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

[DivaVocals]

Yes it has been modified. I'll get my programmer to modify the code so that it defaults to the default currency during checkout. Thanks for your input.

Did your programmer use code previously posted in this thread to add PayPal auto payment?? It helps the community if you can report the FULL story.. (Especially if you are using code that's been previously posted)

FYI, it's helpful when posting in a support thread to let folks know that you've made modifications to the default code.. It would have saved us all a bit of back and forth posting..

You can look at the Paypal automatically added to Super Orders from the post http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...532#post611532
I have added the code and it has been working on our site for the last year

Many thanks for that topcat24, and to you as well DivaVocals. I only accept payment from Paypal in £'s so I should be alright shouldn't I?

Depends on what you mean by "accept £".

For example: My client only accepts USD for payment, but supports multiple currencies so that her customers can SEE their order in their national currency versus USD. However, her PayPal account is set up so that she only receives payments in USD. If the customer selected a different currency for their order, in Zen Cart the order details are displayed in the currency her customer placed their order in (See image)


In other words, the ORDER details will be in the currency selected by the customer, but the PAYMENT received will be in the default currency.

Please note that the balance due shown is in the default currency (USD) and payments entered are presumed to also be in this currency. So when a payment is entered, the balance due will be in USD. The code previously posted does not appear to handle the balance due conversion correctly. Again I haven't tested this (so I am hoping that someone who is using this code with multiple currency support will chime in here), but if I am correct, it means that the balance due calculations will be incorrect if you support multiple currencies.

This is how the current Super Orders code deals with multiple currency orders when you apply a payment manually (or when credit card payments are auto-generated)

Sorry but there have been many modifications made a while ago and i can't remember all of them.

I see. Frankly I'm not sure how I can tell if my site accepts multiple currencies. (Where do I look)? I certainly hope not. (I operate on the KISS principal)! I do know that the £ is our default currency, Switch To Default Language Currency is set to false and Language selector is set to default.

Only a separate issue, I see you have tidied up the code that send out messages to customers. Does the payment received message actually go now? I currently get round that one by sending the message manually but it's a bit of a pain.

I understand when you have lots of modules installed that it may be tough to remember them all off the top of your head... But remember that I asked you THREE times about whether or not you had made modifications to THIS module. It took a NUMBER of posts before you FINALLY revealed that YES, Super Orders had indeed been modified (as I suspected it had been)..

It helps the rest of the community when we SHARE what we learn with the rest of the community.. For example IF your issue would have really been a bug with Super Orders, others would benefit from knowing that a bug existed, and more importantly how to resolve it.

In that spirit, it would be nice if you could SHARE with the community and confirm if the modifications you made to Super Orders are in fact from code posted on this forum?? If yes, it would be nice to know was it the same code posted here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=1116

AND

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=1117

This way we can confirm that there is indeed a possible (as yet untested/unconfirmed) issue if this code is used..

You would either have the currency sidebox or currency header box turned on so that your customers would be able to select an available currency..

I did tidy up the outbound message for order notes sent via the admin.. I also made notes which are not sent to the customer "admin notes" so they should no longer be viewable by the customer in the "My Account" area..

As for payment messages, these messages never sent out anything more than the updated order status upon payment receipt to my knowledge, and I didn't do anything to add to this..

Thank you very much DivaVocals, I appreciate that reply. I have the currency sidebox turned on at the moment - I think it can go. For trademark reasons which only trade within the EU. Most other members use the Euro with the exception of some of the newer eastern European members, but they must switch within a very few years of accession.

I love Super Orders 2.0 for it's functionality and ease when looking at my customer orders!

I was just wondering if it was possible to add a PayPal selection to the type of payment in the drop down menu. All my invoices show a balance due and I manually add the payment to each one but I just wanted the ease of adding "PayPal" if that is how my customer paid.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
