Drop Shipping Purchase Orders Module for v1.3.8

[srturner47]

erez -- Put the current shipping option name in change shipping from and then put "Cheapest" in change shipping to. It must match exactly, so if it doesn't work I'd check your database and grab the shipping name directly from the database. Its quite possible that there is some html code in the shipping name.

mahoneys -- Version 5 should be able to create the XML file using the text file attachment feature. However, this will not send it to an FTP site, it will only attach it to an email PO.

hi i'm using v3.12 of mod and I like it a lot.

I'm concerned about the security of the confirm_tracker_sub.php function which allows vendors to key in tracking numbers by themselves.

It seems that this is likely to be a security loophole as anyone who knows about the confirm_tracker_sub.php page can easily view customer information and modify tracking information.

what are the security features u have in place at the moment regarding this?

[srturner47]

I suppose it is a slight security risk. To use the file, your intruder would need to know both a PO number that has not been shipped and they would need to know which subcontractor you sent it to. Otherwise, they won't get much from this file!

Version 5 has an additional issue which could disclose the admin directory. However, the installation instruction have a way to prevent this by creating a code that must be used via HTTP GET. If you are really worried about it, create a variable with HTTP GET and assign a code to it. Then, check the code before the script is run. Problem solved. Then, just modify all instances of linking to confirm_track_sub.php by adding this code in.

Is it possible to add additional info into the purchase orders that are sent.

i.e. in our store database we also store cost prices, p&p prices for individual products and attribute prices.

Could the purchase order contain this information as well so it produces a full purchase order?

Fantastic module though especially with the tracker mod installed as well. Says me loads of time creating manual PO's

Is it possible to send one purchase order to a supplier even if a customer orders 5 products

[srturner47]

Yes - purchase orders are automatically grouped by order and vendor, so just check the checkboxes, and it will send all the products from your order that are for that subcontractor in one email PO. Click the link in my signature for Drop Ship 5.0 and then click the link in the product description with the manual. Read pg. 47 for more detail on how POs are grouped. This manual is for v5, but the same principles apply as to how POs are grouped in v3.

Yes - you can add extra information by clicking the box to edit your PO email before sending it and add or change whatever you want to. If you want to automate it, you could always add any tags that you want by making some simple modifications to the source code of admin/send_pos.php. Again, see the manual for v5. There is a better list of the tags that you can use (although I do think there are a couple of these tags that don't work in v3). Sorry, the documentation for v3 just isn't as good as it is for v5.

Great site by the way!

Is there a way to make this mod show the orders in reverse?
Mine shows the first order ever on the first page. I think it would make better sence to have the latest order show first.

How Can i make it do that?

[srturner47]

Yes. Click on "Show Newest Orders First". This will reverse the order. I'm not sure if this feature is available in v3 or not, but it is in v5 for sure.

But.....this really shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure old orders have the status you configured as PO SHIPPED STATUS from the configuration page. Then, they will disappear as the system will recognize that they have already been shipped. Much nicer solution for you as the page won't be cluttered with old orders! :)

v3 is the only one in the downloads section.

Is there a permanent way to make the newer ones go first?

Also I am looking to modify the ***->
Is there a way to change ***-> ??
I cant find it in developers tool kit....

[srturner47]

milobloom - v3 is the latest free version. v5 is paid, hence not in the Zen Cart free software add-on section.

Not quite sure what you mean by ***-> .... Is it something in the email? If so, you need to edit the email files in the email directory.
