Edit Orders v4.0 Support Thread

[treefrog]

Hi,
Does anyone know the reason for the 'Advanced Attributes Editor' being removed from Edit Orders 4.1.x ?
I've looked around and can't seem to find reference to it here in the Forum nor in Logs etc.
I just wondered if there was a specific reason I should know about before I go about butchering it back in place.
Many Thanks

Edit Orders 4.0 did all the math internally. Edit Orders 4.1 lets functions from the Zen Cart customer checkout and order total modules do most of the math.

Edit Orders 4.1.x currently allows changing attributes (as long as the attributes exist and are assigned to the product - so if the attribute shows on the customer side it shows on the admin side - if not on the customer side it is not an option on the admin side).

The "advanced" attribute editor allowed adding attributes which do not exist in the database to products. This led to an inconsistent customer experience. Also in some edge cases handling products or attributes not in the database can result in unintended side effects (and calculation errors).
