Hi,

That's a really really good plugin, thanks a lot for sharing...

Is there any way I can export with ';' instead of ',' ? Without breaking the layout ? as i changed the line $FIELDSEPARATOR = ','; to $FIELDSEPARATOR = ';'; and it didn't really work...
Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
meth0d

You are correct in making the change in the location you indicated. Using a semicolon however might interfere with the coding. What happens when you enter the semicolon? What type of error / problem arises?

Is there a way a to get State names as 2 letters and not the full name?

Hi Eric,

I seem to be having the same problem I had last year. The export worked great all year. But as soon as year end hit and the orders spanned the end of the year, the export gives me an empty file.

I've been using exactly the same settings as always because I have them hard-coded.

The first time I tried it, I did not put a date range. It showed me about 20 orders on the screen, but the file was empty.

Then I put in a date range which should have covered those same 20 records. Again I got a blank file.

I'm using version 1.3.2.

Thanks, Susie

Hi, has anyone installed this with v1.5? I have done but cannot get the page to show. ie from within admin, go to Tools> Export Shipping/Order Information. this does not exist after installing it. I can however get to the page by changing the web browser url to ....../adminxxxx/shipping_export.php

I would like to be able to get to it via the tools tab if this is possible. I assume the page just needs registering through admin page eegistration but have little idea of what info is required in the boxes

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

This was in one of the versions but it ended up throwing off the entire file for some reason. I took it out and thought about adding it at a later date.

A few questions for you:

1) What did we determine was the issue and what corrected it for you last time?

2) About how many records do you think it is trying to export? Could your server be timing out due to the php time (processing setting) for scripts? If you you'll want to increase the memory limit in your php setting.

3) Does it work with shorter date ranges? If so, it might have something to do with #2 above.

4) Is there an order in there (from earlier in the year when it may have been a problem originally) that could be causing the entire file to end up blank?

Let me know some of this info and we'll see what we can come up with to correct it.

Well, the mysterious problem has mysteriously vanished. I set download_ship to no and tried again. Worked fine. Weird.

The last time you had me download a more recent version.

So...who knows? In answer to your question, there were only about 50 records, so I don't think it was a timing out issue.

what do i make the tax exported just be same as it shows in admin invoice?

I know this is a really old post, but was a resolution for this ever found? I am having the same issue. When using the quantity discounts module, the figures are incorrect.

Also, a request.. When you don't select a payment method in the dropdown, would it be possible to display the payment method on the report? My client needs to be able to sort by the payment method and it would be great not having to export each payment method group separately to know which is which.
