Admin Simple Create Order [Support Thread]

[DivaVocals]

This is actually the WRONG way to fix this error.. The reason for the error is that create_orders.php is making a call to a function that does not exist.. (Hence why it states " Call to undefined function")

You NEED to create the function file I posted instructions for last night so that this function is correctly defined, and UNCOMMENT this line.

While it LOOKS like it's working with this line commented out, create_orders.php is actually not creating your orders correctly and you will see that the product line totals will not display or calculate correctly. The ORDER totals will appear fine, but your product line totals will not.. This function will make sure the currency symbol is inserted into the database for the order so that the product totals appear correctly on your order..

According to the debugger this shows in it

[27-Nov-2010 20:50:23] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function zen_get_currency_value() in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/xxxxxx/create_order.php on line 84

Seems commenting this out around line 72 did the trick, finally

Edit code below

'currency_value' => zen_get_currency_value(DEFAULT_CURRENCY),

to

//'currency_value' => zen_get_currency_value(DEFAULT_CURRENCY),

The shipping table disappeared too just seems the mod needs some major work all we really wanted was the create order part without the edit orders and create customer which are usuless to us as the Add Customer module from the downloads still works without flaws, super orders takes care of the editing

So basically the Create Order only function is what we are looking for it works with what we have installed of this mod with Super Orders so I KNOW that is not an issue it picks up the order just like if it was from the customer side of the store

I am willing to donate for the mod but until it works properly guess that will be put on hold for now

I cannot waste to much time on something we can manually create from the customer side of the store by using the alternative method Login As A Customer mod which works without flaws.

When the Shipping Table from the Create Order page was removed this kind of got boring if you know what I mean. Thanks for your help though guess I will wait until you release yours if ever.

Unless I get bored and go at it again which I probably will

I tried this before commenting that line out it made no difference I tried every thing this thread said including from that blog all the same results from a fresh store and a modified store. All ended up in the same result. Fixed one thing and another thing was removed lol

I was jsut messing around and got this on another weird result here is something even crazier Add New Product to an exisiting order in Super order page works without flaws except the shipping table part

This is new turn of events I guess see screenshot just does not make since lol

I think I made it clear in ALL of my earlier posts that installing the new version of Edit Orders and creating the required functions file will solve the immediate issues folks were having (being re-directed to the admin home page and the blank page or function errors displayed).

I think I also made it clear that the shipping rate tables (which never worked correctly) and the confirmation e-mails (which also never worked correctly and could be replaced with the orders comments functions) would no longer be available. What would be left is the SIMPLE ability to CREATE an order.

Let me re-post some of what I wrote earlier.. because it's relevant to what you just posted..

... let me further clarify something else that even the original author of this mod kinda left a little unclear.. SUPER ORDERS is simply the default orders.php on steroids. It (Super Orders) was NEVER intended to be what Create Orders is or even what Edit Orders (v2.xx at least) has become.

This "add-on" simply takes two existing add-ons (Edit Orders and Add Customers from Admin) and allows them to be used together to "create" orders from the Zen Cart admin.

If you read over my previous posts you'll see I did a fair amount of work testing this mod..

The ONLY thing Create Orders "adds" to either of these add-ons (Edit Orders and Add Customers from Admin) is:

• A method to create an order that can then be "edited" using Edit Orders
• A shipping rate table display is added to the Edit Orders page (which doesn't work for all shipping methods as noted in my previous posts)
• A means to send out an e-mail which is supposed to look like the normal order confirmation e-mail has been added to Edit Orders. (which also doesn't work correctly as I have documented in previous posts)

I have documented all the issues I found with the shipping rate table (doesn't work for all rates), and the confirmation e-mail (inconsistent sending behavior, and the formatting is WRONG)

In a nutshell if you want Create Orders to work AND you can live without the shipping rate table AND you can live without the confirmation e-mail functions (the comments feature will work just fine in it's place), AND you understand that there is a bug with the way it grabs the customers state data also documented in my previous posts), then simply install the latest version of Edit Orders (v2.04 link posted above) and all will be right with the world..

I've got Create Orders working with Edit Orders 2.xx, and frankly if I am "creating" an order from the admin, I can live with manually entering in the state for those orders/customers which require it..

The name of this add-on is Admin SIMPLE Create Orders.. This title amply describes what I have working on my test store.. a SIMPLE order creation method. So I'll let someone else have a go with building out the rest of this nightmarish add-on with all those other bells and whistles (shipping rates, order confirmation e-mails, etc..) I'll steer clear of that and minimize the amount of grey hair I have on my head thank you very much..

I'll probably bundle up my working version of this add-on and submit it to the downloads..

It won't have the bells and whistles in it (shipping rates, order confirmation e-mails, etc..), but IMHO what is currently available right now is only half functioning anyway. AND there are adequate "workarounds" for those bells and whistles.. (shipping rates can be looked up and the existing comments features will work JUST FINE for customer order notification)

IMHO... an add-on which at least serves the basic intent of this add-on is better than one that contains features which are buggy and/or do not work well..

