PDF Order Center

[DivaVocals]

Ok I understand. I was just concerned that maybe super orders had changed something in regards to how the billing and shipping address was used in the admin files and that was affecting the pdfOC as it was release before superorder 3.0 but if you are so certain that the super orders is not taking over the orders area on the zencart then I will look at other areas.

Neither one of these mods affects or modifies "something in regards to how the billing and shipping address was used in the admin files" at all.. These two tools merely allow you to manage your orders.. They don't change ANY core Zen Cart functionality.. They simply allow you to DISPLAY and UPDATE your orders..

I think what may be throwing you is that SO and PDFOC have similar functionality.. Having similar functionality does not make them the SAME..

(and BTW even if we HAD changed Super Orders in some MAJOR way it still WOULD NOT affect PDFOC in anyway because they still remain TWO SEPERATE MODULES with NOTHING in common in terms of code, files etc..)

It is just very frustrating.

I understand, but not for nothing you've been waving fists at everyone the last few days, and most of your issues IMHO are more a byproduct of you making an enormous number of changes all at once.

When that happens it's hard to get a handle on what change caused which error.. Which is why those of us supporting mods can only address issues we can replicate..

My suggestion is to setup a test store, install your mods ONE AT A TIME.. Then test test test, and don't move on until you are sure it works and works with anything you already installed..

In regards to super order yes it is more comprehensive but we really like the ability to print the packing slip and the invoice in one batch and that the packing slip is exactly that a PACKING SLIP not a invoice renamed like the super order PDF packing slip. Also we like that fact that when we print the packing slips and invoices we can do it in one batch plus we can set the PDFOC to update the status in the same step.

With Super orders to achieve the same you would need to do the whole process in 3 steps - first so you can get a true invoice and a true packing slip with super orders you choose the orders, then click invoices, then print then click packing slips, then print then you have to go to the batch update do another search then choose the orders and update. Then you have to get all the orders and correlate the packing slips and invoices - all very time consuming. This wouldn't be a problem if I only had one or two orders in a day but we have a busy store so the super orders even though I like a number of its functions is still a bit time consuming.

Please don't get me wrong I like super orders and I like PDF OC that is why they are both on our store. I am just having so many issues at the moment since we upgraded that I am trying to fix one problem after another and I want to isolate the issues and the conflicts.

Thanks again for you help and I am sure that I will figure this out.

so it's clear.. (and PLEASE don't take this the wrong way) I honestly have no feelings one way or another what modules folks choose to use.. if your comments above are in response to the quoted part of my last post:

For the record: PDFOC is not nearly as comprehensive as the Super Orders contribution from BlindSide (Frank Koehl). PDFOC began as a port of Batch Print Center from osCommerce to Zen Cart. Along the way I spiffed up the interface and gradually expanded it to take over all the functionality of the default Zen Cart orders.php page, and added in a couple of extra features. PDFOC is meant to complement Super Orders, as an alternative for folks who want to be able to batch-print PDF invoices, packing slips, etc. You can use both contributions in your store.

that came STRAIGHT from the PDFOC readme file.. I was trying to make sure it was clear to you that these mods have NO CONFLICTS at all..
