Edit Orders v4.0 Support Thread

[lhungil]

After getting edit orders functioning again, I am noticing I do not have a dropdown on adding additional orders for priced by attributes items. ...

The most common cause of the attribute selection dropdown not appearing is pre-existing damage to your Zen Cart installation (in particular some of the settings for attributes). See this post for more details.

Edit Orders 4.1.3
Focus areas for version 4.1.3: additional safety checks, automated repair of common database issues, logging of relevant information to aid troubleshooting, improved attribute and order total line handling, and easing the general use of Edit Orders.

What's New?
Please refer to the readme included in the distribution zip archive for the full list of changes. Some notable changes include: automatic repair of damaged configuration entries related to attributes, better handling of deleted products, an (optional) Order Total Module allowing administrative users to discount an order, retention of "uploaded file" attributes when updating an order, a "mock" shopping cart to ease the use of Order Total modules ignorant of the $order variable, following the configured Zen Cart "stock" rules for incrementing and decrementing product stock levels, and support for Zen Cart 1.5.2 RC2.

Firstly many thanks to both of you DivaVocals & lhungil for this very useful plugin. You have done a great job!

I had toyed with the idea of installing this tool for a while and finally found the time to do it on the weekend. It came to immediate use when one of my suppliers could not provide the full quantity I had ordered. EO to the rescue: update the qty and issue a new invoice - no probs at all.

As for EO v4.1.3, has been submitted yet?

Cheers / Frank

Thank You for the kind words. It's nowhere near perfect, but glad you found it useful.

And a great big thank you to all the contributors and beta test team!
Without these individuals Edit Orders would not function half as well as it does. They volunteer their valuable time to throw this module at different environments with different modifications... And see if it sticks (or just shatters into many pieces). Their contributions, testing, and debugging contributes directly to the quality of Edit Orders.

frank18 suggested I post my question in the "Edit Orders" thread, I hope this is the right one. :) If not please point me in another direction.

My original post:

Hi there,
Is there a way to add the User information to the Order Edit timestamp when an order is manually updated?

Date Added | Customer Notified | Status | Comments | User

This way we can easily track the logged in Admin that has made adjustments to the orders.

Thank you.

:)

Basically I have 2 admins that run the store, but I'm also looking at creating a superuser to run support enquiries (lost orders through Paymate is one of the reasons for this), I want to make sure that the user has their login name attached to the order update. It doesn't have to show to the customer, I just want to be able to see who edited the order. :)

Cheers ...

While not against the thought of consolidating information, isn't the change affected by the logged in admin individual captured in the admin activity log?

You could check out this post (http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p..._history-table) where I've got such an interface proposed. I use that interface in a couple of the plugins I've submitted, like SNAP Affiliates.

If you only want the "Updated by" feature, you could download SNAP and just use the files that start with "osh_" and the update to the admin /orders.php.

Thank you lat9, that sounds exactly what I need. :)
Being able to see who did what to an order is important to me.

I will take my questions over to that thread when I've had a chance to read more on it.

In the meantime, if I add your option to my store and use the Edit Orders plugin, when I create an order using Edit Orders, will that reflect in the order_status update? Are these 2 plugins compatible for data sharing? It would be good to see that an Admin created the order using the Edit Orders, so it can be followed up if a customer has an issue.

There's a code-merge required for Edit Orders to make use of the "updated by" field. I'm pretty sure that I've got that merge somewhere for the most recent version of edit orders ...
