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

[tracyselena]

Hi,
I'm looking for a manual order entry system for my store owner so she can add orders from the back end.

Is this what Super Orders will allow her to do?

I read through the files that came with the install but I don't see the answer to this question there.

Can you let me know...Thank you so much.

No. If she's taking phone orders from new clients then using Add Customer from Admin combined with Admin Login as Customer will do.

Alternatively if she's only taking orders for existing clients, Encrypted Master Password allows you to login as the customer from the store side.

Either way, the actual order placement is done through the store as if the customer.

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 ?

You shouldn't comment from that point forward all the way to the end, just to the end of the payment_types section. The last line to comment out should look like this:

INSERT INTO so_payment_types VALUES (NULL, 1, 'DISC', 'Discover');

Barring that, the easiest thing to do is restore your database from backup and try again. That remove all traces of SO and allow you to try again. You DO have a backup, right?

ROFLMAO!

Un-named company that I work for doing about 20mil a year in sales...

When hired, I inquired about their disaster recovery plan... was told "it's covered"... <shrugs shoulders and goes about my business>

About 6 months later insert 5 alarm fire in main building taking it to the ground (six inch gas main made putting it out impossible).

They were using DAT2 (gasp & shudder) on an IBM AIX system. They DID take a copy home every night... they NEVER attempted a restore on a secondary box. Turns out the DAT2 drive was bad (weren't they all?) ... it made unique backups only IT could verify... Long story short: Lost all data including accounts receivables!

You DO have a backup, right?

I just love that! Many many related stories!

Perfect example, chadderuski. In my experience, everyone and every company, (large and small) can be really bad with backups. But it's up to everyone to do their part.

To bring your example home here, backing up a MySQL database is so brainlessly simple that there's no excuse. If you have command line access it's even easier, as you can simply copy the entire data directory or use mysqlhotcopy.

There's a reason the first instruction in the README is to back up.

[aside @babynatura] this is not at all directed at you, so please don't take offense. You haven't answered yet, after all.

First, we love this mod and it's working great so far! However, we just noticed one minor thing today:

Some of our products have a one-time option attached to it to handle extra shipping charges (i.e. tube mailer for posters). Now, while the extra charge shows up in admin and in the 'print data sheet' window, it's not on the invoice.

On the invoice, it lists the mailer, but has no unit price, yet the total is correct. While it's ok for us, the customers may get 'confused'. Is there a quick fix for it?

Thanks,
Andrea

Anyone with help to solve:
"Furniture Packs" = One product (unique price), but when ordered stock of all product in pack changed.

Thanks!

Hi Frank,

I'm having trouble with displaying the USPS Shipping Method in Super Orders. The Orders Listing only displays United States Postal Service and not the actual method. Same issue with details, invoice and packing slip.

I'm running:
// $Id: super_orders.php 25 2006-02-03 18:55:56Z BlindSide $

Will an upgrade to r46 solve this problem?

I've been asking over here, btw, where I've posted a screenshot detail:

Thanks in advance,

Take a look at page 78 of this as it has been discussed before.
