Super Orders v3.0 Support Thread (for ZC v1.3.9)

So, i made a few changes to super_invoice.php and now all non empty comments (including admin comments) are included in the invoice. The code is as follows:

// Find any comments entered at checkout
// and display on invoice if they exist
$orders_history = $db->Execute("SELECT orders_status_id, date_added, customer_notified, comments
FROM " . TABLE_ORDERS_STATUS_HISTORY . "
WHERE orders_id = '" . $oID . "'
ORDER BY date_added");

while (!$orders_history ->EOF) {
// check if note is empty, if yes, then skip it
if ($orders_history->fields['comments'] != '') {
$display_notes[] = $orders_history->fields['comments'];
}
$orders_history->MoveNext();
}


In particular the while loop is included to find all non empty comments.

and then at the bottom these are displayed:

<?php if (count($display_notes)>0) {?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo zen_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '1', '5'); ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="main" colspan="2"><strong><?php echo HEADER_CUSTOMER_NOTES; ?></strong></td>
</tr>
<?php for($i=0; $i<count($display_notes);$i++) { ?>
<tr>
<td class="main" colspan="2"><?php echo $display_notes[$i]; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
</table>

The code so that Super Orders automatically creates a Super Order payment record for PayPal paid orders is already done.. The to do list you refer to lists the items that as of today remain outstanding.. I only explicitly listed the items that are not done yet..

As for a timeframe.. I have been dealing with a personal health issue and so I work on this when time and health permit.. Best I can say at this point is I hope to be done and have this submitted by the eny of this year..

I saw your list for next release "Things to do" and don't see it there so I was wondering... :unsure:

If there's anything I can help with from that list is on any language translation to Spanish, so let me know if I can give a hand on that.

I had installed Edit Orders module which seemed to be working just fine and then I installed Super Orders and I got this message after submitting the SQL query for Super Orders.

1054 Unknown column 'date_cancelled' in 'field list'
in:
[SELECT date_cancelled, date_completed FROM orders WHERE orders_id = 2 AND (date_cancelled IS NOT NULL OR date_completed IS NOT NULL)]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

And when I go into the Customer's Order or Super Orders the order details are gone.

Hi All!

I installed super orders v3 and then installed edit orders v3.03. All seems to work okay but when you click on the edit order button it comes up with the following error message:

The requested URL /admin/FILENAME_EDIT_ORDERS.php was not found on this server.

I can confirm that the file is in place but will not display.

Please help!

Can anyone help get this working with reward points like edit orders does?

Ardgouge, your post looks confusing:

1. 'admin' shouldn't be used as a directory name to your admin area
2. FILENAME_EDIT_ORDERS is a macro, not the actual filename

actually on my system:

Code:

---

  define('FILENAME_ORDER_EDIT', 'edit_orders.php');

---

the macro FILENAME_ORDER_EDIT is defined in ADMIN/includes/extra_configures/edit_orders.php, to point to the actual file in the ADMIN folder.

So I can't say that I see anything wrong, but perhaps there's some confusion on how this is set up? I'm assuming you went through the instructions in SO3 on the installation for edit orders...

Thanks for the reply, I actually hadn't copied the file into the extra_config folder - have done now and suprise suprise, it works!

Well, I thought it was working...

I can now click on the edit order button and the edit screen appears. However, if I edit the order then click either of the update buttons I get the message again (FILENAME_ORDER_EDIT.php was not found on this server.)

Do you think I should take the hit and just reinstall the add ons (super orders and edit order) again?

Just got everything installed and functioning nicely. I noticed there is a vital piece missing to the super order list page, I don't see the customer comments column as I have on my regular orders page with 1.3.9h installed. I've searched this thread and I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this. Any ideas?

Try re-uploading all files again. Sometimes one or more of them can get corrupted on upload.

Do you mind posting what went wrong and how you solved it so that anyone experiencing this issue in the future will be able to benefit from your experience?

I have a problem with line breaks when sending batch status updates. I get extra <br> tags inserted into my DB and they read with big spaces on my order details page. The problem does not occur on the customers side in their email that's sent from the store, that email looks fine.

I'm pretty sure the problem lies in this line:

PHP Code:

---

$comments = zen_db_scrub_in($_POST['comments'], false); 


---

I've tried setting this to "true" but then the email sent has no line breaks at all. It does look fine on the order details page though!

Surely someone else has had this problem?

