Hi,

As subject really - I enabled guest checkout in the settings but it isn't available as an option if I hit 'checkout' on the front end of the store - I just get the 2 options: Register Account / Returning Customer.

Ver 1.4.9.4 / Default Theme.

Any help appreciated!

Jon.

When you ticked the box for Guest Checkout did you hit the save button?.

Figured it out.

I'm using the Free Downloads extension: http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... on_id=1209 that allows you to attach technical docs to a product for a customer to download. Unfortunately, a consequence is Opencart now classes this physical product as a downloadable product and disables guest checkout if this product is in the cart.

:(

I see that you already tried to contact the creator of that Extension. Lets hope he reads the comments.

Just ran into this one while testing. It's an issue for me because the site is reasonably likely to have people guest checkout a few times for physical products and then buy some downloads and possibly be surprised by having to register.

If it's something that bothers you, can work around it like this:

In catalog/language/english/checkout/checkout.php, add something like:

Code: Select all

$_['text_register_for_downloads']     = 'Your cart contains downloads, you will need to create an account.';
In catalog/controller/checkout/login.php, after:

Code: Select all

$this->data['guest_checkout'] = ($this->config->get('config_guest_checkout') && !$this->config->get('config_customer_price') && !$this->cart->hasDownload());
..add:

Code: Select all

    
if($this->cart->hasDownload()) $this->data['register_for_downloads'] = $this->language->get('text_register_for_downloads');
In catalog/view/theme/default/template/checkout/login.tpl, after:

Code: Select all

<p><?php echo $text_checkout; ?></p>
..add:

Code: Select all

<?php if ($register_for_downloads) { ?>
    <p><?php echo $register_for_downloads; ?></p>
<?php } ?>
