I really thought I had checked all that! Ugh. Glad for the new update. I don't know how long it would have taken me to figure ti out otherwise as it was off my checklist. Thanks for the reply.

this why I always suggest that folks read through the support threads of mods they are installing.. most recent info is usually there..

In the case of Super Orders there is a fair bit of info posted regarding it's rediness for Zen Cart v1.5

Hi Dana! Thanks for the update, thank you and your 'team' very much! Looking forward to this an great that you got the auto-installer working just like with IH4.

End of the tunnel has arrived (thanks to AWESOME volunteers!!!), but I am SUPER slammed with work at the moment.. List of enhancements/bugfixes listed below for those who haven't read previous posts..

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

I will package up Super Orders and try to get it posted on my site sometime this weekend.. If I do this please understand that I will only include down and dirty install instructions. I still need to 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 Super Orders.. two words ya'll

AUTO INSTALLER!!

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

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!!!!!!

You will wipe out your payment/refunds/purchase order tables.. (This is IRREVERSIBLE!!)

I will post HERE once I have the installer files up on my site.. As soon as I finish updating the readme, I'll submit to the downloads section..

Happy Friday!!!

Posted on my site last night (link in my signature).. The install instructions in the readme are updated.. The only thing left to do before I submit this is to finalize the readme doc.. Except for the readme, this is the final version. If you are using Edit Orders too, look for that to be posted later today..

One caveat that is important.. If you are using Edit Orders or Ty Package Tracker with Super Orders, DO NOT upload/overwrite the Super Orders orders.php files with the orders.php file from these packages. Super Orders orders.php already has the required code for BOTH mods built in and only needs to be activated using an admin setting..

Grrrrr.. despite extensive testing it looks like the auto-installer works for upgrades, but fails for some vanilla installs.. If anyone has downloaded and is doing a CLEAN Super Orders install I'd love it if anyone could confirm this.. I may need to modify the install package to split out installs from updates.. No biggie, but not what I wanted to do..

Decided not to spend a lot of time trying to get a single upgrade/new installer to work.. So just to keep things moving forward, I will simply separate the upgrade auto-installer from the new install auto-installer..

What I have done is effective, but crude. I'm pretty sure that the auto installer code could be paired down a bit.. Not gonna worry about it.. It works, and that's all that matters to me..

Gotta go workout and eat.. will update the files on my site later..

So sue me... I lied..

I spent some more time the last few days picking at this and I think I've FINALLY nailed down the auto-installer and now have a good version of the auto-installer working that will handle both new installs and upgrade installs..

I also now know why no one has posted any issues with the version they downloaded from my site.. Though the version on my site is a working version, it is in fact an older version of the updated Super Orders that MOSTLY works.. (my bad) The batch printing in this version only works in Firefox.

Now that I've fixed the auto-installer, I will be uploading a new version to my site later today (v4.0.2)..

So if you downloaded Super Orders v4.0.1 from my site, you do not HAVE to upgrade if you are using Firefox or do not use batch printing at all... Just understand that batch printing in v 4.0.1 will not work with Safari, Opera, Chrome or Internet Exploder.. oops I mean Internet Explorer.. So it might be in your interest if you use one of those browsers and do need batch printing to download the new version and update your install.

Again I am still working on finalizing the readme.. when that is done I will submit to the free downloads section. Once Super Orders is approved, it will no longer be available on my site. I will also be starting a NEW support thread for Super Orders v4.x. Though the codebase for v4.x is based on previous versions of Super Orders, v4.x is only compatible with Zen Cart v1.5. Thus I think this warrants a new support thread.

I've patiently been waiting for the release of Super Orders 4.0 for Zen Cart v1.5. Well I downloaded the final version from your website, installed it following the readme and then I wasn't able to access my login prompt. The readme mentions about changing the file names to match my existing ADMIN and TEMPLATE names. I waqsn't able to find any reference to a TEMPLATE in the downloaded fileset. Was it something I did? Please help.

The readme mentions about changing the file names to match my existing ADMIN and TEMPLATE names. I waqsn't able to find any reference to a TEMPLATE in the downloaded fileset.

It's a standard install instruction for add-ons. The instructions (as I have indicated) are DOWN & DIRTY instructions. So if there aren't any "TEMPLATE" folders, then there is nothing to do here.. You do need to make sure the admin folders match the name of your admin's admin folder..

I wasn't able to access my login prompt.

You haven't provided enough information here.. What exactly do you mean by this?? Did you (as you should when there are errors) check the cache directory to see if there are error logs?? If there are error logs what do they say?? Is this a new install?? Is this an upgrade of an existing Super Orders installation from a converted 1.3.8 or 1.3.9 store??