I never found the answer to this anywhere in this thread, was somebody able to sort the problem out?

Zen Cart Version 1.3.9h

Super Orders -> split order

The resulting orders show total as $0.00, therefore any payment applied shows as a negative (overpayment) This shows on both the parent and the child.

Caveat - These orders are placed as "cash on delivery" and I split the order before any payment was applied.

Zen Cart Version 1.3.9h

In super_data_sheet.php V3.0, since I am not using TY TRACKER, I was getting errors, so I made these changes:

<?php // TY TRACKER 2 BEGIN, INCLUDE DATABASE FIELDS ------------------------------
// line below added by coopco to remove TY Tracker
if (TY_TRACKER == 'True') {

and at the end of the TY TRACKER section:

// END TY TRACKER 3 -------------------------------------------------------------------
echo ' <td class="smallText" align="left" valign="top">' . nl2br(zen_db_scrub_out($orders_history->fields['comments'])) . '&nbsp;</td>' . "\n" .
' </tr>' . "\n";
$orders_history->MoveNext();
}
} else {
echo ' <tr>' . "\n" .
' <td class="smallText" colspan="5">' . TEXT_NO_ORDER_HISTORY . '</td>' . "\n" .
' </tr>' . "\n";
} // added by coopco to remove TY Tracker

}

I am sure this has been discussed already... if so could someone please point me to the solution.

But is there any way to add back the feature to edit comments visible by the customer? Or is there a way to unhide admin comments so they become visible to the customer?

thanks!

Hello Zenners,

Does this mod work with the admin login as a customer 2.2 mod? I've currently installed that mod and would like to install this mod but I'm concerned they might not work together.

thanks!

NWFAP

These two mods (SO3.0 and admin_login_as_customer 2.2) don't share any files, nor does the functionality of one have anything to do with the functionality of the other. I use them both and find they play quite nicely together :smile:

I didn't post the fix I only indicated that the fix is to be a part of the next release.. I'm still working on the next SO release, but I'm afraid personal health issues have taken a priority over this. I am hoping to not only have it done by year end (or 1st part of Jan), but to include v1.5 updates as well..

Admin (hidden) comments is standard Zen Cart behavior.. Can't "unhide" them in default orders.php and super_orders.php is no different. There are no plans to include functionality which would allow shopowners the ability to "unhide" comments that were previously hidden. Seems the better approach for shopowners is to simply not make comments hidden comments to begin with.

I am lost here. Sorry to post this way. Please, can someone tell where the POST NEW THREAD button is? Spent one hour looking, not feeling very Zen right now.

We have used zen cart for over a year, now this happened...

Here is my problem:

in subject of email;
PayPal Express Checkout Error

in body of email;
- (7) couldn't connect to host

This has shown up with ALL our Zen Carts.

PayPal states, no errors
Host states, no errors
We tested, no errors
We still get about 10 of these alerts a day.
Customers call and say they can't check out with PayPal Express.

Something is wrong here.

What is this?
PayPal Express Checkout Error
- (7) couldn't connect to host

thank you for any help

:o)

ps: hope I can find this after I post

You're in the wrong place. Go to the PayPal Express Checkout Support board. Once there, look through the list of threads to see if there's already a thread for your problem. If there is, read through it to see if there's a solution. If there isn't...then post a reply.

Only if there is no thread on that board that addresses your problem...you may then start a new thread on that board. Do it by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking "New Thread".

Just installed Super Orders 3.0 and its working great, but it does not appear to have the Customer Comments Column that the normal orders screen does. Can someone help me patch that in, as I rely on seeing that yellow dot to tell me to pay attention to what the customer wants, not just pack the order and ship it. Thanks!

Just a quick question regarding this mod - if a customer pays via Paypal, and we do a partial or full refund in super orders, does it automatically refund them via Paypal? Or do we then also have to login to Paypal to issue the refund manually?

Thanks!

I think Super order does NOT handle any payment or refund. You will need to do the partial refund in your regular zen-cart edit order.

You can initiate the PayPal refund via Super Orders. You do not have to do this via the default orders.php anymore.. (it was HUGE change we made in the latest version).

Hello and Happy New Years...

I have quickly read through this thread and even did a search through this thread and could not find the answer to my question.

I had someone register without an address...placed an order...and it showed no address...later the buyer when back and updated their address...this does not show up on Super Orders but does under Customers.

Any clue why?

