2. Can I make it so no comments show up on the packing slips?

Adding to my previous post....

I don't know the specific answers to your questions, so all I can do is tell you what I would do if I wanted to make the changes you're wanting to make. Since I don't know how much you know or don't know, I have no way of knowing how much detail you need, so the above post was fairly general.

Here's specifically what I would do after making backups:

1. I already have the Firefox browser and the Firebug addon installed on my computer...so if you don't have those tools - get them. They are invaluable for this and many other similar tasks.

2. Using my FF browser, I would log in to my admin and launch an invoice and a packing slip for an order.

3. I would browse the packing slip with Firebug "on" to identify and isolate the code (which is probably a table) that determines where on the page the "Bill to" and "Ship to" info appears. This way, I would easily be able to find that same code in the admin/super_packingslip.php file.

4. I would repeat the same step with the admin/super_invoice.php file for the same reason.

5. I would then use a text editor like Notepad++ (or plain old Notepad, but ++ is easier to use) to open both admin/super_invoice.php and admin/super_packingslip.php.

6. Looking at them in Notepad++, I would use admin/super_invoice.php to guide me as to how to move the "Bill to" and "Ship to" table data around in admin/super_packingslip.php in such a way as to mimic the layout in admin/super_invoice.php

7. I would then use Notepad++ to make the necessary changes.

8. As I go about making changes, I would refresh the web page displaying the packing slip to see if my changes are happening as anticipated, and use Firebug to help me identify where/how I went wrong if things didn't work out as I had anticipated.

9. To remove the comments from the packing slip, I would do the same thing...use Firebug to isolate the code that displays the comments on the packing slip, then use a text editor to open and edit admin/super_packingslip.php by commenting out or removing that code and then refreshing my packing slip page to see if it worked as anticipated.

Sooooo....that's what I would do. And if that didn't work, I'd be looking for some help.

Hope this helps you - good luck and happy Zenning :smile:

[FONT=Tahoma]Like other open source projects, this support forum is manned by VOLUNTEERS (ie: unpaid folks). They give of their time here when their individual schedules permit. Usually the response is pretty quick 'round these parts, but when it’s not or your question has gone unanswered this may mean one of a few things:
[/FONT]

• [FONT=Tahoma]NO ONE has an answer to your question/issue.
  (Some folks will only respond when they have something MEANINGFUL to say versus a blanket “I don’t know how to do that” kind of answer.)[/FONT]
• [FONT=Tahoma]Folks are just busy and will answer if/when they can..
  (family and other personal obligations, day jobs, paid jobs, etc will usually trump forum participation – this is to be expected – after all it’s unrealistic to expect that folks are sitting around this forum all day and night waiting to answer questions)[/FONT]

Well, we can hope it won't be too bad! Or maybe I should say we can hope it will be real good! ;)

So I'm quoting a post from 10 May 2011, 12:31 PM for a reason..
A. Chadderuski's post turned out to be pretty darned prophetic!!! :laugh:

B. Because I am pleased to announce a BIG BRIGHT LIGHT at the end of the tunnel!!!

Super Orders for Zen Cart v1.5 is JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!:clap:

Yep we're wrapping up testing and updating the readme as we speak. I do want to wrap up Edit Orders too so that I can release BOTH together. So it's not going to happen this weekend, but I am thinking that submitting this in 2 weeks is not out of the realm of possibility.

Here's the highlights:

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.
2. Auto generate Super Orders payment records when orders a paid via PayPal
3. 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:smile:..
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.

6. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=279
7. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...6&postcount=55
8. Correct PDF packing slip to intepret and output currency and other symbols correctly. (trademarks, currency symbols, copyright, etc)
9. Eliminate the need for the common_orders_functions.php file. Edit Orders and Super Orders should have their own functions files.
10. 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.
11. PDF Packing Slip now prints comments the same way comments print on the regular invoice.
12. Correct balance due display on PDf packing slip

Your to good for us Diva! Don't forget to take a rest once in a while :wink:

Looking looking forward since I'm searching for a replacement for my old PDFOC :smile:

(I know, this is way more then just batch printing ^^)

:laugh: You are very sweet..:hug:

Can't take full credit.. I had a GREAT helper/tester for this one.. ScriptJunkie has been NOTHING but patient and awesome!!:smile:

Soooo excited about this new version! I wish some of the other add-ons were also being updated..... I just did a complete new clean install with v1.5 and am hesitant to re-install 'old' add-ons in case something breaks.

Trying not to be too impatient!!!! Volunteers ROCK!

Here's a link to a thread that keeps a running list of the mods which have been updated and/or test-proved to work with zc150

Most excellent! Thanks for sharing the link.

Just a quick question...I put up the current version to hold the client over until your newest one is released. Seems the file is missing the admin/images/icons/comment2.gif file. And the language for it didn't show up either.

If your client's store is ZC 150, the most current version won't work in that store. You need to uninstall it immediately.

If your client's store is ZC 139, then the upcoming version may not be compatible either and you'll be better off with the version you have now. I'll leave that to Diva to answer though, as to whether or not Super Orders 4 for ZC150 will be backward compatible to earlier versions of ZC. My guess is that it will not be.


Regarding missing files....are you sure you have the right mod and the right support thread? SO doesn't have an "icons" folder in admin/images, and there is no comment2.gif file in the admin/images folder.

As for the language file...are you referring to includes/languages/english/modules/payment/purchaseorder.php file? And if so...what do you mean "it didn't show up"?
