Drop Shipping Purchase Orders Module for v1.3.8

[JimmyV]

I find the finding of PO very cumbersome currently if I look it is a list of about a hundred pages the highest (and therefore hardest to get to) are the current ones. Can the sort be reversed or otherwise is there a better way to search?

I also tried the advanced search and that does not seem to work for the given order number. So, if I search order 895 it gives me nothing.

This speed seems to be working better now. Probably hosting.

When I click on Send/Resend POs (/admin/send_pos.php):

Warning: main(fpdf/fpdf.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/wolf/public_html/vitamindesignshop/admin/pdfpack.php on line 2

I am also getting this error - can you tell me how you fixed it? Thanks!

fotofx - The mod already does this for you. Just check all the items for each order and send it at the same time. Each item from the same order will be grouped together into one email. You can even send all your orders at once -- Just be sure to wait while it sends several emails!

Example:

Order 1
1 Widget
2 Cats

Order 2
1 Cat
1 Dog

Check all products to send to your one contractor. It will send the following PO emails:

Email 1 for Order 1
including 1 Widget and 2 Cats

Email 2 for Order 2
including 1 Cat and 1 Dog

JimmyV - This mod wouldn't affect the speed of your site. I also don't quite understand how you are searching for orders. There is no option to do so in the Enter Tracking page. The only place you can search for an order is on the resend PO page. I'll see if there is an easy way to reverse the order on the tracking page, and if there is, I will include it when I release the next version.

brenballa - Are you sure you copied the files to right directories? pdfpack.php should be in your admin directory. All the files that come with fpdf should be in your admin/fpdf directory, except for the fpdf fonts, they should be in admin/fpdf/font.

Hi Gang,

I have the mod working excellent. Is there an easy way to tweak the code so that we can assign a separate shipping method to every Sub Contractor (and obviously to reflect that in a mixed cart)?


thanks

Thanks, Your right.. even though it shows multiple PO's it is only sending one to the vender. Appreciate all the help. If anyone is integrating a cart to work with adult-wholesale.com drop me a line and I will be happy to give you my modified send_pos.php to get it working.

gabstero - sure. Just change the part that replaces the shipping method and add an if statement for each of your subcontractors. Example:

change line 443-448 of send_pos.php from

if ($tmpt[0][7] != 'Cheapest Shipping Method') {

$newzawartosc = str_replace("{shipping_method}",$tmpt[0][7],$newzawartosc);
} else {
$newzawartosc = str_replace("{shipping_method}",'Cheapest',$newzawartosc);
}

to

if ($subcontractor['subcontractors_id'] == 2)
    $newzawartosc = str_replace("{shipping_method}","Ship This Via MyWay Express",$newzawartosc);

Add this for every subcontractor. Replace 2 with your subcontrator's id number. Replace Ship This Via My Way Express with their shipping. Of course, all items will go this way for this subcontractor using this method. You can get as fancy as you want to with your if statements to make this do what you want.

NEW VERSION - 3.0 Available! Just uploaded to Zen Cart, so it may take a few days to show up. Here's the link

Changelog:

*****************************

V3.0 CHANGELOG

*****************************
1) Created a way to send purchase orders to customers that are not in your database. This is great for phone orders, ebay orders, etc...
2) Added the ability to review a purchase order before sending it. This allows you to make changes that are specific to one subcontractor...or just simply change stuff on a P.O. any time before sending it.
3) Added several options to the database to give this mod more flexibility and decrease the effort needed to make this mod do what you want. Here are some notable additions to the database:
- Change a shipping option automatically. For example, you can make a shipping option read "Cheapest" on the P.O.
- Omit things from the P.O. when sent to a customer who is not on Zen Cart.
- Edit messages to customers when PO is sent and when packages ship.
- Edit messages that are placed on packing lists.
- Added the ability to choose whether or not packing lists are sent.
- Choose the packing list filename.
4) Got rid of database entry for Own Stock -- This was redundant. Just use the "Own Stock" subcontractor entry!
5) Moved English language stuff in admin directory to the appropriate language files. This still needs to be done for confirm_track_sub.php. Maybe someday!
6) Automatically retrieves store information for packing list, which makes installation easier -- one less thing to modify.
7) Added the ability to change the sort order of the confirm tracking page.
8) Changed layout of send PO page. Much more info is included for each order and this info is much easier to use and understand.
9) Added the ability to put shipping option in the email header section as well as the email footer section.
10) Added fpdf files -- It turns out there is no license on fpdf, which means it can be included. This makes installation easier!

This version is much easier to install and has many more options that are easily configurable. Enjoy!

I will do it now. This plug is the biggest timesaver ever and I, for one, TRULY appreciate your time and efforts.



Kindly,

LOOKS FANTASTIC! Works no problem during several tests so far.

ONE minor thing...

Is there a way to do the same type of sort on the PO send/resend page? I don't current enter tracking info so that area is really not in use.

Yes I know it never ends. Perhaps this is an easy fix but I hate to monkey around in the dark while my site is currently under heavy use.