Thank you

Because the address information associated with the customer at the time the order is placed is what gets written to the order table. Not a Super Orders issue as this is how the default orders.php functions as well.. You can either edit the order table using myPHPAdmin to fix it or install Edit Orders which will allow you to edit these kinds of order details..

I just downloaded the file but the links in the readme file are not working, therefore I can't view the instructions for installing. Help?

This question belongs in the Edit_Orders support thread.

Things to check:

• Are you running Zen Cart v.1.3.9?
• If so, did you download Edit_Orders v.3.03 for Zen Cart v1.3.9?
• Did you unzip the download before launching the readme so that the .js file that makes the readme tabs work can run on your computer?
• Do you have javascript enabled in your browser?
• Did you give your browser a minute to fully load the readme so that the tabs will work? (very occasionally, my browser will lag on load and then it takes a moment for the tabs to be accessible)

After you check these things...if you still have issues, please post to the Edit_Orders support thread. Although to be honest...the issue is likely with your computer or browser settings and/or is user error...as this file operates fine for countless other users.

**ScriptJunkie covered this.. LOL.. Carry on.. **

Update 3.0.1 to Super Orders is now available. The following fixes were made:

Adding a comment to an order with an apostrophe causes SQL failure - fixed
Not installing Ty Tracker means Super Orders Print will fail - fixed
Display all comments in Invoice
Display all comments in Packing Slip

Okay i not trying to be pushy here at all.. just curious..
Super orders is an great thing for my friends site that i set up/keep operational.
I just upgraded it to zen 1.5.0 this week..

I was lucky enough to somehow have super orders 3.? continue to work with out doing anything... but have lost the config options..

Is there anyone working on an update that covers zencart v1.5 that I can donate to?

Keep up the great work. its an awesome add on.:clap:

Being worked on, and there is NO ETA on when I will be ready to submit a v1.5 compatible version to the downloads section... Free work has to be done between paid work and my day job..:blush:

So that said all I can say is that I am working as fast as my paying work allows time for.. :smile:

Payment data for paypal transactions no longer showing up in super orders, any ideas?

For all transactions where paypal is the payment method I am getting

No Order Payment Data Available

This happened suddenly, and I can't remember making any changes that would have caused this, all prior paypal orders are fine, but once it stopped working, no new paypal orders are causing payment details to be entered.

Actually I'm wrong, only some are shown in superorders

Payment data for paypal transactions doesn't always show up in super orders, any ideas?

after installing this mod in print invoices in batch screen, when ever i hit the search button it redirects to login page .please help me out

@DigitalShadow - I believe the current mechanism is: when you view an order in super_orders.php, it'll create the paypal entry. The paypal entries aren't automatically generated so if you look at a paypal report without first looking at the order, the entry will not have been generated.

@Sandy86 - Guessing, but could this be due to a corrupt file? Extra file (.bak) in your extra_functions directory? If you back out the change, does the problem go away?

So as long as the config is OK before the upgrade, it is good to go on 1.5?

I have a couple of clients who want to move to 1.5 but are definite that they don't want to lose Super Orders. So it is a bit of a lottery, especially as Divavocals isn't in a position to give any sort of timescale estimate. Days? Weeks? Months? Year? Who can tell?

If you've got a workable setup through upgrading, that would probably be good enough for the interim.

Working on a v1.5 updgrade/bugfix release. DO NOT ASK ME for an ETA on the release date. I think that I finally have the bandwidth to work on this with some regularity now.. Please understand that I do this work in MY spare time and I prioritize free mod work based on my workload/availability from paid work. In other words, I am working on it, but paying work will ALWAYS take priority over free mods work.

That said I am feeling good that I will have something soon.. :blush:

So here's where we last left our heroine:laugh::

1. Language Support for Super Payment Types
   Needs to support payment types for all languages used in the shop. Because of the way credit card auto payments work in Super Orders, the payment type code for American Express, Visa, Matercard, Diners Club, Discover, Maestro, SOLO, and JCB must be identical for all languages.
   (See admin/includes/classes/super_order.php starting at line 275)
2. Update comments using “Batch Status Update” not working correctly.
   Comments in “Batch Status Update” 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 batch hidden order comments.
   