==========================

I tried this before commenting that line out it made no difference I tried every thing this thread said including from that blog all the same results from a fresh store and a modified store. All ended up in the same result. Fixed one thing and another thing was removed lol

Then something is wrong with your function file, and without seeing your site files I can't say what.. Also if you added this function to the edit_orders.php function (as one post in this thread suggested) AND also created a the separate function file for Create Orders as I suggested, then this might create some issues.. Again, without seeing your site files, I cannot see what it is you have done and what exactly is causing the issues you are describing.

That said, I do know that commenting out that line prevents Create Orders from including the currency, and currency_value data in the orders table. Without these values in the orders table, while you can indeed add products to your newly created order, the product line total will display incorrectly. (they will show either 0.00 or no dollar value at all)

I was jsut messing around and got this on another weird result here is something even crazier Add New Product to an exisiting order in Super order page works without flaws except the shipping table part

This is new turn of events I guess see screenshot just does not make since lol

Order edit features in Super Orders are NOT flawless at all.. There are issues with adding products with attributes, tax issues, etc.. It's one of the most frequently asked/complained about feature in Super Orders, and why there have been NUMEROUS discussions on the Super Orders support thread about Edit Orders/Super Orders integration..

The upcoming release of Super Orders deprecates ALL of these old editing functions as they are based on a MUCH older version of Edit Orders. Later versions of Edit Orders actually has better order editing features. So to continue to provide order editing functionality for those who need/want order editing, an integration option for Edit Orders is what will be included in the upcoming Super Orders fileset. This will provide MUCH better order Editing than what's currently available in Super Orders. (If you want to discuss Super Orders further, it's best to take THAT part of this discussion over to the Super Orders thread and not hijack this one with an off-topic discussion)

Ummm this is not coming from Super Orders. My guess is that you've installed Edit Orders v1.55. From their changelog:

9. Prevented deleting of orders with 0 products.
If the order has to be deleted this can be done on the orders page.
For this the installation instructions changed and a new button was added.
If the order has zero products the button changes from 'edit' to 'add product' and then takes you to the
add product page instead of the edit page.

I am not trying to hijacking anything and secondly this mod needs more work before it is worth using all the manual entering shipping rates makes the alternative more simple solution. I do not recommend anyone with very little knowledge use this mod

I am sure you have a lot of time in it and most of us will probably wait till you lease your version to see what it is like. But like I said before in other words it is a shame such a good feature to be pretty much abandoned.

I was hoping for an easy fix since it isn't going to happen the alternatives will work for now.

Thanks for your time on the matter

Wasn't trying to suggest that you were.. I merely suggested that if this discussion is going to veer off into a Super Orders discussion that the support thread for Super Orders might be a better place to do that.. 'tis all.. Didn't imply ANYTHING else in my earlier statement..

Ithis mod needs more work before it is worth using all the manual entering shipping rates makes the alternative more simple solution.

Perhaps it's not what YOU need/want, but based on my PMs others in the community are interested in this solution even if the shipping rates table is not included.. (and I've been CLEAR that if I submit what I have working that the shipping rates tables will not be included.. if I find time to add this functionality back I will.. or maybe someone else will come along and do it..)

It's not a PERFECT solution, but IMHO neither is a mod with HALF working features as this mod sits today. The rate tables are a very nice feature to be sure, but the exclusion of them does NOT stop this mod from functioning as it's intended to. The basic functionality of being able to create an order is there even if the shipping rate tables are not.. The shipping rates tables and the customer e-mails DO NOT work well in the versions of this mod currently available.. Not all store owners are okay with partially working mods..

And YES there are other solutions for creating orders from the admin side.. Login As Customer is indeed one of those options.. However, there are store owners who like this mod and have no issue with there not being a shipping rate table included. (versus using a half working rate table)

I do not recommend anyone with very little knowledge use this mod

And I respectfully have to disagree.. For those who want to get this working it's a simple four step matter

1. Install this mod from Ivan's blog
2. Install Edit Orders v2.04 and replace the Edit Orders files which come with this mod
3. Install Add Customers from Admin v1.07 and replace the Add Customers from Admin which come with this mod
4. Create the create_orders_functions.php

That should get anyone a working version of Create Orders (MINUS the half working shipping rate tables and the half working customer notification e-mail)

I am sure you have a lot of time in it and most of us will probably wait till you lease your version to see what it is like. But like I said before in other words it is a shame such a good feature to be pretty much abandoned.

I was hoping for an easy fix since it isn't going to happen the alternatives will work for now.

If I release the version I have (and I probably will as soon as my time permits..) it will be WITHOUT the rates tables and WITHOUT the e-mail notifications. Neither is an easy fix and as I have stated a few times in this thread, both fixes are a little over my head to address.. So hopefully in this open source community, someone else will along, take an interest in this mod, and take a stab at adding it back. Hopefully they will address the current issues with the rates table so that it CORRECTLY grabs rates for ALL active shipping modules.

I am assuming the tables were removed from the edit_orders.php files correct? If so I will have a guy I know hit it up and see if it can be added back properly, just making sure I am sending him in the right direction.
