Dymo Label Printer

**u761877** · 24 Apr 2008, 01:31 PM

Hello

I have installed the software and updated the files, The directories are correct in the dymo_ie.js.php.

But I am still getting the "label not found", with the standard install from the CD supplied there does not seem to be an address file called

Address (30252 , 30320, 30572).LWL only

Address (99010).LWL

Please can you advise

Mike

I think I have sorted the problem

I changed the PHP file to point to the address (99010).LWL and it works

Thanks

Mike

Great. I'm going to update the help to talk about this at some point.

Hi mr. Scott Wilson,

I (and assuredly many many others) really appreciate all the information and modules you have contributed on Zen Cart, very helpful indeed!

I was trying to get your Dymo module to work, unfortunately the dymo.xpi does not seem to be compatible with FF 3.x. Any chance you will be upgrading the mod ?

Thanks a bunch!

It's on my list of things to do.

Okay... just to let you know... I got it working in FF 3.x

Edit invoice.php, go to line 48 (<head>) and add the following code on the next blank line:

HTML Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/JavaScript"><!--
function PrintBtnClicked(addr)
{
	try
	{
		DymoAddIn = new nsDymoAddIn();
		DymoLabels = new nsDymoLabels();
		if (DymoAddIn.Open('D:\\Mick\\MyDocuments\\ZandAmsterdam\\Dymo\\ZandAmsterdamEtiket.LWL'))
        	{
	        	DymoLabels.SetAddress(1, addr);
		        DymoAddIn.Print(1, true);
	        }
       	else
	        alert('Error: Label file Not Found!');
	}
	catch (err)
	{
		alert(err);
		return;
	}
}
//-->
</script>

Now comment out the 2 lines of code specifying the dymo javascript, like such:

HTML Code:

// <script src="file:///d:/Mick/MyDocuments/ZandAmsterdam/Zen Cart/Mods/dymo_label_printer_1-1/dymo_1.1/dymo_ff.js">
// </script>

The only thing you need to do now is specify the correct local LWL file in the java script function PrintButtonClicked.

HTML Code:

if (DymoAddIn.Open('C:\\Username\\MyDocuments\\Customer\\Dymo\\CustomerSpecificDymoTemplate.LWL'))

Done! To my amazement it worked in one go

So no more fiddling needed with the firefox configuration in order to permit local includes. Which doesn't work anyway in FF3.

Cheers!

If noticed there is a possibility of a bug:

PrintBtnClicked('Diana 't Hart \nBeersel..., 2631 CS\n?Noord-Holland, Netherlands')

Javascript will stop on the second quote (after Diana). I'm not very good with PHP (yet) but I found a function to escape only certain characters. So I tried this:

PHP Code:


$label_addr = addcslashes($label_addr, '\107..\110');

\107 being the oct representation of a single quote.

But unfortunately that doesn't quite do the trick since it also escapes the newlines. Any help on this?

Thanks!

Thanks for posting your findings. I'll update the documentation and the code next month, and I'll take a look at your bug at that time.

omg. this is exactly what I'm looking for.

We use the dymo label printer to print our event tickets. I will see if I can get this to work for this...we just need name, item ordered and attributes ordered printed.
