OLD Super Orders 2.0 (See v3.0 thread instead)

[Lawbird123]

I got up to page 20 of this thread and figured I'd stop and just ask the question...

When you click on Print Forms the invoices you choose come up in a browser window in individual frames. In order to print a full invoice, at least in Firefox, resize the frame of every invoice and then print. According to the README file all you had to do was click the button and press print, but if I do that then I get one page of the letterhead for my invoices repeated all down the page. The README states that PDF formatting is planned for a future release. Is there an easier way to print these invoices? If not, when can we expect PDF formatting?

Other than that, this is an amazing mod... great job!

DATABASE TABLE ERROR WORK A ROUND - SUGGESTION

I noticed that there are a few with database errors when installing super orders with no specific work a round mentioned (if there are any, I'm sorry that I missed it). May I suggest that prior to installing this fantastic mod that you edit super_orders_sql.sql. Towards the bottom you will see where the inserts are being called for the configuration table. Replace all the NULL values (17 lines) with empty single quote marks in the lines that read

INSERT INTO configuration VALUES (NULL,

They should then read

INSERT INTO configuration VALUES ('',

The configuration table's first field is a primary key (unique) that will not (and should not) accept null values. By placing the empty quotes as a replacement for all of the null values, you let the database auto increment the field (as it should).

Good luck

MY MISTAKE

Replace the null values with zero values (i.e. '0')

Sorry, my bad.

Firstly I would like to admit that I skimmed
Secondly I want to commend you on an absolutely ace mod

I do have a drama though, I just upgraded from a previous version of super orders and it seems that the ability to add products to an order has disappeared *cry* I use this feature SOOO much, I have a site that is 'hyena'd' which means that people sit there and wait for me to list stock and then quickly nab it and race to the checkout before it gets taken out of their cart so anyway last night is a perfect example 1 customer place 8 orders and then I had to combine them so as you can imagine now I dont have this feature I am really bummed Is it something that was just left off or something that was intentionally left out because it was hard to code? Whichever the answer is will it be available in the next release and (not being pushy read above I did skim ) when is the next release due?

Again awesome mod... am hoping I can do a work around rather than going back to the 'old' version of it cause I like the new things you put into it

It was intentionally left out as the ZC team is planning to add SKU functionality to products.. so instead of rewriting it for SO and then rewriting it after the functionality came out, BlindSide left it out. However if I'm not mistaken he's already started working on that functionality and its due in the next version of SO.. whenever that may be :)

hey I just came up w/ a solution for the fire fox view thing, and I frame in stead of a frame.
in admin/super_batch_forms.php, add

foreach ($batch_order_numbers as $order_number) {
          $iframes .= "\t" . '<iframe height="500" width="100%" src="' . $target_file . '?oID=' . $order_number . '"></iframe>' . "\n";
          if ($num_copies > 1) {
            for ($i = 1; $i < $num_copies; $i++) {
              $iframes .= "\t" . '<iframe height="500" width="100%" src="' . $target_file . '?oID=' . $order_number . '">' . "\n";
            }
          }
        } 

around line 383

and below in the mark up you may want to just over write lines 405 -420 to look like

                <body>
            
        <?php
    echo $iframes;
       // echo $frame_set_start;
        //echo $frames;
        //echo $frameset_end;

        // debug
        /*
        echo "Sessions: <pre>";
        echo 'order numbers:';
        print_r($batch_order_numbers);
        echo "</pre>";
        */
        echo '</body></html>';

you can then very easaly pring the orders in to pdf's by maeking a printer stule sheet for this page.

Josh,

Thanks for the input, but my problem was due to an outdated printer (im guessing). When go to print in FireFox (an a Mac) you select FireFox from the dropdown menu and you should see three print options in the middle:

- As Laid Out on Screen
- The Selected Frame
- Each Frame Separately

You can print each frame seperately with the final option, which is what I wanted to do, but I was unable to select that option with the printer I was attempting to use. I tried a different print and VOILA, I was able to print out my frames individually. Thanks for the help!

I know this has been mentioned before and I've gone through the whole thread!!

When using the batch status update the bar turns green and the status gets changed but my customer does not get notified and there is a red cross where it says 'customer notified'.

I do tick the checkbox 'notify customer'.

I have not seen anyone who has had this problem confirm a solution.

Blinside:
You did suggest:

Only one thing has changed in that file between major versions. Open admin/super_batch_status.php. Find this line...

$notify = (int)$_POST['notify'];

Change it to read as follows....

$notify = $_POST['notify'];

Upload and give it a whirl.

I checked and I already have the code without the (int).

Any help would be appreciated.

I've a problem where Super Orders links does not appear in Admin > Customers but it has in Admin > Configuration. My store administration folder was renamed to something else, let say http://www.mydomain.com/myadmin as for security reason. I figured out that was the reason why it does not appear in Customers. How can I set the configuration for this because when I tried on this link http://www.mydomain.com/admin, it was there.

[djsmyers]

Did you by chance change the defines in your admin config?

There are three defines that need to be changed to reflect where your admin directory is located.

In YourURL/YourAdmin/includes/configure.php
Find these three lines and change '/admin/' to '/YourAdmin/' (where YourAdmin is the actual directory name you are using)

  define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
  define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/hsphere/local/home/user/name.com/admin/'); 

Good luck.
