Drop Shipping Purchase Orders Module for v1.3.8

[srturner47]

fotofx - glad that worked for you!

And someone should really delete the spam from the last two messages and close those two accounts. Don't know why someone would spam this message board anyway, as all links are nofollow.

Hiya,
I'm trying to install this mod on a clean installation of 1.3.8a on my localhost server and am getting this:



It's also breaking the menu bar (won't drop down).

Anyone else had this?

Thanks!

Anyone?

Is there any way to track Unkown Customers PO's?

nsanford - It sounds like a <?php is missing from your file. Check the beginning of this file: admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/purchaseorders.php It should begin with <?php . I think some older versions of this mod had <? instead of <?php which causes problems with some versions of PHP. Let me know if that doesn't fix your problem.

kwilsuzn - Unfortunately, there is no way to track purchases from unknown customers. My thinking in designing this feature was that most people with unknown customers were already tracking them through an alternate system like Quickbooks, ebay, Amazon, etc... The unknown customer feature just makes it easy to send purchases orders with a pdf packing list and, when using v4, a text file attachment.

First of all Hello to everyone,

Couple of days ago I installed zencart and easy-populate. This site is under construction obviously.

I have just come across the dropshipper module which I can't get my head around to install. I am not really familiar with .php and .sql so this is a novoice area for me, but I am ready to learn, break and fix (just kidding).

Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

noobuser -- I'd be happy to help, but I'd need more specifics about what you don't understand. Read the instructions carefully, and you should be able to implement them. Good luck!

A lot of users have expressed a desire for this mod to send purchase orders automatically when a new order is received. So, I've implemented this feature, and I am releasing the newest version 4.5 of Drop Shipping Purchase Orders. There are two options for automatically sending purchase orders: a cron job and integrating it into the checkout success page which will send the purchase order as soon as the order is received. Of course, manually sending purchase orders is still available. More information is available in the user manual, which can be accessed by clicking on the link in my signature. For those of you who have purchased 4.0, 4.5 is a free upgrade as you have 1 year of free upgrades included. Just login, go to your account, and redownload it. Enjoy!

V4.5 CHANGELOG
*****************************
1) Added the ability to automatically send orders, either through a cron job or from the checkout success webpage.
2) Added a link to the send orders and resend orders page that will check all the orders on the page.
3) Fixed problem with adding products to a purchase order for an unknown customer when the product is located in the top category.

What I don't understand is this --

*****************************
INSTALLATION & CONFIGURATION
*****************************
0) Install Ty_Package_Tracker and configure it properly before you continue. The definition of carriers is the most important one, as our module will plug into it for consistency. If you are not interested in the tracking functionalities of this module, skip this step.

How do I install this Ty_Package_Tracker (confirm_track_sub.php) ? How do I run this? Where do I copy this?

Thanks
