Allowing Customers to check out without registering

sarvasoap · #11 04-06-2010, 07:10 PM

Wow, thanks for checking! How nice of you! So, what's with these customers?

And why can't I even check out anonymously myself?

Don't suppose you remember which image? I don't get those warnings. I tell you, I'm about to go to a library or something so I can be as anonymous as possible and see this kind of stuff. LOL

There is at least one - the big image with the candles on front page. If you have warning messages in the browser suppressed you will not see them but you can check the padlock in the status bar

hmmm... I don't have any candles on my front page. Soaps? Thanks for that tip. I didn't know about that. I've only been using X-cart for 2 months - It's almost not a full-time job anymore...

Now, can you or someone else kindly refer me in the manual to how to handle these images that are kicking up https security warnings? I certainly don't want that happening. I'm only semi-geeky... I'm only an HTML and CSS person. Beyond that I can only follow along politely

Really appreciate your help!!

Sorry soaps yes.
Don't hard code the url for the image. Omit the http://www.domain.com part, use relative paths, xcart will do the rest. For this one you can use

I have 4.2.2 - and when I do the same (uncheck disable annonymous) I get the same problem - the customer has to register.

Is this also a bug in 4.2.2 ?, is there a fix.

(I love x-cart - but it seems whennever I need to make a change - there is always a bug)

4.3.2 has the same problem. I wanna remove User Signup from the whole site completely. Very frustrating.

Sorry - I should have updated.
It isnt a bug - it is just x-cart being x-cart ie WEIRD.

The 2 pages are the same.
Go into Admin, Languages, English, filter on 'lbl_flc_new_customer_text'
change the text you see in the box to something like for example - TEST CHECKOUT etc etc etc etc

then save and go and try it out.

Obviously make sure that before you do this you have annonymous disable checkout - is unchecked

I would also advise always take a backup before you make any changes to a live system and always test on a backup system first.
