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

[DivaVocals]

Perhaps that's the root problem - he's trying to add a shipping charge after the order's already gone through checkout? He should be getting the shipping charges into the order prior to checkout by using a shipping module, not super-orders.

Yep.. Anything you add to an order AFTER checkout whether you use Edit Orders or Super Orders will NOT be reflected in the balance show by your payment processor. It should be collected during the sale.

Now if you have a situation where you need to calculate shipping AFTER an order has been placed, you will need to collect it seperately from the order.. If you want to do this all through Zen Cart, you can use hideCategories to help achieve this.

I have one customer who uses the hideCategories add-on to create "special" products that she sends the customer a link to access. The hide Categories mod allows her to hide these products from other customers. The customer adds this special product to their cart and checks out like normal. She uses these "special" products for products in which additional shipping has to be calculated and collected after the sale or for custom orders where she has collected a deposit from the initial transaction and needs to collect the balance of the custom product cost. You will need to add the hideCategories code that is in the orders.php file in with your super_orders.php file to sue this mod with Super Orders..

Got everything put together and tested. Before I submit it to the downloads section is there anyone who is interested in testing this?? Some feedback from another Zenner would be nice..

[relix]

I will test it.. Just so I don't have to read this whole thread on what fixes to put in it

I will also test if you want. I use Super-Orders very extensively.

[paddy100]

me too, just let me know.
I am putting together a new site as we speak.

Here is an uninstall script for previous versions and versions up to 47.

The SQL install included inserts at a free configuration_group_id, and not the static 28. As an effect, the configuration_group_id may vary over installs so you need the new uninstall to properly delete it if you want to go back.

Cheers,

I don't know much bout sql, sorry for asking some basic questions Hope u don't mind.

I want to remove the super order 2.0rev47 module, I've revert all the php files added/edited, but I have no idea how to uninstall the super_orders_sql.sql, is it I just install the sql file in admin>tools>install SQL patches you posted? (If yes which one do I upload, "uninstall_super_orders_sql.sql" or "uninstall_upto_version47_super_orders_sql.sql"? )

How do I check that the super_orders_sql.sql is in my database, so that after uninstall I can make sure that I've remove it?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the offers to test, but when I didn't get any responses within a day or two of my request, I went ahead and submitted the updated mod for approval.. Hopefully the admins will approve it soon.. Here's the full list of changes it includes

Change Log

• Clean up and reorganize the readme file
• Addition of a “Required_CoreEdits” folder. This folder contains files that include the edits outlined in the the “REQUIRED FILE EDITS” section of the previous version of the Super Orders readme
• Addition of an “Optional_Files” set of folders. This folder contains files that include most of the edits outlined in the the “OPTIONAL FILE EDITS” section of the previous version Super Orders readme
• Removed all the authorizenet_aim.php edits from readme because they appear to be from an older version of the Authorize.net payment module files. (These instructions are in the "OPTIONAL FILE EDITS" section of the previous versions readme file)
• Updated e-mail format (modified lines 30 - 33 of order_status_email.php) to improve the aesthetics of the e-mail generated
• The "Edit Status History" function has been removed. It creates an audit/accountability issue by allowing the editing of order notes/comments. The "Edit Status History" feature also injects HTML line breaks and ASCII line breaks into the database, and these line breaks are displayed when the customer views their order history from "Status History & Comments". This particular problem goes back to 2006, and has not been fully resolved/addressed even in the last version of Super Orders.
  
  The problem is due to the comments not being properly scrubbed before inserting them into the DB. This particular issue also is a potential security flaw.
• Removed the code in Rev47 which was supposed to correct the customer notifications and in particular the behavior of the "Customer Notified" flag in the "Status History" section. The "Customer Notified" flag did not match the actual activity. The Rev47 code did not correct the issue. The code to fix this problem comes from the the super_orders.php file that comes with Numinix's Fast & Easy Checkout. (v1.6.2)
• Changed the packing slip images to an on/off option. (Previous versions limited the number of images that would show on a packing slip to 3 -- other options for packing slip images are found later in this readme in the Other Tips/Edits section)
• Other changes in this version of Super Orders are based on the following threads:
  
  1. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=720
     Items 1-3 are all various fixes which corrects the shipping display to show the full shipping description (carrier and shipping service) on the following files: super_packingslip.php, super_invoice.php, super_orders.php, and super_data_sheet.php. The default Zen Cart packing slip, invoice, orders, and datasheet all display the FULL shipping description while Super Orders has always used the short shipping descriptions. (It is likely that this is because this was a requirement of the client for whom this mod was originally built for)
  2. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=777
     See Item #1 for description information
  3. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=851
     See Item #1 for description information. Fixes shipping description on the super_orders.php file.
  4. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=1079
     For products with text attributes that include multiple lines and line breaks entered by the customer, the default Zen Cart order invoice prints out the text entered by the customer fine, and retains the multiple lines and line breaks entered by the customer. However, the Super Orders invoice does not. This fix addresses that issue. Applied this fix to super_packingslip.php, super_invoice.php, super_orders.php, and super_data_sheet.php)
  5. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=1126
     Corrects an issue where Super Orders fails to update the "last modified date" when updating the order status using the batch status update function
  6. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=1146
     Includes an optional edit for the default state of the "Notify Customer" checkbox
  7. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=1147
     Addresses another error in Append Comments & Notify Customer as well as a clarification on how these features are SUPPOSED to work. Changes to language files were made to support this.
  8. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=1316
     Fixes the issue with packing list images displaying distorted
  9. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=1436
     Options for how the number of images are displayed on packing list (more options for packingslip imagescan be found in the Other Tips/Edits section of this readme)
  10. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=1474
      Fixes issue with Batch Status Updating & Batch Printing which throws errors when you search for orders using the following options:
      
      • = equals
      • < less than
      
      As there is an issue with "= equals" not working with decimal values (ie: $2.50), the "= equals" option will be disabled from the dropdown. Perhaps someone will post the actual fix for the "= equals" option.
  11. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=1487
      Fixes the textarea element on super_batch_status.php so it displays correctly in Internet Explorer. This is a bug with the way Internet Explorer displays textarea elements. The original author of this mod posted a hint regarding this issue here: (http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=292293&postcount=2

What exactly does Super Orders do?

What exactly does Super Orders do?

From the readme file:

Description
Super Orders is exactly what its name implies: Zen Cart order management on steroids.
It's more in all the areas Zen users are asking for more:

• more navigation options
• more order control
• more thorough data
• more detailed reports.

But it's NOT more than you can handle. The system was designed for data entry clerks (some of the least-technically inclined people on the planet). You're a Zen user. You can handle it.
Ready to get started? Just follow the installation instructions below: note that the system only makes small changes to three pre-existing files!
Any questions, just hit the forums: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44668

!!READ EVERYTHING!!
I very strongly recommend you read through the *entire* FEATURES section beneath the installation instructions. There you will find out exactly what Super Orders can do. There are some cool tricks that you won't know about if you don't read them!

I recommend downloading the app and reading through the read me file for more details..
