Super Orders v3.0 Support Thread (for ZC v1.3.9)

[DivaVocals]

Seriously, I've spent hours between yesterday and today reading through this and Super Orders 2.0 thread and there is conflicting information throughout.

The information I have posted has been QUITE consistent.. (and I have posted the same answer to this question a few places in this thread)

Could you please just give me the correct answer?

Seriously it's on the same page as the post by Rizla you quoted:

Thanks for giving me the straight answer. There have been three updates in the downloads sections since that was posted, so I incorrectly assumed it would have been in one of them.

Then I found this post: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=207

Which I thought might have been the code I needed.. but guess not. Just overwhelmed right now. Sorry.

I understand and had read those posts along with pretty much every post in this and the 2.0 thread. Thanks. Have had a really rough couple of days. Didn't mean to be snippy. Thanks again.

You're welcome. We understand that sometimes Zen Cart and it's more intricate addons can be overwhelming to learn about. We don't withhold information to be rude....it's just time consuming to keep repeating information that's already documented. Also, doing searches and finding info you need is an important part of the learning process in terms of becoming empowered as a Zen Cart store owner (or designer or manager).

For your future reference, it helps if you list the results of your search and explain what it is about those posts you don't understand.

Also for your reference and to help you understand what you saw in the downloads section:

Those were "immediate need" fixes done by another member who generously shared with the entire community. (not the same thing as "the next release"). Also, if you read the release notes for those fixes in the downloads section, you are able to see exactly what the fixs or patches were.

None of them indicate a fix for the paypal issue, which is what you were looking for. Per the threads you found and read before posting, that fix is coming in the next release, which has been being worked on for the better part of the last year. (It's a MAJOR addition and/or change of core zen cart code. Between writing the code, testing it, perfecting it, etc...that all takes a huge amount of time done by volunteers who must put paid work, health issues, family issues, personal time, etc... ahead of the volunteer work).

It's coming...just hold on a while longer

Thanks. :) I really do appreciate all of the time and effort you all put into these things. I just wish I knew how to do more myself so I didn't have to bug everyone.

Asking questions is exactly what the forum and support threads are for though We were all new once and can recall the frustration. One of our goals (in addition to providing support), is to help users learn from the support provided so that they can become more independent users as time goes by. Even so, you will see posts by experienced users who have questions and issues they can't resolve on their own. (You should see some of mine - they're a real laugh fest).

Even the Zen Cart developers work as a team to help each other build new releases - I'd be surprised to hear of any one individual who knows all there is to know about ZC and it's various addons

Hang in there, you'll get the hang of it, and when you do... I promise you it will be worth the journey

If this was the answer I really would have pointed people there.. Blindside's post is SIX years old.. It does not apply, and is not the solution..

Thanks for giving me the straight answer. There have been three updates in the downloads sections since that was posted, so I incorrectly assumed it would have been in one of them.

Two quick questions & I apologize up front if someone already covered this but, I've searched & have not found any answers.
1. How do I change the regular packing slip from the Super Orders page(not pdf) to have the "Ship To" information on the right side & the "Bill to" information on the left side like the invoice does?
2. Can I make it so no comments show up on the packing slips?

Anyone???

You are going to need tools (i.e. Firefox with the addon Firebug installed, for example) to be able to identify and isolate the code you are wanting to edit and you will want to make a back up of the files you edit before you begin.

1. To move "ship to" info to the right and "bill to" info to the left on the packing slip....What happens if you open admin/super_invoice.php and use it as a guide to help you edit admin/super_packingslip.php?

2. To remove comments from packing slips, you would have to edit admin/super_packingslip.php to identify and remove or comment out the code responsible for displaying this information on the packing slips.

Sometimes community members experienced with a specific mod will jump in and give step by step directions, or at least point you in the right direction (i.e. look at this line of that file, etc). But as nobody has done so thus far, I'm not sure this is going to happen for you.

As long as you make back ups, there's no reason you can't play around with the code and see if you are able to accomplish what you're wanting to do. It's the best way to learn if you have the time and inclination to do so.

However, if you don't have the time, inclination, or confidence to dive right in, you may want to consider hiring someone to do this for you.
