Super Orders v4.0 Support Thread for ZC v1.5.x

[wsworx]

Nope still in progress, but low on the priority list. This is all work that needs to be done in my spare time. Which I don't have much. Unless someone pays me to complete the module, other work goes first.

It has been put out there a few times, once by me for sure, that there is interest in paying you to finish the module.
The question is what would it cost and can the community all pitch in together to make it happen?

My advice is to avoid installing Super Orders.
Some of it is useful, but the very slow development means that you are forever having to wrestle with out-of-date code that doesn't quite work.
This makes keeping the rest of Zen Cart up to date extremely difficult.
I seriously regret ever letting my clients see Super Orders.

Unfortunately, at this point. I have to agree.
But what is a person supposed to do now that they have a solid system for adjusting the orders etc on the fly as I have not seen any other plug-ins that allow for this?

I've made some hacks to mine, including adding additional products to orders, removing products from orders, showing/hiding cost/profit w/ a hotkey toggle (requires check-out and orders class edits), edit date, edit payment module, only thing that's a bit ghetto atm, is if you add/remove products only the quan changes in the products table, so you have to edit the sub-total, then the main total for it to recalculate. My code's probably super messy though, I've never really coded w/ others. It might serve well as it's own branch, if someone wouldn't mind walking me through how to do that.

[hairydog]

That's the problem. I've modified SO to work on 1.5.6c (well, some of it: other bits are just an overhead the system is better without) but it's mostly been a piecemeal whack-a-rat circus to weed out (almost) all the errors and deprecated code.
The result is that I have something that works, but it isn't good enough to offer to others.

Does Edit Orders not work for you?

I should really search the admin tools more frequently (: I didn't' realize I was rebuilding much of that edit orders module/code, I might have merge some of it in a long time ago and forgotten. I'll have to check that out again. My add products has a neat jQuery search deal, but I don't know if I'd run it by a customer ...yet.

I have a new install, latest Super Orders on a 1.5.1 store: www.ncwheatmontanacoop.com

I have uploaded the base and core files in the right places and had logged into the admin. Autoinstaller will not run. Please help...

exact same issue with latest version

v1.5.7 I giveup. Ive tried installing this 5 or 6 different ways and each time my admin goes away. I only get HTTP ERROR 500 on the screen. Ive downloaded log files via ftp and each time they reference a different file. The latest log file gave this:

Two things in there:
1. The "deprecated constructor" tells me you're using a order class file written for a very old version of PHP. While you might not have seen this before, if you recently upgraded your PHP version that'll be why it's starting to report about this.

2. The actual problem: your order class file is missing a function that's expected by your custom admin orders.php file.
Chances are your Super Orders mod changed /admin/orders.php by adding stuff to it, but your non-admin /includes/classes/order.php file is still old or hasn't been upgraded to match what the admin file is expecting.

Perhaps it's a bug with the latest Super Orders version? Or maybe you installed the wrong files to your server?
Or maybe you've replaced the files by another plugin, and therefore the expected contents is missing?
