Thanks for that - I had uninstalled exactly in line with your documentation - this information is additional to your documentation.
I replaced includes/modules/pages/login files with originals and page now loads correctly - why is this advice not part of the uninstall procedure in your documentation? it would save a lot of heartache. Maybe just instead of 'Delete all uploaded files from your store' include 'and replace with original files' - pretty simple really. (the file includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_login_default.php does not exist in non FEC site so does not need to be replaced).
I am happy with the end result - I am disappointed though that I had to shake your tree to get this sorted out.
The whole thing was brought about by the inability of this plugin to work with Ultimate SEO URLs which I and many thousands of ZenCart users have installed - works with CEON, why not Ultimate?
cheer, Mike

Re: Fast and Easy Checkout
Looks like at least /includes/languages/english/checkout_process.php is missing.
RULE OF THUMB: Whenever a plugin author like Numinix says "just delete the files" for uninstall instructions, DON'T BELIEVE THEM!!!!! (ref: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...65#post1273965 ). Always first make sure their files didn't replace files you originally had in that folder by the same name, and be sure to then put back the originals that you had replaced.
I wish plugin authors would put their additions in non-core files more reliably; that's what the extra_definitions folder is for.

Hello Doc - many thanks for responding - you were spot on !! replacing that file worked a treat.I will take your advice on board
As much as I am appreciative that many authors do the best they can I too am dismayed at what some authors DO NOT PROVIDE, especially those that have a commercial interest in potential sales of their premium pay for it versions of the freebie - these have a ready made audience of thousands of eCommerce clients. Anyway I will get off my soap box (soon).
The greater majority of my posts in here are because of lack of easy to follow detailed information in the docs of a plugin. The nutty professor factor comes into play all too often - the contributor assumes that the user is at their level, understands what he or she is 'trying to say' or just cannot put the instructions in words effectively such that others can follow them.
This particular plugin has caused me untold heartache because it has a conflict with Ultimate SEO URL's, something they well know but do not bother to put in their docs.
Is there an avenue at some point down the track to set up a 'template' so to speak that contributors must complete with all the necessary information that a non coder user would need including core files modified explicit install and uninstall instructions that actually work, as part of the approval process? I must admit I love Anne's docs (Picaflur Azul), extremely informative and with all the information needed - of course not everyone can provide docs to that extent however the minimum required 'content' should be achievable by all, fill in he spaces in the template.
Anyway - thanks again.
cheers,
Mike

If the module is not working with USU, you shouldshould ask about that in the USU thread. My experience though with fec and USU is that they work perfectly fine together. Maybe explaining a bit what is not working might help.
Re: Fast and Easy Checkout
ihungil (author) has recently( last week) released an upgraded version of USU incorporating code which will allow it and FEC to get along fine, for v1.5.1 onwards - prior to this for a long time the two were not compatible.
I mention it in here because it is not mentioned at all in the docs for FEC so users of FEC who use USU (thousands) find out the hard way - so it is an FEC (Numinix) issue and belongs in this thread.
ihungil's new version is not backwards compatible - I am using v1.3.9h on most of my sites so FEC will not work on them (pity, it is a nice plugin) - modification(s) to their code would allow it to work.
My big beef , aside from not letting potential users know that it wouldn't work with one of the most popular url plugins, is the lack of correct detail in the uninstall instructions which has caused me a lot of grief and that Numinix rarely visit the support forum - so I hope that appraises you :smile:
cheers,
Mike
p.s. why am I still using 1.3.9h which is technically no longer supported? - by choice, at present.

Upgrading is really not that difficult. I got into zencart at 138, had a completed fluid-designed store by 139h, only to find there were several key things missing or incomplete, mostly concerning security. Since 139h I have virtually used the same template and language files with only slight modifications (eg addition of responsive code and more fluid design). Very few of the upgraded files impact heavily upon the template and language files. Now I am almost up to date with 154, bar a few mods, having started the upgrade from 151 only a few weeks ago.
My 2c re FEC, USU and similar mods is do not even bother. Your stores already rank highly (more than most) on google, not through these mods but through your articles and associated websites.
Now is the time to upgrade.

and as authors of these mods will tell you themselves, there are other BUSINESS reasons to use a re-write module that have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with search engine ranking..
Funny thing is these kinds of "don't use pretty URLs" discussions NEVER happen on WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OpenCart, or PrestaCart forums where re-writing is BUILT IN to the core code.. yet here in the land of Zen Cart folks cling TIGHTLY to the belief that everyone should RUN RUN RUN form these modules.. Cracks me up.. The sentiment is as outdated as some of the code in the Zen Cart admin.. IJS..
Re: Fast and Easy Checkout
If individual pages are well written/structured and supported by good navigation, it should not really matter what the URL reads. On some sites, such as this forum, I often take advantage of the numerical system for skipping pages/rapid return to pages, and further exploration. Often much easier to type in a relatively short number than a lengthy description (especially since some sites require the complete lengthy description in order to even find the valid page, if the number is missing).
