My Checkout Without Account Mod

I see. Yes some of my customers create accounts and then forget their passwords, dont understand how to retrieve said password and if they get that far, dont understand that they need to change their password to something they can remember after retrieving the password that was given to them to get into their account. See where I am going here? LOL Many of my customers are not as computer savvy as others.

So....what they do is just go to place the order without creating an account. And boom! that red box jumps up at them and they run like little school girls from the big bad bully, never to return.

You know how fragile I am with zen cart :shocking: many of my customers are that fragile with even being on the computer. Just trying to make it as stress free as possible, ya know?

thanks for the info!
Kristi

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

Has anyone noticed this mod creating two entries in the database for the same customer if they use COWOA? Like it is performing twice and assigning a new customers_id each time...

Not for me. I was in my database a few days ago, deleting all of the cowoa customers, and there was only one instance of each of them.

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

That is why instructions are included to manually install the code into files that you do not want to override.

Install the SQL using your Zen Cart admin panel..

Admin>Tools>Install SQL Patches

Best not to use the upload feature, just copy and paste the script into the large box and then click Send.

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

The only difference between COWOA and regular checkout is a page called no_account. Customers are entering their name, address, etc. on a page that is not requiring a password. Every other step of checkout is the same. There should be no problems with any payment methods that the regular checkout would do fine with. If its not going to work with regular checkout, than it won't work with COWOA.

Any formatting issues would have to do with your browser or PayPal.

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

thanks zombie. I tested in ie and all is fine might be a ff issue...... something strange is deffo going on with the formatting..... Im just trying to figure out the returning customer problem im having. Ill read the documentation a bit more but the issue im tackling is the whole (returning customer email/password) thing. if you can point me in the right direction id appreciate it :) but ill read the previous posts/google for a bit and see if i can figure it out myself :)

Thanks Zombie :)

actually i may have deleted the section to sign up when i was killing paypal express with my axe..... lol. ill work on that.

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

Just installed COWOA into a test store that was just upgraded to 1.3.8a. Everything works until you fill in the "no account" page information. Clicking continue gives me a blank page instead of the payment information page. The URL looks ok... any ideas?

Test store is here: Test Store Link

TIA

I created an account and still had the same problem. Its not just with COWOA. Maybe some files didn't upload properly during the upgrade? It happens all the time.

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

I'm preparing to install this mod. I compared all of my files to the overwrites directlory. I will need to hand modify three files. The first one I'm looking at is tpl_header.php.

The directions for making modifications by hand shows a single change:

FIND:
-

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>


-

REPLACE WITH:
-

<?php if (!($_SESSION['COWOA'])) { ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li><?php } ?>

-

When I compare my file to the COWOA overwrite file I have two references to FILENAME_ACCOUNT within the navigation display piece:

<!--bof-navigation display-->
      <div id="navMainWrapper">
        <div id="navMainSearch">
          <?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?>
        </div>
        <div id="navMain">
          <ul>
            <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></span></a></li>
            <?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></span></a></li>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></span></a></li>
            <?php
      } else {
        if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
?>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></span></a></li>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></span></a></li>
            <?php } } ?>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></span></a></li>
            <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><span class="last"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></span></a></li>
          </ul>
        </div>
      </div>
      <!--eof-navigation display-->   

I'm using the cherry zen template. My question is: will I also need to add in the COWOA logic on that second reference to FILENAME_ACCOUNT?

Another difference between my file and the COWOA version is that the COWOA version has the following code at the beginning of the file:

<?php
  // Display all header alerts via messageStack:
  if ($messageStack->size('header') > 0) {
    echo $messageStack->output('header');
  }
  if (isset($_GET['error_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['error_message'])) {
  echo htmlspecialchars(urldecode($_GET['error_message']));
  }
  if (isset($_GET['info_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['info_message'])) {
   echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['info_message']);
} else {

}
?>

I don't see that as needing to be added in the overwrite by hand directions.

I'm not a programmer so I apologize about the simplistic nature of these questions. I just don't want to cause myself problems by doing this wrong.

Thank you,
Kathy

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

I decided to go for it. I added conditional logic for both references to FILENAME_ACCOUNT and I added in the messagestack code as well. I've tested fairly extensively and it all seems to be working. :clap: If you think that approach has side effects I may not be aware of please let me know.

A wonderful mod, thank you!
