Order edit features in Super Orders are NOT flawless at all.. There are issues with adding products with attributes, tax issues, etc.. It's one of the most frequently asked/complained about feature in Super Orders, and why there have been NUMEROUS discussions on the Super Orders support thread about Edit Orders/Super Orders integration..

The upcoming release of Super Orders deprecates ALL of these old editing functions as they are based on a MUCH older version of Edit Orders. Later versions of Edit Orders actually has better order editing features. So to continue to provide order editing functionality for those who need/want order editing, an integration option for Edit Orders is what will be included in the upcoming Super Orders fileset. This will provide MUCH better order Editing than what's currently available in Super Orders. (If you want to discuss Super Orders further, it's best to take THAT part of this discussion over to the Super Orders thread and not hijack this one with an off-topic discussion)

Ummm this is not coming from Super Orders. My guess is that you've installed Edit Orders v1.55. From their changelog:

9. Prevented deleting of orders with 0 products.
If the order has to be deleted this can be done on the orders page.
For this the installation instructions changed and a new button was added.
If the order has zero products the button changes from 'edit' to 'add product' and then takes you to the
add product page instead of the edit page.

I am not trying to hijacking anything and secondly this mod needs more work before it is worth using all the manual entering shipping rates makes the alternative more simple solution. I do not recommend anyone with very little knowledge use this mod

I am sure you have a lot of time in it and most of us will probably wait till you lease your version to see what it is like. But like I said before in other words it is a shame such a good feature to be pretty much abandoned.

I was hoping for an easy fix since it isn't going to happen the alternatives will work for now.

Thanks for your time on the matter

Wasn't trying to suggest that you were.. I merely suggested that if this discussion is going to veer off into a Super Orders discussion that the support thread for Super Orders might be a better place to do that.. 'tis all.. Didn't imply ANYTHING else in my earlier statement..

Ithis mod needs more work before it is worth using all the manual entering shipping rates makes the alternative more simple solution.

Perhaps it's not what YOU need/want, but based on my PMs others in the community are interested in this solution even if the shipping rates table is not included.. (and I've been CLEAR that if I submit what I have working that the shipping rates tables will not be included.. if I find time to add this functionality back I will.. or maybe someone else will come along and do it..)

It's not a PERFECT solution, but IMHO neither is a mod with HALF working features as this mod sits today. The rate tables are a very nice feature to be sure, but the exclusion of them does NOT stop this mod from functioning as it's intended to. The basic functionality of being able to create an order is there even if the shipping rate tables are not.. The shipping rates tables and the customer e-mails DO NOT work well in the versions of this mod currently available.. Not all store owners are okay with partially working mods..

And YES there are other solutions for creating orders from the admin side.. Login As Customer is indeed one of those options.. However, there are store owners who like this mod and have no issue with there not being a shipping rate table included. (versus using a half working rate table)

I do not recommend anyone with very little knowledge use this mod

And I respectfully have to disagree.. For those who want to get this working it's a simple four step matter

1. Install this mod from Ivan's blog
2. Install Edit Orders v2.04 and replace the Edit Orders files which come with this mod
3. Install Add Customers from Admin v1.07 and replace the Add Customers from Admin which come with this mod
4. Create the create_orders_functions.php

That should get anyone a working version of Create Orders (MINUS the half working shipping rate tables and the half working customer notification e-mail)

I am sure you have a lot of time in it and most of us will probably wait till you lease your version to see what it is like. But like I said before in other words it is a shame such a good feature to be pretty much abandoned.

I was hoping for an easy fix since it isn't going to happen the alternatives will work for now.

If I release the version I have (and I probably will as soon as my time permits..) it will be WITHOUT the rates tables and WITHOUT the e-mail notifications. Neither is an easy fix and as I have stated a few times in this thread, both fixes are a little over my head to address.. So hopefully in this open source community, someone else will along, take an interest in this mod, and take a stab at adding it back. Hopefully they will address the current issues with the rates table so that it CORRECTLY grabs rates for ALL active shipping modules.

I am assuming the tables were removed from the edit_orders.php files correct? If so I will have a guy I know hit it up and see if it can be added back properly, just making sure I am sending him in the right direction.

Not sure what you mean by this question (database tables, shipping tables, HTML tables??)..

So let me say this.

The shipping rate code is code Ivan added to the edit_orders.php files which attempted to pull in the same shipping rate data that customer's see in the store. There are two class files in the Create Orders fileset which support this code's functionality. (I posted the names of those files earlier in this thread)

As I have posted previously, the shipping rate table code did NOT work the way it should have. It did not display the correct shipping rates for flat rate shipping or per item shipping, and needs to be FULLY tested that it works for all shipping modules.. UPS appeared to work fine, but I did not test USPS. Furthermore it should also support FedEx shipping for those who use the FedEx shipping module. (as far as I can tell Ivan's code would not support the FedEx shipping module)

So when I submit a new version of Create Orders it will be without the shipping rates table code. IMHO a mod with HALF/NON WORKING functionality is not USEFUL to the community.

I agree but I am making sure I was sending the right direction to him edit_orders.php was the answer I was looking for.

I will have him compare the two versions and see what he can do maybe with some luck it will not be as hard as we think.
