Drop Shipping Purchase Order Module

[milobloom]

Thanks so much Chuckl!

The decending code worked like a charm!
Now this is what I am running into...

#2
Same file, line 33, it uses the 'Email Address (Sent From)' in Admin-Configuration-Email Options.

I have an email address in that section in Admin- Email Options but its not picking it up.

#3
I presume you want to use the cutomer order number there, not the po number?
It won't accept order_number because the database field is called order_id, not order_number

Do you think there would be any way to change this? I just tried butting in {order_id} in this area. However the only thing working is {po_number}[/QUOTE]

#4
I assume you mean that you would like to combine multiple products on 1 customer order supplied by the same subcontractor onto 1 email?
The whole package is set up on a per product basis, rather than a per subcontractor basis, but this could probably be done without too much effort.
}

Cool. Now I wish I only knew how to do this....

Because we rely on alot of Dropshipping companies. I see this as an indespensable mod that should be incorparated into the core release on zen. But who knows, maybe thats just me.

Thats odd on the email from side. I assume we are talking about the same thing, which is the From: in the email header?

You can try forcing it, by just under this line in send_pos.php (line 35 or so)

$PO_FROM=$row_from[0];

add

$PO_FROM='[email protected]';

just below the above line,

obviously replacing the correct email address in there, and see if that helps.

I just checked the code to do with the Subject PO number. While it gives you the choice to have 'anything' in there in the admin config, in practice it is 'anything as long as it's the PO number'. I need to spend a minute or two to work out how to fix that.

Don't fret too much about the one email/multiple product, it's a very good suggestion. I'll have a look when I get a mo'. Main blocking factor is the dreadful tortuous SQL code I have to wade through.

I tried this on that line:

//wyciaganie informacji od kogo jest e-mail
$result_po_from=mysql_query("SELECT configuration_value FROM ".TABLE_CONFIGURATION." WHERE configuration_key='EMAIL_FROM'");
$row_from=mysql_fetch_array($result_po_from, MYSQL_NUM);
$PO_FROM=$row_from[0];
$PO_FROM='nothingbutcostumes.com';

But I still get (None) from the sender section in the email

I just checked the code to do with the Subject PO number. While it gives you the choice to have 'anything' in there in the admin config, in practice it is 'anything as long as it's the PO number'. I need to spend a minute or two to work out how to fix that.

Oh Thank you so much. The Link To add tracking numbers (As stated earlier does not work) So instead what I am asking from my vendors inside the email is to just reply leaving our order number in the subject of the email. Which would save me a step from having to look up the PO number to get the Order Number.

Which, If all of the above gets fixed would make this in fact a complete solution if any one wants to implement drop shipping into their site.

The

$PO_FROM='nothingbutcostumes.com';

needs to be [email protected]
i.e.

$PO_FROM = '[email protected]';

If that fails, I'd also suggest you put a space in front of the email address, to see if that cures your 'none' problems
i.e.
$PO_FROM = ' [email protected]';

if not, I'm afraid it is an email problem with your server setup, not a po mod problem.

The Order # rather than PO # looks like it can be cured quite simply. Elegantly might take a bit more time.
I don't have time to test it at the moment, I'll post it when I have done so.

$PO_FROM = '[email protected]';.

Sends it the same way I am having problems with.

$PO_FROM = ' [email protected]';

Doesnt send anything out at all.

if not, I'm afraid it is an email problem with your server setup, not a po mod problem.

Argh... I wouldnt know where to start. Its not on the server side, All that does it foward the address to a location. I cant find anything in conf....

I look foward to it.. Thanks!

It sounds like your hosting setup is not allowing you to override the 'sendmail_from' address. Unfortunately send_pos.php uses the native mail() function on the server, rather than using the zen_mail function in Zen Cart, so nothing you change will make any difference. Another small change I should look at....

Back to your order numbers, firstly, you would need to change the PO from in Admin-My Store from

PO #{po_number}

to

Order # {order_number}

Then look for the line

$wielowymiar[$i][4]=$row4[31]; //id_orders

around line 297, and add, repeat add

$orderno=$row4[31];

immediately after it.

Then find

$tematk=str_replace("{po_number}",$kod,$tematk);

around line 433, and replace, repeat replace it with

if (strpos($tematk,"{order_number}")) {
$tematk=str_replace("{order_number}",$orderno,$tematk);
}
else $tematk=str_replace("{po_number}",$kod,$tematk);

That should then give you your order site number in the subject, with the PO number in the body of the message.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/***/send_pos.php on line 436

$tematk=$PO_SUBJECT;
if (strpos($tematk,"{order_number}")) {
$tematk=str_replace("{order_number}",$orderno,$tem atk);
}
else $tematk=str_replace("{po_number}",$kod,$tematk);
$po_from="FROM:".$PO_FROM;
$tracking_link_1=HTTP_SERVER.DIR_WS_ADMIN."confirm_track_sub.php?x=".$dlaemaila. "&y=".$kod;

[Chuckl]

Probably the space in the second $tematk

$tematk=str_replace("{order_number}",$orderno,$tem atk);

remove it.
Suffered in the translation I guess.

[milobloom]

Ok!

It working! Uhhh... Almost!

The only problem is when you click on morew then 1 Po to send out at
one time. Then it sends the same number in the header in all the emails.

Ok if you want to send out 1 at a time. But not good for multibles....

[Chuckl]

Ah, not all of us are in direct competition with Amazon and Co. Not used to sending out more than 1 PO at a time.

Just add [$i] after each instance of $orderno -

i.e. Change $orderno to $orderno[$i] in both areas you edited.
