Drop Shipping Purchase Orders Module for v1.3.8

Hi,

I just installed the module and am currently testing it. I'm curious how the emails are being handled for orders with ownstock & subcontractor product.

Example, A customer purchases a product X (ownstock) and product Y (subcontractor). Using TY tracker, I add the tracking number for product X and change status to DELIVERED. Then a couple of days AFTER subcontractor enters tracking number on product Y which would change the status to PROCESSING.

The way I see it, the subcontractor has to first ship out their product first before we do from our ownstock to prevent multiple emails otherwise, customer gets 3 emails, one from us when we first ship it, one from the subcon when they ship it and one from us again saying the order has completed. Or is the last email going out automatic upon completion of the whole order?

just installed V3.12 of this mod (NICE!!!!!!!!!) but have no CUSTOMER-> SEND POs menu item. Have "PO's Send for Unknown customer" and "POs - Enter tracking #s" but not the other?

Also - did we ever get to "automatic PO emails" in the free version. Will defintely purchase at some stage but need to do lots more testing

Thanks in Advance

Man I am at wits end... Send PO's is not showing up in configuration
Tried the upgrade SQL and everything...

I need somehow to edit the data in PO_FROM_EMAIL_NAME

Looked in phpmyadmin but dont see where it is...

milobloom -- Something obviously went wrong when you installed the SQL patch. I would drop all the tables it installed and then re-install the SQL patch. However, if you don't know much about this, save yourself the trouble and hire someone who knows more. You could easily bork your whole store, and the small amount of money it will cost to get this installed is well worth it! Check out one of the websites where you can hire a coder to install this for you -- it will make your life a lot easier!

decostyle -- Not sure whether its in the free version or not, but you should check your admin config options. At some point I added the ability for you to choose which order status is used for each step of the process. The default should be Pending - > Processing when you send the order to subcontractor. Then from Processing -> Shipped when EVERY item in the order ships. If half the order ships, it shouldn't change the order status. Only once the entire order ships does it changed from Processing to Shipped. As for emails, the customer will get one email whenever anything ships. Thats it. So if an order gets split up between three subcontractors, the customer will get one email when each subcontractor ships. When the order is complete, there is no extra email sent in addition to the shipping email. However, the text of the last email will be slightly different so that you can let them know there order is complete. The email text for partial ship and full ship can be edited in Admin->Config.

stux - You are missing a file in the admin area. Perhaps you copied it to the wrong directory. I forget which one it is, but if you go through every file and check to see that it is in the right spot you will find your problem.

milobloom - Its in the configuration table. Again, do yourself a favor and hire someone to clean up this mess -- its not worth the headache! The other option is to restore your backup (you did backup right?) and then try installing it again. Read the instructions carefully if you do!

Please! Can anyone tell me how to reverse the order of the drop shiplist so the newest comes first.. Using v3 on the download section!

This is driving me nuts!

I re-ran the sql but took out the defines.. That worked out good for me...

srturner47 - Thanks for your reply. After much checking and grinding of teeth I eventually worked out that the line in "send_po_customers_dhtml" in "extra_boxes" was commented out. I un commented it and hey presto. Realised it was a menu preblem as all admin files present and if I manually navigated to admin/send_pos.php it worked

Think I'm good now! - testing to follow

People, I have a problem and I need your help. The problem is that PO subcontractor does not get email about the order. The email system itself and everything else is working:
- No email errors are thrown(is checked in object/variable level)
- Customer and store owner get the appropriate emails. So the email function and mail server is working correctly.
- The mod is installed correctly(without tracking).
- Other functions of the mod seem to be working correctly. No errors, etc.

More information:
- Zen Cart v.1.3.8
- Purchase Orders 5

I tried everything! I even checked email parameters and the $mail object and they seem to be correct. Please help to fix the problem!

UPDATE: Just tried and I get the following errors in admin when trying to send POs manually:


Warning: Division by zero in /mounted-storage/home66c/sub008/sc39995-KWDQ/www/projects/wpr/herbanpharmer.com/store/administrator/pdfpack.php on line 77

and then:

ERROR: Failed sending email to: "[my email. removed]" with subject: "[my subject. removed]" Could not instantiate mail function. Please check Admin->Configuration->Email Options->Email Transport.

But I am sure that it's not fault of the Email Transport. As I already mentioned in my previous post all other emails from ZenCart are working. It happens for this module only.
