Sorry folks, but I have been slammed and have had absolutely NO TIME to finish the readme.. I am working on finishing the readme editing, but it is a SLOW process.. So for now if you want Edit Orders 4.0 for Zen Cart v1.5, it is available on my site. (link in siggy)

As SOON as I finish the readme (hoping for mid August), I will submit it to the downloads, start a new support thread, and Edit Orders will no longer be available for download from my site.

Thanks for your patience..

There are volunteers who are working on addressing these bugs. I have no ETA on how soon they will be able to finish the work at this time.. Hoping that it will be soon. That's the best timeframe I can give anyone about the status of this add-on. It will continue to be the answer I give when asked timeframe questions. (sorry folks..)

For those who want details on the outstanding issues here they are:

Edit Orders
Issue: Status change requires comment to be entered
Description: System will not save status without entering a comment. Changing the order status without entering a comment results in an error message being generated, and the updated order status is not saved to the status update table.

Super Orders
Summary: Batch printing invoices/packingslips not page breaking correctly in Internet Explorer, Opera, & Safari
Description: The batch print function of Super Orders is not correctly interpreting the page breaks for invoices, packingslips, and shipping labels. For invoices & packingslips, the page break should happen just above the logo for each page generated. Shipping labels should be printing 4 labels to a page. The page break functionality works correctly in Firefox & Chrome.

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

Enhancements the new version will offer..


  1. Compatibility with Zen Cart v1.5
  2. DONE Eliminate the need for the common_orders_functions.php file. Edit Orders and Super Orders should have their own functions files.
  3. DONE Update e-mail templates so that they match the orders.php e-mail templates when comments are sent or order status emails are sent to the customer.
  4. Comments should work the same way default order comments work. (support for e-mail, no e-mail, or hidden comments). If working properly should allow shop owner to create hidden order comments when editing orders.

So here's what's gonna happen next..

Edit Orders has been posted on my site (link in signature). The install instructions are pretty complete. I still need to vet and update the readme before I submit it to the downloads section here.. As soon as this is submitted and made available in the downloads it will NO LONGER be available on my site..

Now with that out the way here's the BEST part of the new Edit Orders.. two words ya'll...

AUTO INSTALLER!!

No more external SQL files needed to install/upgrade Edit Orders.. Yep that's right.. I managed to get an auto-installer WORKING with Edit Orders!!! (how cool is THAT???!!!) This means whether you are upgrading from a previous Edit Orders install or doing a vanilla Edit Orders install, the auto installer has got you covered.. Uninstall is not automated (the code to make an auto-UN-installer work is above my paygrade.. ) So to uninstall you will still need to use an external SQL file (included)..

That said, and I will also say this in the down and dirty install instructions.. DO NOT RUN THE UNINSTALL SQL when upgrading.. Let me repeat..

DO NOT RUN THE UNINSTALL SQL when upgrading!!!!!!

Why?? It's an UNNECESSARY step and may in fact cause issues..

I will post notice HERE once I finish updating the readme and submitting this to the downloads section.. Once Edit Orders is approved, it will no longer be available on my site. I will also be starting a NEW support thread for Edit Orders v4.x. Though the codebase for v4.x is based on previous versions of Edit Orders, since v4.x is only compatible with Zen Cart v1.5. Thus I think this warrants a new support thread.
