Orders Status History -- Updated By [Support Thread]

[lat9]

As there have been no changes to /YOUR_ADMIN/orders.php since v1.5.2, this plugin is ready for Zen Cart v1.5.3!

[lat9]

v1.2.0 is now available from the Plugins area. The update provides downwardly-compatible changes required for Zen Cart v1.5.4.

Would you consider making a version that is for showing who last updated a product?

create a new field in TABLE_PRODUCTS and have that enter the admin id into there?

Obviously this would have to be integrated into the catalog instead of orders, but is it something you would consider?

[lat9]

I'll think about it, but it'll be a low-priority item as it's not a feature that I need.

I'm having problems, I've merged everything, in the comments section it is pulling the data from the table, i.e. if i got to the database and manually enter an updated by value it shows that data.

But it appears to not be updating the table when i update an order.

[DigitalShadow]

I can see the problem, there is a large section

osh_updated_by changes 1/4

where you have commented out part of order.php for i presume, your osh_updated_by_functions.php file, but on my orders.php there are things in those sections I can't comment out, this is where the problem lies.

[DigitalShadow]

can the code for updating the table for who updated the order just be included in orders.php?

[DigitalShadow]

The section below is from my orders.php, i've managed to merge all other tracking mods into your osh_updated_by_functions.php file, but I can't figure this but out.

What do I need to do in this section?

$email_comments = (zen_not_null($message) && $email_include_message === true) ? (OSH_EMAIL_TEXT_COMMENTS_UPDATE . $message . "\n\n") : ''; 

            $notify_comments = '';

can the code for updating the table for who updated the order just be included in orders.php?

You can certainly pull the $updated_by determination from /includes/functions/extra_functions/osh_updated_by_functions.php and include that in your customized version of orders.php.

You'll need also to copy the zen_updated_by_admin function and the code that adds the updated_by field to the database (if not already present).

Please note: The notifiers issued by the zen_update_orders_history common function are used by a fair number of my other plugins to recognize that an order's status information is being updated and, if so, what has changed.
