    Default Order Status Update / Append Comments & Noitify Customer

    Hi,

    I'm running a script that connects to my database and updates the order status and appends a tracking link but I can't figure out how to get this same script to fire off the email that would be sent if you did this manually via Orders >> Edit in Admin.

    The bit of script in question is as follows:

    PHP Code:
    {

    $string "My update text here";

    $connection mysql_connect($host,$usr,$pwd);
    $insert mysql_db_query($db"INSERT into zen_orders_status_history (orders_id, orders_status_id, date_added, comments) values ('$itemid', '9', '$now', '$string')"$connection);
    $update mysql_db_query($db"UPDATE zen_orders set orders_status='9' where orders_id='$itemid' "$connection);
    mysql_close($connection);


    I trawled through many previous posts but without luck. Assume the code I need is buried somewhere in orders.php but I'm paint by numbers when it comes to code so any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards,

    Brent

    In v1.5.1, lines 105-234 of /admin/orders.php are what handle processing the inputs submitted on the browser and taking corresponding action to apply the updates and send the emails.

    Brent,
    Any chance you can share more info on this script/tool you have created? It sounds like something I'd be interested in implementing.

    Not sure if this is what you are trying to do with your script, but have you looked at the Ty Package Tracker add-on.. It allows you to send out a shipper tracking link to your customers..
