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

[mauryg]

@Kuroi,

Thanks, Every little bit helps.

Right now I'm looking at modifying the Fedex Automated Shipping Labels mod to work with SO the way USPS Autofill does. Will let you know if it works.

Will that Super Edits you just mentioned allow me to add items and edit shipping and pricing?

I also need to know how to eliminate the second order that Google Cart adds.

It is annoying to have to close out 2 orders per customer. I don't know how this affects my Cash Flow Reports. Do you?

In answer to your first question, no. There is a separate edit orders mod which I suspect will support some of what you want, but I haven't used it for a long time and remember it as being a bit buggy.

Can't comment on your Google Cart issues as I've never used it.

Yup, have that one and Super Orders killed it.

I need to be able to touch all aspects of an order before it ships.

I'm testing this one. I can't add PayPal as a payment method, I always get an error from the data base on Duplicate entry, though there's no duplicate!

PayPal payments show as completed on Super Orders, but still the total amount shows as due. Why can't SO understand paid IPN purchases?

Is there a way to mark batches of orders as completed?

I'm assuming that you are getting a SQL error, correct? Can you give me the exact error text you are seeing?

Two reasons. First the currently released version does not manage PayPal payments made at checkout. 2.1 does. Second, if you process the payment AFTER the checkout is complete, SO will not automatically update because SO does not tie into any external payment systems (yet).

Is there a way to mark batches of orders as completed?

No, but good idea.

@Kuroi: I am looking at your code and will see about incorporating it.

@All: Will have some word on 2.1 soon. I am working on the installer, and getting some support for the returns and exchanges from the team (Toronto was very enlightening all around). None of us want to put code out there that could run contrary to future core admin features. You want me sane, trust me on that one.

Also I am handling mauryg's issues offline. Just FYI for anyone thinking about that one.

UPDATE on various issues I posted:

After a few exchanges with Frank (Blindside) I think I have my answers.

1. The strange "disappearing" order in post #1042 could NOT be duplicated in my WAMP test system, so it appears it was an unknown gremlin. (Hate those!). As for the "Order Complete" and "Order Cancelled" they seem to just put a big time and date stamp on the top of the order details page. Useful.

2. The PayPal problems I reported in 1043 and 1044 are similar to one reported by heidikfi in 1056. From Frank's comment it looks like this will be fixed in v2.1.

3. As for the short php tag mentioned in 1050, this is a carryover from PHP4 practice and causes problems on some servers with PHP5 like GoDaddy. I now go through ALL of the mods before I install them and search and replace the '<?' tags with the proper '<?php' tags.

Thanks Frank, your disguise is working very well.

The error was the 1062 on duplicate entries, when I tried to add PayPal (PP) as a payment method in Super Orders. The error message stated that PP was inserted twice. I have a trilingual website and inserted PP in three languages. When I went to check the database, there was only one entry of PP. I only inserted it once. Can't copy the exact error message here, since I got it several days ago. It looked exactly the same as many people here have copied it (error 1062), except for the PP as the duplicate entry.

The problem others have posted about occurred during system installation; your problem sounds like it's post-install, right?

Anyway, if you look at the so_payment_types table, you'll see there's a unique requirement on the payment_type_code field. If you are trying to insert a PayPal payment type, and already have one for another language, you need to make sure that you don't use the same value for the shorthand code.
