ryanfc Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I am adding oscommerce to a clients web site and they have decided they do not want the user to have to "sign up" to buy the product. So I have changed the site around and I am using "fast easy checkout" to speed everything along. I have been testing the site and have come into a problem. A new user can come to the site and order a product, but if they return later and want to buy the product again when they fill out the order info it rejects it because the e-mail address already exists in the database. So I understand that it is creating an account for them in the database even though I don't really want it to do that. So one solution when be to have it not do that but I do not have enough php experience to alter the code for it not to create an account for them but still send all the info to the database so it remembers what they order and save all that info. So the easier step would be to take out the code where it checks to see if the e-mail is in the database. The product the client is selling more than likely will not be purchased multiple times from the same user. So if anyone can help me change the code so that it does not check the e-mail to see if it is already in the database that would be great. If on the off chance a user does return to buy the product again I am fine with them being in the database more than once. I just really need to get this project done. The address to the shopping cart is: http://gutterprotector.net/shopping/index.php if you are interested it checking it out. Thanks!
ozEworks Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 I have not looked at fast easy checkout. What you need is an old version of Purchase without Account which does in fact let you purchase without an account and does not create a customer for that account just an order. When I say old I mean old as the newer one changes to create an account I think. But once they have ordered without an account, they can't reorder it as there is no order history for them to access as they have no account.
