4.4.5
Awesome. I hadn't seen this discussion until today so I apologize for my late feedback.

I agree Carpeperdiem. Even we are joking, BCSE is fixing a defect inside X-Cart souce code. It is not a bug in code, it is a defect.

May I ask you when we will have another important defect fixed? A true Address Book! QT promised a fixed, then it was OK from their point of view (I did not share it). In 2013 I guess this should be fixed once and for all.

Off-topic: I started debugging Magento to create a website for a friend of mine. Normally I do not offer such of service, but for fun I can do it. Could you believe Magento has tons of features missing comparing with X-Cart? But some of the features are very powerful - Page, Blocks, Attributes, Extensions. Even the admin interface is nice looking. To join more people to your solution you have to take the best from the others having a smooth switch for all.

I think we're going with 'Anonymous Customer Registration' for the title. Thanks Jeremy for the suggestion, that helped us come up with the above. I'm still debating between yours and that one but I think the vote went for the above.

Also it's going to be a good bit more difficult to do pre 4.4.x for this (because of X-cart restrictions on username). So if anyone is needing it for a version before 4.3.x contact us for a quote. We're going to make it free for 4.4.x through 4.6.x.

Thanks,

Carrie

Re: Anonymous to registered customer conversion
 

Good job Carrie.

This should be included by default in the next X-Cart v4 versions.

OK here it is! If you have more feature requests please do email us. We may consider making a paid version too if there are a lot of features requested. I just tested this out in 4.5.x before I released it and it's pretty simple, but cool!

One bonus we never talked about is we have the option to associate old anonymous orders by the same email address to the new user that is created. I think that feature is a great feature to have that I don't think we discussed but it's in there!

Feel free to donate for it too if you like it. It did take more hours than we usually spend on a free mod.

Re: Anonymous to registered customer conversion
 

Since i made the original post, let me be the first to say THANK YOU.
I also purchased the CIM module you have on sale --- its a win win situation.

Thanks again Carrie

Re: Anonymous to registered customer conversion
 

Not a problem! Glad we could help!

It looks though like you got the DPM module, did you mean to get that one or the CIM?

Thanks,

Carrie

Re: Anonymous to registered customer conversion
 

i don't store or wish to store customer credit card numbers and if that is the only major difference, then DPM will do. If i got this wrong please point me in the right direction.

BTW, The patch and installation was easy however i can't get the Free module to appears in general setting/modules nor the "create user" button in order details page. I have cleared templates etc but still no love


thanks.