   Currently does not create the correct comment type. Hidden comments and no e-mail comments are not e-mailed to the customer, but they are stored and displayed in the store as if they are e-mail comments.
3. PDF Packing Slip incorrectly displays the “Balance Due” Amount
4. PDF Packing Slip needs to support wrapping display long attributes names
   Word wrapping works for product names and models, but not attributes.
5. PDF Packing Slip does not print all order comments
   Seems to only print the 1st comment. Should print comments the same way comments print on the regular invoice.
6. PDF Packing Slip - Symbols are displayed incorrectly.
   Most notably currency symbols, copyright and trademark symbols, etc..

---

In addition to the changes noted above, and making the app v1.5 compatible, the following bugfixes and improvements that I have been trying for over a year to finish and release will be included. (Some of these fixes were probably already addressed in Scott's recent SO update, but I will note them here anyway..)

1. Full integration of Super Orders functionality into the into Zen Cart core. Eliminate once and for all the separate Super Orders versions of the core "cousin files". Replace super_orders.php, super_invoice.php, super_packingslip.php with Super Order enhanced versions of orders.php, invoice.php, & packingslip.php.
   
   This change is huge and I am sure there will be those who disagree with it. So let me explain the reason for moving in this direction.
   
   I appreciate the original author's desire to not modify core files, but over time this put the Super Orders files out of step with it's core "cousin files". There many other mods which do indeed modify core admin files, and we don't feel there's any further need for Super Order to not follow suit. (caveat, with GOOD documentation and adequately marked code to make it CLEAR where core edits begin.)
   
   In the version 3.0 release we worked hard to bring the Super Orders "cousin files" back in alignment with the core files they are meant to replace. This brought back much of the default order management functionality missing from Super Orders back into the mod (processing PayPal refund from the order window for example).
   
   However, this still leaves us with somewhat nightmarish upgrade issues when Zen Cart is upgraded. (for this discussion assume I am NOT referring to the 2.0 flavor of Zen Cart) In order to have a reasonable assurance that core changes to Zen Cart order files are included in Super Orders, we decided to incorporate Super Orders functionality directly into the core order files. This should make future Zen Cart core updates easier to integrate into Super Orders.

   In batch_status_update, I cleared the 'notify customer' checkbox, then clicked 'Check All' and 'update status'. Unfortunately, when I clicked 'Check All', it reset my prior settings so I ended up sending a bunch of emails to people with a default status.
   
   I *was* able to use query builder to help me send apologies to the affected people though
   
   Suggestion 1: Don't reset the 'notify customer' box, or make the default 'unchecked'. I did this by changing line 311 in super_batch_status.php:
   
   

   Code:

   ---

   echo zen_draw_checkbox_field('notify', 'on', false); echo ' ' . ENTRY_NOTIFY_CUSTOMER

   ---

   I'll probably go through and do this in other places too.
   
   Suggestion 2: Offer a confirmation box when sending more than N emails.

   ---

4. Batch Form Printing. When shopowners print multiple invoices they are presented with a new window with all the selected invoices in separate frames. Printing frames is only supported by IE and Firefox (the 2 most commonly used browsers when SO was initially released). This code still works, but is showing signs of it's age. (the 80s called.. :laugh:) Frame printing is not supported in Chrome, Safari, or Opera. Therefore, this function is to be modified so that batch invoices no longer render in frames and the selected invoice prints on its own page. Align batch invoices and packingslips so that they look/act like the single printed versions.

   Correct PDF packing slip to intepret and output currency and other symbols correctly. (trademarks, currency symbols, copyright, etc)
7. Eliminate the need for the common_orders_functions.php file. Edit Orders and Super Orders should have their own functions files.

   Credit Card Auto Payment Generation Tweak:
   
   I decided to update the class file that auto generates Super Orders payments for credit card paid orders based on Blindside's post here:
   
   http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=207. (just the part of this code which relates to credit payments.. PayPal auto payments are handled differently)
   
   I liked the fact that it no longer hardcodes the credit card codes, and instead relies on the data in the Super Orders payments types table. IF a NEW credit card type is supported by Zen Cart, the only thing Super Orders users need to do is to create a corresponding Super Orders payment type (the Super Orders payment code must match the corresponding credit card as it does now for supported credit cards).. This is loads easier for all I think!!
   
   This will help keep people -- particularly newbies -- "out of the code" just to update the module.. Having to edit module files is often where things go wrong for newbies..
   
   Just so it's clear -- Auto payment generation for credit cards is slightly different than the new PayPal auto payment generation.
   
   Auto payment generation for credit cards happens at the time of checkout. While PayPal auto payments are generated when the order is accessed from the Super Orders management screen.
   
