Purchase without account - can't install

[alum316]

I have a shop running with BTS template system installed. I'm using the CSS-fluid-1 theme. With Osc 2.2MS2

 

I wanted to install Purchase Without Account contrib but in catalog/login.php (which was replaced when I installed BTS) the table code to replace (that shows the actual login or create new account area) is not in the file, hence, I can't replace it so I can't use the contrib.

 

Is there a better purchase without account contrib (I only found two and one pointed to the other) or a way to make this one work?

 

Thanks

You need to merge the files, not just replace them. Find the changes in the login.php which are made in the contribution and then add them to your existing file.

When you use BTS and want to add a contrib, you will also have to take into account the relevant template files.

Is Paul Mathot around? He seems to be the guy to do the most work on BTS lately.

 

I tried merging the files found in Guest Account contrib (http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1511/category,all/search,guest+account) but because the BTS files are different, it made the changed pages load the old oscommerce header instead of my template headers and totally messed up the page. I replaced them with the backups to change them back, but I'm still without guest ability.

 

I think what I basically need to know is either:

 

a) where the code that creates the way the pages look on these files went, since things like the login box are no longer on the login.php page, the creat account form is no longer on create_account.php etc:

 

/catalog/account_edit.php

/catalog/checkout_payment.php

/catalog/checkout_shipping.php

/catalog/checkout_success.php

/catalog/create_account.php

/catalog/login.php

/catalog/logoff.php

/catalog/includes/column_right.php

/catalog/includes/form_check.js.php

/catalog/includes/header.php

 

I looked in my template files and there is only the main page template (which includes none of this), common_top and the stylesheets. If I could find where the code is to replace I could replace it and doing a in files search just crashed my computer.

 

or

 

B) Figure out how to merge the relevant info into the files so that my template structure remains intact on those pages. I tried inserting just the table code from the Guest Account files into the appropriate BTS files (leaving out body tags and such, trying to include only the actual form tables) and got parse errors.

 

Can anyone shine a light on this or am I just stuck with either dumping BTS or not having guest accounts and losing some sales?

 

Thanks much

Easy way....

 

If you want to make life easier for yourself dump BTS , if not you will have similar problems about everytime you want to add a new contribution.

 

Hard way......

 

Sit down and study BTS and how it works, then you will be able to modify contributions to work together with BTS.
