CSS, adding static links or even changing the layout. Would these people be able to mod FEC without several hours of confusion?

I guess ultimately we will have to agree to disagree.

(guess the next post will be from Kim saying im WAY off topic ;))

DivaVocals:

Respectfully it doesn't take any developing skill to use Winmerge.. And I will maintain what I have always maintained with regards to tools like Zen Cart and the average store owner.. This tool (nor any other open source tool) will NEVER be as easy as ready made plug-n-play software.. Using these tools will ALWAYS require you to be WILLING to pick up some additional skills in order to customize or maintain it.. So I maintain that if a simple Winmerge is what is needed, then while it may not be an EASY task, easy should not be the qualification to determine incompatibility..

I say all of this and add that I am in no ways a "skilled developer" as in the likes of the author of this mod, Kuroi, and others who frequent this forum. I am merely an HTML developer who needed to step her game up because websites are no longer about static pages.. They are about dynamic content, and e-commerce. So the skills I speak of are skills I myself had to develop IF I wanted to make this tool something I offered to my clients.. (and for the record, while my day job is in Information Technology-Software development, developing websites is not how I earn my living, it is my second job in effect)

Shane78:

**Would these people be able to mod FEC without several hours of confusion?**IMO, yes... (Read lankeeyankee's post.. two files where core changes need to be made.. sounds like fairly low hanging fruit..) It's a simple matter of READING and asking questions.. at the simpliest.. it's really a matter of TRYING..

Shane78:

**I guess ultimately we will have to agree to disagree.**That we will..

calm down for crying out loud, are you like this with ALL people that disagree with YOU!

LOL...

well, if its such any easy task there will be hardly any posts in the fourm RE this and 139

Can someone tell me how to get this working on 1.3.9a? I dont have any programming skills, so a reply for a dummy would be appreciated.

I tried updating myself last night but the right sidebox and footer disappeared, and although I want my customers to checkout without registration, the registration would no longer work?

Its now uninstalled :frusty:

Thanks for any help or advice. :unsure:

If not, is there a way to downgrade to 1.3.8?

Shane78:

LOL...I am plenty calm.. Simply answered you, no emotions involved..

Shane78:

well, if its such any easy task there will be hardly any posts in the fourm RE this and 139That's not true at all, and not what I was trying to imply.. Simply stating things, I like to empower people to TRY, not tell them they can't do it.. There are some Zen Cart tasks which might require REAL programming skills.. This is not one of them as using Winmerge is not programming 'tis all.. And if anyone has trouble, they can simply TRY and ask questions so that they walk away having LEARNED.. Teach a man to fish..

LOL, fair enough, i dont wish to fall out with a fellow zenner... :hug:

instead of fighting, why not instruct me :hug:

Thats not fighting, thats flirting ;)

hahaha, i wouldnt be able to help you properly... its a mod that i never studied very well as i dont use it on my sites. Ms Vocals is better at this than me.

however, it is reported that this mod is not PHP5.3 ready... i dont know about your hosts but mine are upgrading to PHP5.3 in the very near future.. so im avoiding mods like this until a developer re-works them...

sorry

thats a shame, is there anyother solution for a one page checkout, registration is likely to cause a lot of harm financially :(

sorry i cant help.. my stores are all b2b not b2c so not only do i require a customer to have an account they also have to be approved to make orders. Im sure someone else will know tho...

just had a quick look.. what about Easy Sign Up 2?
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=957

never tried it so cant give any advice... :(

Thanks m8, ill take a look. :yes:

moesoap:

instead of fighting, why not instruct me :hug:Not fighting.. Discussing.. No emotions involved (only the ones you assume are there) As for your issues, you haven't provided NEARLY enough information.

• What version PHP is your host running? (if PHP 5.3 -STOP as just RECENTLY posted, this mod is NOT PHP 5.3 compatible)
• Did this mod work for you before you upgraded and then STOP working???
• Did you use a tool like Winmerge or Beyond Compare to "update" yourself??
• If so what files did you edit?? (my understanding is that two core files are the heart of the edits required to make this module 1.3.9a compatible)
• Link to your site might be useful..

I've been trying to figure this out and now I must ask the guru's of this board! :)

On the Check Out page I would like to change the "Order Comments" title. Where would I find this file to do that?

Also, we are getting customers calling us saying that the shipping part of the one page checkout is saying:

United Parcel Service
111210: The requested service is unavailable between the selected locations.
If you prefer to use ups as your shipping method, please contact...

If you click change address and then click continue with out actually changing the address, then the UPS will show rates for your zip code.

This is only happening with 1 out of 10 customers. Any thoughts?

Thanks

When you say Order Comments, do you mean where it says Special Instructions or Order Comments?

If so, there are several places.

I found these by using the Admin - Tools - Developers Tool Kit in the admin screen.

store/includes/languages/english/checkout.php

Line #33 : define('TABLE_HEADING_COMMENTS', 'Special Instructions or Order Comments'); 


store/includes/languages/english/checkout_confirmation.php

Line #20 : define('HEADING_ORDER_COMMENTS', 'Purchase Order Number, Special Instructions or Order Comments'); 


store/includes/languages/english/checkout_payment.php

Line #22 : define('TABLE_HEADING_COMMENTS', 'Purchase Order Number, Special Instructions or Order Comments'); 


store/includes/languages/english/checkout_shipping.php

Line #25 : define('TABLE_HEADING_COMMENTS', 'Purchase Order Number, Special Instructions or Order Comments'); 


store/includes/languages/english/fec_confirmation.php

Line #20 : define('HEADING_ORDER_COMMENTS', 'Special Instructions or Order Comments'); 

You may not need them all, but it won't hurt to change them all should you uninstall FEC. (Don't remember if I added Purchase Orders or not so yours may not say that exactly)

The UPS thing I can't say if it only happens 1 out of 10. More explicit information would be needed to run that one down.

Hi guys, been having a few issues with Fast and Easy checkout...

One issue was when I had the "Checkout Without Account" installed, every time I filled in the Billing Address, and continued, it asked me to add Billing address again, basically the same page...weird? Any ideas?

Easy Sign Up and Login!
Anyway, thats not my issue right now, I can manage without that, but, please take a look at this broken page, is this a coding issue for me to do or is their a setting within Zen Cart that will enable the page to display "unbroken"

Heres the link, im using version Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Patch: 1::
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8

I don't see anything wrong with that screen, created an account and all went well. What are you seeing? I used both Firefox 3.63 and IE 7 to view it.

Can you tell me what version of the 5.3x you actually tested this on?

I ran it on a Wamp Server with PHP 3.0 installed and got it to run by removing 1 character in /includes/templates/YOUR TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_checkout_stacked.php. Here is what I did to make it work.

	  <?php
	    } else {
	  ?>
	  <h2 id="checkoutShippingHeadingMethod"><?php echo TITLE_NO_SHIPPING_AVAILABLE; ?></h2>
	  <div id="checkoutShippingContentChoose" class="important"><?php echo TEXT_NO_SHIPPING_AVAILABLE; ?></div>
	  <?php
	    }
	  ?>
	  </fieldset>
	  <?php
 [B] /*[/B]   }    [B]*/[/B]
	  ?>
	  <!--EOF SHIPPING-->

Look for the above code around line 290 and just put the comment tags around the bracket } .

As I said, it worked for me.

Please let me know if you try this and your results. Remember to say what version of PHP 5.3x you are running.