   The reason for this difference has everything to do with the general assumption that credit card payments are collected at the time of the sale, while PayPal payments may not be confirmed until 24-28 hours after the order is completed.

9. Update comments using “Batch Status Update” not working correctly.
   
   Comments in “Batch Status Update” 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 batch hidden order comments.
   
   Currently does not create the correct comment type. Hidden comments and no e-mail comments are not e-mailed to the customer, but they are stored and displayed in the store as if they are e-mail comments.
10. PDF Packing Slip needs to support wrapping display long attributes names
    
    Word wrapping works for product names and models, but not attributes.
11. PDF Packing Slip does not print all order comments
    
    Seems to only print the 1st comment. Should print comments the same way comments print on the regular invoice.
12. PDF Packing Slip incorrectly displays the “Balance Due” Amount

So tell me heroine... is the module upgrade will be only compatible with ZCv1.5? or is it going to be compatible with both versions?

If so, is SO going to be as is for 1.3.9 without any updates or is it going to have an ultimate/final upgrade before left behind? :lookaroun

Short answer is no.. Even if you bullied in the admin menu changes, it is likely that Zen Cart v1.5 will shut down most if not all of SO's functions as SO's codebase does not meet the new v1.5 standards..

And if this become critical, you can always consider hiring a developer to make the updates for you on behalf of your clients.. I'm sorry if this is frustrating for folks, but I'm just not going to give any time estimate because as I've stated, PAID work comes before FREE mod development. And family and personal health issues ALSO are prioritized above free mod development.. (hence the one year delay on the promised Super Order updates to begin with) I would love to give time estimates and say with certainty that we're gonna make those dates, but my paying clients will always come first, and sometimes that prevents me from making promised dates.. So now I choose NOT to provide them..

So all I can say at the moment is that RIGHT NOW, I have some bandwidth to squeeze this in, and I started working on this again.. However, if that changes, you can bet your bottom dollar that the free work gets dropped like a stone.. and if you asked other developers of free mods, they would say the same..

Not true at all.. Zen Cart v1.5 is very different and enforces some stricter standards than previous versions of Zen Cart. The changes are forcing some MUCH NEEDED changes to Super Orders.. My recommendation is that NO ONE using Zen Cart v1.5 attempt to use Super Orders 3.0 and wait for the v1.5 version. If you insist on doing otherwise, I will respectfully ask you to start a new thread and take those discussions there.

IF and only IF after the enhancements and bugfixes are in place and tested in v1.5 will I take a look to see if v1.3.9 can be supported too.. But honestly it's been a struggle to find time to work on this as is.. So if trying to make Super Orders BOTH v1.3.9 and v1.5 compatible is going to take up too much time, then sadly I will have to leave 1.3.9 behind.. :smile:

I have a few fixes to Super Orders that I will submit shortly:

- Batch Print and Batch Status update will permit either starting or ending order number (in addition to handling both).
- Batch Print and Batch Status update screens narrowed so they fit into a the admin window instead of requiring a scroll right.

Scott are your changes obvious enough for me to easily see them and merge in with the the v1.5 changes I am working on???

Two blocks of identical code in super_batch_forms.php and super_batch_status.php

Cool.. Thanks..

I am getting occasional "out of memory" errors during Super Batch Print with Super Orders 3.0/Zen Cart 1.3.9 on a cart with an orders table of around 20K entries. I have seen a handful of other reports of this issue on the forum. I'm considering archiving some old orders to reduce the size of this table (and the associated tables). Is anyone else grappling with this issue?

Hi, could you tell me when it will be support for Zen 1.5

Thank you :smartalec:

You will see a scroll bar at the bottom if the window is narrower than 1070 pixels (at least at the resolution I am running at).

Ahhhhhh.. Got it.. and this might be why I never noticed since even my laptop is set to a high screen size.. Funny none of my clients ever said anything either.. :D **SMH**

Thanks for the explanation.. :smile:

I was quite happy to read this:

Full integration of Super Orders functionality into the into Zen Cart core. Eliminate once and for all the separate Super Orders versions of the core "cousin files". Replace super_orders.php, super_invoice.php, super_packingslip.php with Super Order enhanced versions of orders.php, invoice.php, & packingslip.php.

Thanks Scott..

