Shipping Notifications - Multiple People - Based upon items ordered

[mshultise]

I have a non-profit I am working with. They have perhaps 30 items in the store in various categories. Because they are a volunteer organization there are products stored around town. Clothing might be at one persons house, bulky items at another, etc.

At the moment I have all people involved getting a copy of the orders. What would be useful is a way to only email a copy of the order to a person to fulfill based upon the item or even the category it is in.

Is anyone doing this? I thought that perhaps a drop-shipm,ent module might be able to send an order to specific people based upon the item.

Any simple suggestions or I guess I can just leave all fulfillers on the distribution list.

i would look at this module i recently did:

https://github.com/zencart/zencart/c...6a025cd86e1396

i'm guessing it could easily be modified to do what you want. i would think that you are sending everyone a copy of the administrative email. you could then hook into this notifier:

NOTIFY_ORDER_INVOICE_CONTENT_FOR_ADDITIONAL_EMAILS

to turn on a flag, ie $this->change_email = true;, and then hook into this notifier

NOTIFY_EMAIL_READY_TO_SEND

and add code like:

if ($this->change_email) {
  $p2->clearAddresses();
// some process to figure out where the email address.
  $p2->addAddress('[email protected]');
} 

not impossible. little bit of coding knowledge could help.

best.
