Purchasing as guest

[rkchapin]

I have notiiced some shopping carts that give an option on a login page to purchase as guest thus avoiding a password where the customer is willing for the extra hassle of entering the shipping address every time. I usually have seen this done with a radio box. Has anyone done this and does anyone have the php code snipplets to do this.

Thanks in advance :

Thanks so much. I have unzipped your files. It seems as long as I back up my files, I should be able to upload all the files without making any manual edits. Right? The only thing that confused me is : I know that you altered the DB below but...??

 

ALTER TABLE `customers` ADD `createaccount` CHAR( 1 ) DEFAULT 'Y' NOT NULL ;

ALTER TABLE `customers` ADD `confirmation_key `VARCHAR(40) DEFAULT 'tempemptyconfirm' NOT NULL;

 

Is this a phpadmin thing. I am not sure how to run "use your mysql program to run the above " Excuse me for my lack of SQL experience.

yes but there is a space in one of the lines

`confirmation_key `

where it shouldn't be so run this code

ALTER TABLE `customers` ADD `createaccount` CHAR( 1 ) DEFAULT 'Y' NOT NULL ;

ALTER TABLE `customers` ADD `confirmation_key`VARCHAR(40) DEFAULT 'tempemptyconfirm' NOT NULL;

and yes if you run all the files you should be ok

Thanks Worked fine without the space. Rob