It's the direction I took the Ty Package Tracker in and I'm kicking myself that I didn't do the same with the Super Orders v3.0 launch as well.:unsure:

I think I was still trying to "stay true" to the original Super Orders, but ultimately I have realized that keeping these "separate and KINDA equal" filesets makes keeping up with Zen Cart updates a real nightmare.. This point was driven home as I started trying to get SO v1.5 compliant. (it was -- to put it not so delicately -- a clusterf***)

I think that this change also makes other mods which modify orders.php easier to use with Super Orders.. There were mod authors who tried to keep Super Orders versions of their mods in parallel, but ultimately they too seem to have gotten tired of maintaining the parallel filesets.

Anyway, this will be a good move forward, and your endorsement confirms my thought on moving in this direction.. :smile:

As we learned in Brown v. Board of Education, separate but equal is wrong. :smile:

And no kicking yourself. The decision was fine for 1.3.9, and it allowed you to release in a timely manner.

Funny the gentleman who worked on SO v3.0 with me would disagree on this point..:laugh: I postponed the initial release date because I wanted it to go out right the first time (or as close to right the first time as it could get.. :laugh:). He was not pleased with this decision :laugh:..

thank you for making such a great mod...

i have run into a problem...searched this forum...read through a lot of it but no answer...

here's my question...when i print an invoice or packing slip in super orders...the admin url prints on the bottom...how can i avoid this?

This is a function of your browser that is unrelated to zen cart's or SO3's functionality. Adjusting your browser's printer settings is a basic zen cart security measure that should be taken upon install per this zc tutorial. Have a look at the tut...I believe you'll find the help you're looking for there.

Good luck and happy zenning :smile:

One last thing..

I will be removing the integration code for USPS Click and Ship (AKA USPS Autofill) and FedEx Shipping Label add-ons.. My research indicates that at the moment neither has been updated for Zen Cart 1.5. It doesn't look likely that the will be upgraded for v1.5 compatibility anytime soon either. Therefore I will be removing the EZ integration code for both. EZ integration with Ty Package Tracker and Edit Orders will remain in place as there are v1.5 compatible releases planned for both of these mods.

In other words, I am working on it, but paying work will ALWAYS take priority over free mods work.

That said I am feeling good that I will have something soon.. :blush:

So here's where we last left our heroine:laugh::

In addition to the changes noted above, and making the app v1.5 compatible, the following bugfixes and improvements that I have been trying for over a year to finish and release will be included. (Some of these fixes were probably already addressed in Scott's recent SO update, but I will note them here anyway..)

1. Full integration of Super Orders functionality into the into Zen Cart core. Eliminate once and for all the separate Super Orders versions of the core "cousin files". Replace super_orders.php, super_invoice.php, super_packingslip.php with Super Order enhanced versions of orders.php, invoice.php, & packingslip.php.
   
   This change is huge and I am sure there will be those who disagree with it. So let me explain the reason for moving in this direction.
   
   I appreciate the original author's desire to not modify core files, but over time this put the Super Orders files out of step with it's core "cousin files". There many other mods which do indeed modify core admin files, and we don't feel there's any further need for Super Order to not follow suit. (caveat, with GOOD documentation and adequately marked code to make it CLEAR where core edits begin.)
   
   In the version 3.0 release we worked hard to bring the Super Orders "cousin files" back in alignment with the core files they are meant to replace. This brought back much of the default order management functionality missing from Super Orders back into the mod (processing PayPal refund from the order window for example).
   
   However, this still leaves us with somewhat nightmarish upgrade issues when Zen Cart is upgraded. (for this discussion assume I am NOT referring to the 2.0 flavor of Zen Cart) In order to have a reasonable assurance that core changes to Zen Cart order files are included in Super Orders, we decided to incorporate Super Orders functionality directly into the core order files. This should make future Zen Cart core updates easier to integrate into Super Orders.
2. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=275
3. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=279
4. Batch Form Printing. When shopowners print multiple invoices they are presented with a new window with all the selected invoices in separate frames. Printing frames is only supported by IE and Firefox (the 2 most commonly used browsers when SO was initially released). This code still works, but is showing signs of it's age. (the 80s called.. :laugh:) Frame printing is not supported in Chrome, Safari, or Opera. Therefore, this function is to be modified so that batch invoices no longer render in frames and the selected invoice prints on its own page. Align batch invoices and packingslips so that they look/act like the single printed versions.

   http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=977666&postcount=55
   
   Fix super_data_sheet.php lines around lines 225 where TY Tracker is spliced in.
6. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=489
   
   Correct PDF packing slip to intepret and output currency and other symbols correctly. (trademarks, currency symbols, copyright, etc)
7. Eliminate the need for the common_orders_functions.php file. Edit Orders and Super Orders should have their own functions files.
8. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=161
9. Update comments using “Batch Status Update” not working correctly.
   
