Edit Orders v3.0 for ZC 1.3.9 [Support Thread]

[countrycharm]

Free add-ons are labors of love and done in the spare time of those who contribute them.. So getting the exact feature set you want means either spending the money on a developer to create the features you want, or hope that a volunteer comes along willing to make the changes you happen to want.. **shrug** nature of the beast.. sorry..

Zen Cart 1.3.9h
PHP Version: 5.3.8
edit_orders_v3.03 installed without super orders

I am seeing this debug error also.

PHP Warning: stripslashes() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/USER/public_html/ADMIN/edit_orders.php on line 678

I don't recall this error being reported, and so it's hard to know based on the information you provided whether or not this is an issue which has another cause or not..

I installed this mod without Super orders, and i notice a debug file:

PHP Warning: stripslashes() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /.../MYADMIN/edit_orders.php on line 678

at 678 I have:
$comments = mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_POST));

What is this? Does it affect my regular store functionality?
Thanks for your time.

Hi,

Can someone please point me in the direction to get Edit Orders to work on v1.5?

Completely new to Zen Cart, with no experience before version v1.5.
I did read one poster here had achieved it, but they do not say how.

Grazie

Edit Orders for zc150 is not yet available. Several people are in the process of updating and testing, but there is no E.T.A. on when it will be available, as this free work is secondary to paid work and private lives.

Once Edit Orders for zc150 becomes available, it will be uploaded to the addons download area and an announcement will be made. Suggest you subscribe to this thread so you'll know when it becomes available.

Re: reading that one poster had achieved it - 1) that doesn't mean they achieved it securely and may be leaving their store vulnerable to security issues. 2) the Edit Orders update for zc150 will include fixes of outstanding issues. Sooooo.....it's better to wait for the official release

Good luck and happy Zenning

Yep.. what she said..

Thank you ScriptJunkie and DivaVocals. I was going to have a bash at it myself, but if it is in the process of being redeveloped for v1.5 then I feel any efforts I make would be rather amateurishness in comparison. LOL.

I shall subscribe.

Thank you very much! I'm loving zenning feeling right now, ciao.

Here's what the update is attempting to do in addition to just updating the mod to work with Zen Cart 1.5.

• Support for "optional" attributes
• Ability to delete attributes from products
• Edit Orders will correctly notify admin when an update was attempted and no changes were actually entered.

Optionally am working on addressing this last item, BUT I may not get to this fix this go round..

• Incomplete Order Currency Support - Currently orders placed in a currency other than the default currency show part of the product details in the order currency selected, but display all the order totals in the store currency.

If you need Edit Orders updated RIGHT NOW and cannot wait for the updated version, my suggestion is to hire a developer to update it for you.

Updates will be posted here, but as ScriptJunkie pointed out

there is no E.T.A. on when it will be available, as this free work is secondary to paid work and private lives.

==========================================

The following is a GENERAL message:

I also HAVE to add this since I have already had one HORRIBLE troll-like person contact me on my PERSONAL e-mail account regarding the Edit Orders update.. He seemed put off that I actually suggested that he post his question here. The thought that the WHOLE community could benefit from the question and the answer seemed to be a concept he did not grasp.. (GASP!!)

So I need to say this here.. PLEASE post questions regarding Edit Orders HERE in the SUPPORT THREAD -- not e-mail or PM. This has been an ACTIVE add-on for sometime so usually a community member will respond, and EVERYONE will benefit from the question AND the answer.. but remember that we all have other obligations and free development/support is done in our spare time. So while you may usually get a FAST response (there's several of us who hang out here on a regular basis), sometimes it may take a day or two to get a response..

03/07/2012 12:59:23 False Pending Transaction ID: 664565656654
03/07/2012 17:05:38 False Stock waiting

i need to ad a check button to delete, for example, last status, now order is:

Date Added Customer Notified Status Comments
03/07/2012 12:59:03 True Pending text comment
03/07/2012 12:59:23 False Pending Transaction ID: 664565656654

That would be a really bad business practice IMO, because it changes your audit trail. It's much better to simply change the status from "stock waiting" back to pending with a comment as to why the status changed (i.e. product back in stock, order being fulfilled).

Using the example you provided....(stock waiting)...let's say you DO delete that when the stock is refilled. Then you fulfill the order. Then you ship the order. Customer files a complaint saying he never got the item because it never came back in to stock and so he wants a refund.

Had you deleted that history item when the stock was refilled, rather than updating with new status and comment...you, the business owner and one responsible for upholding your agreement to deliver the product, have no proof via audit trail that you did indeed re-stock and ship the item. You don't even have proof that the item was ever out of stock and that this is why the order fulfillment was delayed, but then ultimately shipped once stock was refilled.

See what I mean? IMO, this is a bad, bad, very bad business practice.

To add to this the BETTER business practice would be to use the hidden (AKA admin only) comments if the idea here is to not have these comments in the customers order history.. No need to delete them.. If they are admin comments, the customer never sees them..

To answer Webmart's question, it is NOT a simple piece of code to add a comments delete function, and there are no plans to add such functionality to Edit Orders. However IF this ability were there it would be limited to the admin comments only because as ScriptJunkie has pointed out deleting comments that the customer can see is in their order history is a bad practice.
