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

[DivaVocals]

OK ... admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/edit_orders.php is a file that has to be deleted since it is remaining from the previous version of Edit ORders.



Merry Christmas!

Kind regards,

Glad you got it worked out..

Just installed Edit Order V3.03 to a vanilla base zen cart (we've been using the template system for over-rides, but not for anything other than look and feel) and got a couple PHP Warnings in the cache/debug log:

[23-Mar-2011 21:59:49] PHP Warning: asort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/xstimpr/public_html/tuxedoparkbrewers-com/Admin/edit_orders.php on line 2350

[23-Mar-2011 21:59:49] PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/xstimpr/public_html/tuxedoparkbrewers-com/Admin/edit_orders.php on line 2351


Edit_Orders.php lines are as follows:

asort($ProductList[$add_product_categories_id]);
foreach($ProductList[$add_product_categories_id] as $ProductID => $ProductName)

If anyone could make any sense of them as far as how buggy these couple lines of code really are, it would be appreciated. We really just wanted a way to quickly edit a cash order before it was totalled and filled, other than simply creating a second to append to the first. Our store is new and being designed and run by noobs, so GREAT APPRECIATION comes from us to you and hopefully restraint and patience comes back our way : )

Admin has been renamed, I just supplied the default on the forum to cover my tracks.

Thanks in advance...

I hate replying to my own reply but I couldn't find an "edit" button the reply. Still new! And I figured if you looked and bothered to reply to the first question, you might squeeze in some additional quick advice:

Can you delete items from an order simply by deleting the line item from the "edit order" page?

Furthermore, if this is the case, will the inventory be re-posted to the category for the store, or is that something Admin has to do independently of editing the order quantities of the items.

TIA.

UPDATE: Discovered deletion of items can occur by making quantity zero. Still assuming that inventory is replenished (haven't bothered to test for certain at this point).

Having learned the value of reading the forum, especially before implementing a mod, I'm very happy to report that I installed Edit Orders mod without any issues and have edited an order successfully!

Thank you to everyone for sharing their experiences and solutions!

Hi, Can I change an order before it is processed by the credit card? Will it then charge the card the updated amount? I would like to be able to modify the order after the order has been placed, but before the card is charged. My customers often have special installation or delivery needs that I need to add to the order.

Asked an answered in this suppor tthread a few times.. Short answer is NO, Edit Orders doesn't do that..

I hope I'm not stating the obvious here, but if these special needs are options that others may want too (or your customer may want again in the future), you may just consider making them attributes, which would also allow you to adjust the price (or not) as required.

Cheepnis,

Thanks for the comment. We are a retail nursery that sells plants online. We give the customer the option of having us install the plants as well when they are delivered. Many of the clients have special installation needs. When they request installation, I give them a call and discuss the situation. I would like to be able to add additional charges for the extra work (e.g., sod removal, dead plant removal, etc.). These activities are so variable that it would be difficult to convert them to attributes. I'm thinking it may be best to just charge their card (with their permission) for "additional labor" based on the amount of hours we estimate the extra work to be. This is my first shopping cart, so I'm not real sure how to do this yet. I'm thinking just add "additional labor" as an item in the cart. 1 quantity would be for 1 hour and so on. I'm sure there is a better way. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not to be a nag or anything, but I suggest taking any further discussion of any solution to this to a new thread as it is off topic for Edit Orders support.. Suggest searching the forum for "manual order" as it sounds like what lndlyb4 really requires is a manual order process for creating supplemental orders which would allow him/her to collect additional costs.