   Comments in “Batch Status Update” 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 batch hidden order comments.
   
   Currently does not create the correct comment type. Hidden comments and no e-mail comments are not e-mailed to the customer, but they are stored and displayed in the store as if they are e-mail comments.
10. PDF Packing Slip needs to support wrapping display long attributes names
    
    Word wrapping works for product names and models, but not attributes.
11. PDF Packing Slip does not print all order comments
    
    Seems to only print the 1st comment. Should print comments the same way comments print on the regular invoice.
12. PDF Packing Slip incorrectly displays the “Balance Due” Amount

Hi! Attempting to install super orders... using 1.3.9.h. Initially, followed the install guidelines and ftp'd the super_orders_patch.sql in main directory. Attempted the query executor. Got this:
1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'edit_orders_install.sql' at line 1
in:
[edit_orders_install.sql;]

You FTP'd the SQL patch to your store and executed it from there?? (I assume from your site's cPanel???) Where in the install instructions did you find directions to do this??? You should copy and paste the install SQL using the SQL installer in the Zen Cart admin (as the readme instructs you to do)

Are you installing SUPER Orders or EDIT orders?? If this is an EDIT Orders issue, you are in the wrong support thread..

and BTW, the way to install the SQL scripts for BOTH mods is the same..

Hello!

I am trying to install. However, I am not smart enough for it. The last step is

Run the edit_orders_install.sql using the "SQL Query Executor" tool in the Admin (Tools > Install SQL Patches).

However, I never uploaded the edit_orders_install.sql. I uploaded the install and required core files. Where/how do I upload that sql file?

Thanks!

Are you installing SUPER Orders or EDIT orders?? If this is an EDIT Orders issue, you are in the wrong support thread..

I know... sorry. I was referring to the wrong sql filename... I figured it out, though... On the sql query executor, after you upload all the files (and after I changed the YOUR_ADMIN to my admin's name - you pick the RIGHT sql file in the "Upload File" window, click upload - and voila - it works.

THAT"S what' I couldn't figure out to do. I knew I needed the sql file on the site, but never saw it in the directions of HOW to get it there, so I manually uploaded it and tried to use it in the large "Enter the query" field above.. which -obviously - didn't work.

Thanks for your help and pointing me the right way!:smile:

Glad you worked it out, but the readme files does say WHERE to upload this SQL file.. That's part of the reason why the SQL files needed for Super Orders are in a separate location than the rest of the install files.. (so people don't "accidentally" upload this file)

Quote:

Run the edit_orders_install.sql using the "SQL Query Executor" tool in the Admin (Tools > Install SQL Patches).

Are you saying that this instruction wasn't clear?? If this wasn't clear to you do you have a suggestion on how we could make it clearer for the next SO update??

Hello! I am getting that "strcasecmp()" error that nagelkruid got as well. this happens when i try to use batch-update to change orders from pending to processed and use the "check all" button. it works fine when i select individual boxes.

the page hangs, then ends in blank, so i hit back, refresh the page and get the message stack saying the orders were updated (which they were).

any thoughts?

And my answer is the same today as it was over a year ago.. Can't reproduce the error.. :no:

Wow, ok. Just tried again and it went fine this time. I haven't changed anything, so wonder why it worked now...

Perhaps if you DO hit the button enough times something else will happen. ;)

Without knowing how the error happened to begin with it's hard to say. Since I cannot reproduce the error.. well you get the point..:smile:

Hello. Super Orders is finally installed. However, when we do a batch status update we get:

1366 Incorrect integer value: 'on' for column 'customer_notified' at row 1
in:
[INSERT INTO orders_status_history (orders_id, orders_status_id, date_added, customer_notified, comments) VALUES ('22559', '3', now(), 'on', '')]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

I know we could try and get MYSQL out of Strict Mode. But our web server holds the my.ini file so we cant edit. Is there another way around this?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

I fixed the problem regarding the 1366 error.

I went into the mysql database and changed the notify field from INT to VARCHAR

I can now change the batch status from processing to shipped.

