    I am currently developing notes to explain each and every stock Zen Cart function for training purposes. Like converting the e-Start Zen Cart book into on-screen instructions.

    Turn the training notes on and you've got a guide for new employees using any of the Twitch modules. Turn them off for top level admins that don't need to see the 'how to'.

    I'm using admin notes out of the box - to store notes about customers, orders, categories and products already, great sales tool!

    However one of the most commonly asked questions is 'How do I use this module after it has been installed?' or 'I need to train my new employees with Zen Cart where do I start?'.

    The current package can be modified to include notes that everyone could see on screen, essentially giving you the how-to book to operate Zen Cart on every page.

    Once the e-Start manual is converted to admin notes, turn the status on and you'll see notes, off and they don't get in the way. Also, when someone installs a new module they'll (potentially) get the user manual included to give them the how-to knowledge on screen.

    Another option is to setup an admin profile that has all of the admin training notes turned on. There is a growing need for Twitch POS to be a complete software solution to bridge bricks and mortar stores with web/mobile sales. That solution needs to be more functional for store owners with less steps/learning time and a how-to manual.

    This is especially necessary when someone within the company is on holidays or passes away, the notes will remain.

    To prevent the following from appearing in your error log:
    PHP Warning: mysql_insert_id(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'
    Change (in admin/note.php, 2x):
    PHP Code:
      $insert_id mysql_insert_id(); 
    To:
    PHP Code:
      $insert_id $db->Insert_ID(); 
    (mysql_insert_id() is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0)

    Should be the admin/notes.php file of course.

    I have updated this so the add customer note stops showing when editing a configuration field. This was occurring because both customers and config URLs contain cID. I simply added an extra condition in 3 files (notes, notes_buttons and init_notes_notifier) so this
    PHP Code:
    isset($_GET['cID']) && (int)$_GET['cID'] > 
    became this
    PHP Code:
    isset($_GET['cID']) && (int)$_GET['cID'] > && !isset($_GET['gID']) 
    There were a few different, but similar, lines in the init file. I have submitted an update in plugins section.

    Nice to see this add on still is being used!

    A bit unfortunate I never got to optimize the layout and some other details, but all in all still happy with the result

    I am very happy that this mod exists! When there are multiple admins (6 for us, and growing), it is extremely helpful to have notes that others can refer to when dealing with something such as an order or product. Once I have the updated site finished and launched I may try to get some of the todo list for this done, have to see if the rust has been knocked of my coding enough to accomplish it. Thanks, paulm!

    On PHP 7.1.30, and reporting all errors, I get this in my logs:
    Code:
    PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: notes_customer_result in  /xxx/ADMIN/includes/init_includes/init_notes_notifier.php  on line 67
    Code:
    PHP Notice:  Trying to get property of non-object in  /xxx/ADMIN/includes/init_includes/init_notes_notifier.php  on line 67
    This is line 67:
    PHP Code:
    if(isset($_GET['cID']) && ($_GET['cID'] == $notes_active->customers_id) && !isset($_GET['gID']) ||(($notes_customer_result->fields['customers_id'] > 0) && ($notes_customer_result->fields['customers_id'] == $notes_active->customers_id)) && !isset($_GET['gID'])) 
    I have been looking to see what I need to change to eliminate these notices, but cannot figure this one out. I have tried declaring the $notes_customer_result as a global variable which does eliminate the first notice, but am not sure what is a non-object in the line to figure out what to change to make the notices go away.

    You need to do some tests (like is_object) on
    $notes_active and $notes_customer_result. I suspect one of them is not set the way it should be.
