Orders Exporter Module

okay, so I'm simply not able to do this. That's what I suspected. I'm talking with mc12345678 about incorporating this in easy populate.

That will make it a both or nothing plugin. EP doesn't do attributes that I have been able to find. EP doesn't play nice with MS Excel. EP documentation is really sparse. I really, really hope that I am missing something in my interpretation of how EP is intended to function.

Some things are better as 'stand-alone' but that is just my simpleton, non-coder opinion.

well, I need a solution, I don't care how it happens or who does it. This thing has never had options but it has sufficed for the clients who needed this. If someone will get this working, I'll be glad to package it up etc. I don't mind working on this stuff but my php skills have never been strong and transitioning to mysqli and php 5.4+ is just beyond my skill level.

Don't mean to pick at a sore wound but what is it doing or not doing?

Can't say I can help and maybe my needs are too simple because what I am receiving in the daily csv is exactly what I want/need to print product labels. I did use the editing/commenting features to remove unnecessary fields from the download. AND I can use MS Excel.

I have no coding skills other than trial/error in duplicating lines to achieve similar results for similar data.

At this point the attributes are in there 8 times. It was only twice at first.

Maybe it is just a simple setting (or two). It has been a year since I looked at the details but I think Glenn built in a few switches.

Our daily csv does not duplicate any specific attribute line. We do get 2 lines per product but each line is for a different attribute. We have half handful of products that have 3 attributes, so those show up in 2 lines.

8 identical lines or 8 lines of different product attributes?

It works for me. It doesn't work for you. Maybe our needs are different. Maybe it is just a setting switch. Can't say without having something to compare.

Just throwing that out as a possible option or opinion.

[delia]

identical lines inside the order.

[RixStix]

Here's the orders_export.php file that I am currently using if you want to compare for differences. I am trying to grasp how we are seeing such drastic differences.

Would I have it do things differently? Yes.
Am I capable of making it do things differently? No
So I modified my daily tasks to adapt but realize that is not always an option for some.

[delia]

I adapt - my clients don't always work with me like that. That is what I have. Are you on php 5.4?

[RixStix]

surface RT or its version of IE doesn't play nice with forum.


php 5.4.42
I expected to see some differences in the file unless I grabbed the wrong file where I customized the datafields to be included in the csv.

[delia]

nope correct file - then maybe the language file which I did edit. I'll play with it.
