Hi:

I am working with a ZenCart customer that needs 3rd party fulfillment help as volumes are starting to get out of hand for him. In doing a little research for him at ZenCart, it appears that this will do the trick for him in terms of outputting a spreadsheet or CSV file containing a given days orders and transmitting that file to my organization for picking, packing and shipping.

Before I suggest this upgrade to him, has anyone had good experience with it and is it working well with your drop ship provider?

Thanks in advance.

I am currently running an older version of the mod and love it. The current one, Drop Shipping Purchase orders 6.0, has lots of nice features and would be worth the money.

I have been working with some clients on some issues and I think I can shed some light on problems people have been having. See below:

Symptom: Blank page when sending orders or Cannot redeclare class FPDF error when Super Orders is installed.

Cause: It appears that the new version of Super Orders ALWAYS requires fpdf for EVERY admin page. It does it in this file: admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/lcsd_merged_packing_slips.php. Files in that directory are always loaded no matter what page is loaded. So, every page loads FPDF. In addition, the new version of Super Orders also uses an outdated version of FPDF.

Purchase Orders stores fpdf in the admin directory and Super Orders stores it in admin/includes/classes. So, changing require to require_once won't do the trick. Plus, they are different versions of FPDF anyway.

Solution: 1. Take out the require line for fpdf at the top of admin/pdfpack.php. It should look like this:

require('fpdf/fpdf.php');

2. Delete the old admin/includes/classes/fpdf folder. 3. Move the folder admin/fpdf to admin/includes/classes. 4. Find the line in admin/send_pos.php near the top that defines where the font directory is for fpdf. Change it from fpdf/font/ to includes/classes/fpdf/font/. The line you are looking for should look like this:

define('FPDF_FONTPATH','fpdf/font/');

Or...just don't use Super Orders with Purchase Orders.

------------------

Symptom: Using the new version of TY Package Tracker makes the enter tracking page not function correctly or not function at all.

Cause: A legacy line of code in Purchase Orders requires a file from TY Package Tracker that no longer exists in the new version. Luckily, as I said, this line of code is legacy, and should no longer be necessary.

Solution: This makes the solution easy! Just remove this line of code from admin/confirm_track_sub.php:

require('admin/includes/extra_datafiles/tracker.php');

Of course, admin will be changed to your admin directory per the installation instructions. Some versions may have a different line:

require($admin_dir.'/includes/extra_datafiles/tracker.php');

Either way, remove this line and all is well again.

I hope that helps!

Hi,

This is the best mod I've found and and making myu life a lot easier.

One question though. Is it possible to replace the packing slip that is generated with the one generated from super orders which I really like.

Alteratively is there a way to get my logo onto the standard packing slip generated by this mod?

I'm struggling to find the location or code that calls it.

Thanks again.

Hi, is there anyone who can help me fix this problem? I thank you very much in advance!
I had a clear installation (V1.3.9h) on localhost, but when I applied the dbscript.sql on my local server, I had below error message:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM COMMENT='subcontractors' AUTO_INCREMENT=0' at line 1

I am no programmer by any means but would love to install this module. I read the readme file but it does not make much sense to a non-programmer and a new user to Zen Cart. Anyone have simplified step-by-step instructions on exactly how to install this?

Hi,

I've installed this module and everything seams to be working fine except one thing.

I placed a test order, sent the email to myself as the drop shipper and clicked the link to enter the tracking number.

The page confirm_track_sub.php comes up blank.... Here is the URL in the email:

//confirm_track_sub.php?x=0&y=11

Clicking the link returns HTTP 500 Internal Server Error

I have changed all instances of admin to my admin folder. I'm not sure what else I need to change.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Chuck

I really need it to display the products image URL, or even the product URL on the email tat goes to the supplier.

Is this possible? I'm willing to pay if you can do it. Please PM me.