Just wanted to post an update.. conversion is going well.. We are testing the latest round of changes.. If anyone wants to test, please PM me.. Please keep in mind I need SERIOUS testers -- not folks looking to get a "sneak preview" of Super Orders.. So if you really want to test Super Orders, we would welcome the additional set of eyes..

HI,

I have just installed the update of Super Orders (3.0.2) available on the free zen cart add ons section. Should this release pick up paypal payments that have been made that are in a status of completed and show the payment details as completed?

For the orders that I already have it is still showing no payment data for each order.

Is there anything I need to do to get the payment details showing?

Also, when I use the Batch printing option to print the PDF Packing slips the currency symbol is still being showed as &pound; on the slip.

Regards,

Brett Rogers

Again I need to stress that if you want to test, you need to be familiar with ALL the features in Super Orders. I need testers who can test ALL of the add-on, not just the features they use..

Also this is not an opportunity to get your hands on a pre-release version.. Until testing is complete NONE of these beta versions being tested should be used on ANY live store..

Hint: Suggest looking up tax exempt in the readme..:smile:

If you are getting an error that looks like:

[16-Mar-2012 08:14:11] PHP Warning: stripslashes() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/p153j5eh/public_html/crosscuisines.org/delivery/xAMykyUwRx6W/super_orders.php on line 173

Change super_orders.php on the line specified (173 in my example, but look at your error log). If you have

Code:

---

$comments = mysql_escape_string(stripslashes($_POST)); ^M

---

change it to

Code:

---

• Open the SO readme file.
• Click on the Files tab
• Scroll down until you find these two sections:
  
  Core Zen Cart Files Modified (Required)
  Core Zen Cart Files Modified (Optional)

These are lists of files that you must replace when you uninstall SO. The exception of course, is any file in YOUR_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE. Unless you've made other changes to files located there (either manually or changed by another addon), then you may simply delete those and not bother to replace them.

Always remember when installing or uninstalling mods to be mindful of files that get overwritten or are shared by varying addons or your own customizations. Such files will need to be carefully merged/unmerged (vs. overwritten/replaced or deleted).

If you didn't back up your original files before installing this (or any other addon for that matter), then you will have to re-download the ZC installation package and copy the files from there....but be aware that any customizations you made to any of those files will be lost.

Thanks was hoping it wasn't going to be like that just wish I saw the post before I installed it. It did look like a good mod but like the post said wouldn't work or look right.

Think of it as good practice for installing/uninstalling future addons. Many of the major/more powerful addons (and even some of the smaller ones) override either template or core zen cart files (and sometimes both!), so this is a process you will need to get familiar with and be prepared for as you go forward with Zen Cart.

And while we're on that topic, if you're not yet familiar with the Zen Cart Override System, suggest you educate yourself on this ASAP and definitely before you install anything else or make any customizations. It will save you a LOT of headaches :smile:

Additional links are:

• The Override System Really Simplified
• Create a Customized Template
• What is Template Default

Since you're using ZC v150, suggest you take a look at (and subscribe to) the support thread which discusses which addons are 150 compatible. Keep in mind that efforts are underway to update this and other powerful addons to bring them to 150 compatibility.

Since it is all volunteer work, there is no ETA on a completion date, so it's best to subscribe to the support threads for each addon you're interested in so you can be notified when updates are available.

Good luck and happy Zenning :smile:

Is there a way to turn off the order notes on the packing list?

Thanks:smile:

I've made an update for SO to update stock when an order is cancelled or re-opened... might be a good inclusion going forward that others can benefit from.

Please let me know if you'd be interested in the code.

What Gerjan said.. It doesn't work because you didn't read the support thread before you installed SO in your Zen Cart v1.5 store..

Sure I'm interested.. please make sure your code is clearly commented/highlighted.. In the v1.5 ready version I'm doing away with the super_orders.php file

I have "edit_orders_v3.03" and not sure if this has come up at all but I was reading through the installation but didn't see anything about integrating with edit orders unless i missed it.
When i process an order payed through Paypal and use their shipping module the customer gets an e-mail from Paypal with the tracking number. I am just wondering if Super orders will pick this transaction up and updates the order or is there a way to manually enter the tracking number and when i hit update the customer is e-mailed with the updated information. I know when setting the order to shipped in edit orders the customer gets an e-mail but i can't put the tracking information in.
Also is the super orders V1.5 ready ?
Also refunds can be issued oin edit orders, will i lose that capability ?
Any thoughts ?
Thank you.
