Drop Shipping Purchase Orders Module for v1.3.8

[NadiaUSA]

Hi,

I bought version 4. it works great.

I set myself as the test dropshipper and a potential customer to see the email and pdf I would get.

I got this damon email glitch:

(reason: 553 sorry, your mail was administratively denied. (#5.7.1))

The damon email that sends this error message also displays the purchase confirmation below the error message.


I have it hosted on GoDaddy and I send my PO to myself "ownstock" and have myself buy the product posing as the customer.

1) I have ownstock's email set to [email protected]
2) The customer "myself" is registered with a different yahoo email.

I searched online and apparently it is a host account issue. But there are possibly work arounds. How do I work around this with Drop ship Verson 4 and Ty Package Tracker version 2.3a

Regards,
Nadia

Hi Nadia! Thanks for purchasing v4. Please do me a big favor and send all future support requests directly to me through the "Contact Us" link on my website. I don't want to violate the TOS for this message board, and I am a little worried that addressing a commercial product on the message board isn't kosher. I'll communicate via email, and my responses should be just as quick! :)

But, your problem does seem to apply to all versions of my mod including v3, so I think I can address it here:

After looking around, it looks like GoDaddy spits out this error message when you set the sender's email address to something that is not from the domain name. To change this, go to Admin Site -> Configuration -> Purchase Orders and click on "po - from email address". Change this email address to some email address that you have at GoDaddy. I think this should fix your problem.

Mustang394 -- Perhaps your zen_mail function somehow is corrupted or wasn't updated when you updated Zen Cart in the past. Backup /includes/functions/functions_email.php and then try replacing it with the one I have attached to this email.

Let me know if that works. If it doesn't, do you mind me asking who your server is?

I think I fixed it in zencart by selecting __>configure/email option
Then choosing sendmail instead of PHP

hmm that did the trick. however there was another mod added that seems to be in that file. I don't see why it would affect it.

Gonna try manually adding the modifications and see if that helps

Thanks

Added the code from the other mod maually and it still works now have file attachements.

Thanks for your help.

Hi All,

I have downloaded this module and must say that im impressed with the amount of time that it has already saved me on ordering items. My suppliers love it too!

Im on 1.3.7 which means i dont get the attachments but thats a small price to pay to save time!

I have a couple of questions and maybe suggestions, a couple of which ill work on myself for now.

1, It would be great if you could mark a supplier as 'Dropship' or 'Wholesale' If its dropship then a single order is raised per customers order, or if its wholesale then it ignores the customer and places all the pproducts selected from multiple customers orders onto 1 purchase order from your supplier. (hope that makes sense?)

2, Custom emails per supplier. Im going to reproduce the email templates with a suffix on the end which matches the Supplier Short Name option. Then i can call a specific template per supplier and ensure that all the information is relevant to that supplier. Some of mine want to see different bits of info so it makes sense that they have their own email templates

3, Some of my suppliers allow me to have access to a stock feed which i import into my system. I will probably amend the 'PO's - Send/Receive' screen to show the stock quantities currently available next to each product code.

Just a few things that i know would make my life easier, and maybe others.

Thanks for the MOD, love it!

Mustang394 and NadiaUSA - glad that did the trick!

Wilksey-Glad you are enjoying the mod! These are some good suggestions, I'll address them one by one:

1) Sounds good, but who would all the products go to? Different orders may have different shipping addresses.

2) Version 4 has this ability, see the link in my signature if you are interested. It doesn't use different files though, instead it uses addition and subtraction tags. If you want totally different emails, you can just create several emails and have addition tags only for that supplier, so different files weren't really necessary, this should be just as easy. You can read more about this functionality in the user manual, which can be accessed from the link in my signature.

3) This is also a great idea, but since this would be manufacturer specific, it would make more sense for you to implement this yourself.

Hi

Suggestion 1 is for suppliers who do not dropship. Currently i have 3 suppliers. I have 2 that will dropship for me so the current setup works great. But my other supplier i simply order the items i need, have them delivered to myself and then ship out to the relevant customers. Its the ability to conslidate multiple parts onto a single PO but without having to do this manually. If this functionality was available with this then i would be a very happy bunny!

2, ill go check your link out. Thanks

3, Been thinking more about this and may use a bit of ajax. that way i can select my supplier from the dropdown and it will show stock. that way i can easily switch between suppliers and see who has what stock. Bit more tricky but definately worth it for me!!

Your suggestions on no 1 would be greatfully appreciated

Great Mod.. I have been using 2.0 for several months now and need to do a little modification.

I want send_pos to run at checkout success automatically on each order. I know this is not normal but for our application it is needed. Any suggestions on making the mod?

Thanks
Steve
