Edit Orders v3.0 for ZC 1.3.9 [Support Thread]

Sorry folks, but I have been slammed and have had absolutely NO TIME to finish the readme..http://www.zen-cart.com/images/smilies/blush.gif I am working on finishing the readme editing, but it is a SLOW process.. So for now if you want Edit Orders 4.0 for Zen Cart v1.5, it is available on my site. (link in siggy)

As SOON as I finish the readme (hoping for mid August), I will submit it to the downloads, start a new support thread, and Edit Orders will no longer be available for download from my site.

Thanks for your patience..

There are volunteers who are working on addressing these bugs. I have no ETA on how soon they will be able to finish the work at this time.. Hoping that it will be soon. That's the best timeframe I can give anyone about the status of this add-on. It will continue to be the answer I give when asked timeframe questions. (sorry folks..http://www.zen-cart.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)

For those who want details on the outstanding issues here they are:

Edit Orders
Issue: Status change requires comment to be entered
Description: System will not save status without entering a comment. Changing the order status without entering a comment results in an error message being generated, and the updated order status is not saved to the status update table.

Super Orders
Summary: Batch printing invoices/packingslips not page breaking correctly in Internet Explorer, Opera, & Safari
Description: The batch print function of Super Orders is not correctly interpreting the page breaks for invoices, packingslips, and shipping labels. For invoices & packingslips, the page break should happen just above the logo for each page generated. Shipping labels should be printing 4 labels to a page. The page break functionality works correctly in Firefox & Chrome.

===========================================================

Enhancements the new version will offer..

1. Compatibility with Zen Cart v1.5
2. DONE Eliminate the need for the common_orders_functions.php file. Edit Orders and Super Orders should have their own functions files.
3. DONE Update e-mail templates so that they match the orders.php e-mail templates when comments are sent or order status emails are sent to the customer.
4. Comments should work the same way default order comments work. (support for e-mail, no e-mail, or hidden comments). If working properly should allow shop owner to create hidden order comments when editing orders.

So here's what's gonna happen next..

Edit Orders has been posted on my site (link in signature). The install instructions are pretty complete. I still need to vet and update the readme before I submit it to the downloads section here.. As soon as this is submitted and made available in the downloads it will NO LONGER be available on my site..

Now with that out the way here's the BEST part of the new Edit Orders.. two words ya'll...

AUTO INSTALLER!!

No more external SQL files needed to install/upgrade Edit Orders.. Yep that's right.. I managed to get an auto-installer WORKING with Edit Orders!!! (how cool is THAT???!!!) This means whether you are upgrading from a previous Edit Orders install or doing a vanilla Edit Orders install, the auto installer has got you covered.. Uninstall is not automated (the code to make an auto-UN-installer work is above my paygrade.. http://www.zen-cart.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif) So to uninstall you will still need to use an external SQL file (included)..

That said, and I will also say this in the down and dirty install instructions.. DO NOT RUN THE UNINSTALL SQL when upgrading.. Let me repeat..

DO NOT RUN THE UNINSTALL SQL when upgrading!!!!!!

Why?? It's an UNNECESSARY step and may in fact cause issues..

I will post notice HERE once I finish updating the readme and submitting this to the downloads section.. Once Edit Orders is approved, it will no longer be available on my site. I will also be starting a NEW support thread for Edit Orders v4.x. Though the codebase for v4.x is based on previous versions of Edit Orders, since v4.x is only compatible with Zen Cart v1.5. Thus I think this warrants a new support thread.

Sure.. Just an FYI, I found that post by searching the forum for the error message you were getting.. Also I don't know if this fix works.. but it's the only thing I found similar..

It works, thank you very much :hug:

Hello, it seems that creating a new Admin profile, and then logging in with that profile restricts access to editing orders. When I am in Admin/Customers/Orders and click on "edit" from a particular order, I get the "Sorry, your security clearance does not allow you to access this resource" message. Is there a workaround to this? I need to create new profiles to protect clients from themselves, you know, from screwing with important settings (I assume the main reason why Admin Profiles was integrated into ZC 1.5).
I've searched frantically and can't find a thing. Oh yeah- this is my first post. Hello everyone.

Welcome to the Zen Cart forum, @InkVine. From a superuser account (your main admin account), you can go to admin access management-> admin users to figure out the profile of your other account. Then go to admin access management->admin profiles, and edit that profile, and check the box for edit orders.

Hey swguy, thanks for the response. I have done all that. I don't see a check box for edit orders. I even went so far as to creating a new profile with all the check boxes checked (essentially creating a second superuser). Access denied. The only boxes that i have under CUSTOMERS is "Customers, Orders, Group Pricing, Invoice, Packing Slip". Is there supposed to be a check box? I have even uninstalled and then re installed Edit Orders v3.03 (data base files & server files).

Whoops! I think I should point out that two things:
1) I accidentally put v4.0 in the subject of my post. I'm using v3.0.
2) Edit orders works perfectly when logged in as a superuser.
I've got a metting with a client tommorow, so if anyone has a workaround (temporary, even frankenstienish, I can fix it properly later) just so I don't confuse my client.
thank you, thank you!

Read back through this thread.. (alwys a good idea BEFORE install any add-on) v3.0 isn't compatible with v1.5..

Heh. didn't see that. I'm usually pretty good at that. Well, I did install the version 4.0.2 from your site, thanks for all the hard work, I WILL donate after this project is finished (it's only fair). Unfortunately, nothing has changed, except that comment bug (so at least that means version 4 was installed correctly). So still no access to editing an order with any other profile other than a superuser. Any thoughts?
