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

[BlindSide]

Hi I've installed super orders but the instructions are telling me to
"6. Install "Purchase Order" Payment Module
The PO tracking system and attached reports won't work without this! Go
to Admin > Modules > Payment, you should find "Purchase Order" at the
bottom. It should look familiar when you install and configure it,
since it mimics the "Check/Money Order" module."
When I go to Admin>Modules>Payment there is NO "Purchase Order" module. Is this a non standard module that I need to download and install? If so can someone link me so I know I have the correct one. I currently use authorize.net so I've never really looked at the other payment modules before.

If you uploaded ALL the files included in the zip, then the PO module would be there. Make sure you upload the "includes" folder that sitting next to the "admin" folder in the zip.

@lurkerfilms - Nice stuff!

I searched the thread to see if it's mentioned already, but I don't find it. Is it possible to default the order edit screen to have the "Notify Customer" box checked by default?

Sure:

<td class="main" valign="center"><strong><?php
                    echo zen_draw_checkbox_field('notify', '', false); echo '&nbsp;' . ENTRY_NOTIFY_CUSTOMER . '<br /><br />';
                    echo zen_draw_checkbox_field('notify_comments', '', true); echo '&nbsp;' . ENTRY_NOTIFY_COMMENTS;
                  ?></strong></td>

Change the red "false" to true in super_orders.php it down around line 930

I get the following sql error when installing sql patch for super orders:

1062 Duplicate entry 'CA' for key 2
in:
[INSERT INTO zc_so_payment_types VALUES (NULL, 1, 'CA', 'Cash');]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.




please help

@babynatura - You've run the SQL file more than once. If the SQL did not complete successfully, you'll have to comment out the offending lines, which should be just the inserts into the so_payment_types table. You'll find them immediately after the comment "-- Some good default payment types"

I've been setting up Super Orders and have run into a problem with order totals editing. From this thread I can see that the problem is quite common.

In Australia, and other countries, prices need to always be shown including tax. This means that invoices include the total of all item prices (inc. tax) in addition to a tax field.

So an invoice might have the following:
Order subtotal: $45
Included Tax: $4.09
Total: $45

If one edits the order totals using Super Orders then the new total will have the tax summary incorrectly added to the tax inclusive subtotal. Using the above totals as an example, if one opens the edit totals window and clicks submit without actually changing anything then the totals would be changed to:
Order subtotal: $45
Included Tax: $4.09
Total: $49.09

The quick and dirty fix I'm using for this problem is to comment out line 491 in super_edit.php which will remove tax from the running total calculated there.

Obviously a better solution would be required for people who do sometimes need tax added. The addition of tax in the total could be made conditional but I'm unsure of what to test...

Hope this helps.

anyone got a solution for this?!?!?!? its driving me mental!

Hi Frank, thanks for your answer. Unfortunately it did not work... I commented out the lines after "some good default ..." and I got a long sql error message... then I only see "super order" menu in the configuration menu in the admin panel, but I still do not see any order edit button / function (which is why I wanted to install super order for..) Can you please help me ?

thanks

Does anyone know of a way to add an order on behalf of a client. I tried the transfer order in SUPER ORDERS, but it doesnt transfer.

I am doing this so I can have the status of orders on-line for my customers, so they dont need to call me for the status.

I tried loging in as the customer, but some have changed thier password, which means I cant add orders for them

Thanks in advance.
P.S. I am using super orders 2 on the latest download of ZEN (As of yesterday)

I've searched for an answer on this and can't find one - is there a way for SO to appear on the admin dashboard, or a way to link 'new orders' direct to SO?

When I click an order link on new orders it appears to want to take me to the default order pages - which returns a blank screen.

Look in the readme file that came with super orders as it gives you the option of removing the original orders system to be replaced with super orders look for optional file edits

I would also reinstall the zen cart as when you click the new orders it should take you to the original orders system unless you made the modifications in the readme file as above.
