My Checkout Without Account Mod

I installed this mod early on when I started developing my website. This was one of the first mods I installed. I'm almost finished with my website when I tested the downloads and found that COWOA won't allow customers to download products (instant download) unless they are logged in. Once they click the download button, they are taken to the login page.

Is there not an easy way around this? Or does this entail a huge rewrite?? I hope not!!

Please help! :frusty:

my site is for downloads too! HHmmmm am I wasting time on this mod? I hope not because if I can get it working as intended it would be perfect for my needs.

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

I re-read the readme file and it does say that the customer is actually creating an account however the details are hidden and password is not required.

I am not a programmer but if that is the case then logically it should work if whatever file that references the checkout success references those account details before the customer gets logged off.

I used this mod and made further modifications on the login page, took out most of the details the customer needs to input except for email, name, city, country. It would be perfect PERFECT if we can get COWOA to work!!

Please help!!! :frusty:

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

So instead of fretting about changing all the codes, I just disabled COWOA which is just commenting it out from the login page so it won't show.

Then I reworded the whole checkout experience so that the customer will just be entering the details for checkout (when actually they are creating an account).

The only info I require is first name, last name, city, state, country, email and password then they can checkout and download the files.

short and sweet :D

If I may ask.... and maybe you'll answer? :smile:

How did you eliminate street address, zip code, and telephone number? I have no need for these fields but admin doesn't off to disable these. (unless I'm missing something.)

I'm just learning to deal with php.

I see you still require a password so that means at some point one needs to create an account.

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

I am not a programmer but I learned some tricks and tips while creating websites for our company.

In order to disable the other customer details that you don't need. First you have to get the no telephone required mod. Once you download that, go to Admin-->minimum values and make telephone number minimum value 0. While you are there, go to the other details you DON'T need and turn them to 0 (like street address).

Then open up your includes/templates/your template/templates/tpl_modules_create_account.php

This is where you comment out the customer details you DON'T need. To comment out just put a <!-- in the beginning of the code and a --> on the end of the code e.g:

<!-- commented out I don't need this info from customer <label class="inputLabel" for="street-address"><?php echo ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS; ?></label> <?php echo zen_draw_input_field('street_address', '', zen_set_field_length(TABLE_ADDRESS_BOOK, 'entry_street_address', '40') . ' id="street-address"') . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?> <br class="clearBoth" /> <?php if (ACCOUNT_SUBURB == 'true') { ?> <label class="inputLabel" for="suburb"><?php echo ENTRY_SUBURB; ?></label> <?php echo zen_draw_input_field('suburb', '', zen_set_field_length(TABLE_ADDRESS_BOOK, 'entry_suburb', '40') . ' id="suburb"') . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_SUBURB_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_SUBURB_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?> <br class="clearBoth" /> <?php } ?> -->

save the file in your custom template templates file. Refresh your login page and you should now see a shorter version of the login.

The other thing you should do is to go to your login.php file and rephrase the wordings on your login. I put in "Enter information below for checkout" instead of the standard wording.

Unfortunately I can't get rid of the password since this requires some coding..but you can word it to say "enter password (needed to track your order)"

This will work with downloads, gift certificates and pop up invoice at checkout success.

The only other thing I just thought of that would conflict with this is that if a customer tries to add a review and not logged in, they are taken to the login page which is now rephrased for checkout and this might confuse them. I'm thinking of commenting the whole button out and just installing the testimonial manager now renamed review. See the renaming of the testimonial manager here

I would show you a working link of my website but it's currently on my localhost under development and ready soon!!!

Hope this helps! :)

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

Hi sunflowertami

it does help. Thanks for taking the time. I'll reread again later. I'd like to view your site when it's ready. I always like to see what others come up with for their designs.

thanks again for your time

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help.

We've attempted to install this module, yet had little success.

Our site is stored on the server in /1to1music.co.uk

We've uploaded /includes to /1to1music.co.uk/includes (having replaced the 'Your Template' with our own)

Second, regarding overrides, the cowoa code, outlined in overrides.txt is already present.

Third, we've installed the SQL and, finally, set to 'true' the split screen value.

However, when we access our test site the cowoa module isn't present.

Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks

Ciaran

I can't find any products on your site (http://84.51.237.128/index.php) that are not "sold out". COWOA will not appear unless there are items in the cart. Have you tested with products that are in stock?

Hi, thanks for your reply.

Our starter electric guitar package - the sun burst model - is in stock. Here's a link: http://84.51.237.128/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=16_47&sort=20a&action=buy_now&products_id=20

Thank you

Ciaran

If you type in http://84.51.237.128/index.php?main_page=no_account, the page does appear.... so COWOA is installed. I was able to get to the next step of COWOA, but couldn't complete checkout because of issues with shipping to my location. So everything looks fine except for the fact that its not appearing on your login page. The file may not have transfered properly or the correct code was not entered if you added the COWOA code manually to /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_login_default.php.

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

Craftzombie,

Again, thanks for your help. We've re dragged the tpl_modules_no_account.php and tpl_no_account_default.php into the

/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/ folder, yet at checkout there is still no cowoa link.

Any ideas?

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

YOUR_TEMPLATE needs to be what you have defined as your template folder, ex. classic.

I'm not talking about tpl_modules_no_account.php or tpl_no_account_default.php, I said tpl_login_default.php.

tpl_modules_no_account.php & tpl_no_account_default.php are already working, thats why I was able to go to http://84.51.237.128/index.php?main_page=no_account

I'm attempting to install this and I wanted to say "hi."
I may have a few questions but the instructions look good and clear.

Re: My Checkout Without Account Mod

I'm having the same problem with https://www.liferingtest.com that ciaran121music was having. I can actually get to the first page of the COWOA sequence, but it COWOA doesn't show on the login page. Following your suggestion, I re-loaded tpl_login_default.php, but it doesn't seem to help.

I've been staring at this stupid thing since Monday and I can't see any more; can someone lend me a fresh pair of eyes??

@hedera

Do you have split-login enabled?

Admin -> Config -> Layout Settings.
