Batch Order Status Update

Mod - Batch Order Update, for Zen Cart 1.5.7.

This mod is for the Admin, Order listing page. It is multi-language.

When an order status filter is selected:

1. A checkbox is added to each order to allow multiple selection multiple selection.
2. A dropdown is displayed to select the new status for the selected orders.
   The orders can be updated in one action, emails can be optionally sent.

How it works
The list of orders and their languages is stored in an array and updated one-by-one using redirects and the language parameter to send each email in the order language.
When complete, the admin language is reset to it's original language.
Clumsy, slow, inefficient...but until the whole order email process is reworked, it will have to do. But it works.

If someone wants the challenge to make it look pretty/fit well into the responsive structure, go right ahead!

Well, that opened the flood-gates of pent-up demand!

Summertime kids are off school. Definitely a valid plugin will test it out.

I installed on my test server 1.5.7c 7.4 php - also running Comment Boiler plate

merged the 2 orders.php files and when I select a status to filter, the page displays as follows:

and here is the error log... not sure what to trace.

Downloaded the newest GitHub update and merged... works! Great Contribution!

BUG UPDATE

The batch Status is working... HOWEVER, it broke the ability to update the status within an order.

The problem with ZC157 is the listing page and details page use the same form attribute name for status.

I did this code based on ZC158 and it's proved impossible to backport to ZC157 without using the unique form attributes introduced in ZC158.
Github is updated with changes.

Are you stating that it then wont work with 1.5.7c, or are you saying the github changes include certain files from 1.5.8 and can be used with 1.5.7c?

The orders file contains snippets from ZC158 to enable this to work in ZC157.

will install and test NOW...

Tested on 1.5.7c works without error. GREAT JOB!

attempting now to merge with with my existing file that includes Boiler Plate Comments

ZC2.1 running php8.0, The observer file is throwing a fatal php error. Its resulting in a blank Orders page. When I turn the auto.PluginBatchOrderUpdate.php off, the orders page loads for all but orders themselves do not load once clicked on. Anyone else getting this to work?

I think you are using old code, I don't find that constant in the fileset in GitHub.

Wonder if I have part of the old fileset lingering....? I'll check it out and report back

I found a lone file that once deleted, enabled the plugin. thank you!
