PDF Order Center

[Briann]

All orders will get updated, when a user chooses 'Process Selected Orders' when there is no selection made, yet.

The most recent version solves this issue.

About the other issue:

A simple CHMOD 777 should have done the job. I don't have a clue why this would happen. You could consider asking your hosting company, as this is probably related to the server settings.

So got it to work so I didn't get the 404 permission denied. The .htaccess file was updated to this (just in case someone else has this issue):

# deny *everything*
<FilesMatch ".*\..*">
  Order Allow,Deny
  Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

# but now allow just *certain* necessary files:
<FilesMatch "(^$|^favicon.ico$|.*\.(php|js|css|jpg|gif|png|pdf)$)">
  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow from all
</FilesMatch>

And it was working fine for about two days. Now I have new problem it has decided to stop printing the sold to address and the ship to address on my packing slips and invoices.

The labels still pull through the address but so some reason the packing slip and invoice don't.

This is driving me crazy I love the pdf order center I just want it to work. Please help!

[supersnow]

Hopefully someone can help - I love pdf order center and I really love the invoices & packingslips etc. The only thing between the pdf print working and not working is an update to super orders to 3.0. I do not have pdf order center and super orders integrated. So I am not sure what else would be interferring with the address printing.

But I don't like the super order invoice and packing slip printing I want to use PDF order center but I really need to tha the SOLD to and BILL to address to show up on the invoices and the packing slips.


As I said in my previous post the label print from PDFOC works but not the invoices or packing slips - weird!


Please help!

I do not have pdf order center and super orders integrated. So I am not sure what else would be interferring with the address printing.

I just wanted to weigh in here.. There is NOTHING in the Super Orders shop files or the install/uninstall/upgrade SQL files that would in anyway interfere with PDF Order Center.

These two modules are mutually exclusive. They do not share files and in fact (as the PDF Order Center readme states) they both can run together side by side.

Briann, if you find that these statements are not true with regards to Super Orders v3.0, please let me know where there might be conflicts between these two modules.

Super Order v3.0 sought to correct some long standing issues/buglets with Blindside's otherwise awesome Super Orders contirbution while adding a few new features. None of these changes would have affected how Super Orders v3.0 would work on a store running PDF Order Creator or vice versa..

I didn't think they did, I just let it be known that I have both installed just in case. But if you have any idea how I can fix the issue that would be great. I like some of the functions of super orders and the PDFOC too! I just want them to work!

I was looking at my cache log files and I found this:

[13-Jan-2011 01:12:22] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/---/public_html/admin/includes/languages/english/pdfoc.php:209) in /home/---/public_html/admin/includes/init_includes/init_templates.php on line 28

Hope this helps to find the problem and I am unsure what this means.

Since these modules do NOT share any common files it's unlikely that having both installed would cause any issues you are having with either one..

You reported this exact same error in the Super Orders thread, and I wanted to post this here as well.. Unfortunately just as I posted in my reply to you in the Super Orders support thread, the likely root cause of this error is because of another modification you have made in your store (inadvertently or intentionally).

It's POSSIBLE that this is related to your WordPress Integration issues. (the "headers already sent by" is a common WordPress error. This is particularly true if you are using the WOZ module which makes changes which could cause this error -- in which case you should try to track down the cause by posting your questions inthe WOZ support thread) Since I cannot see your store files I cannot say for sure what is cause of the errors you are getting..

I can say this for sure, it's likely that the error you are reporting "headers already sent by" is caused by something UNRELATED to PDF Order Center or Super Orders. These modules are not the cause of the issue, rather both of these modules are ILLUMINATING an issue whose source is elsewhere in your store.

Do a search in the forum for "headers already sent by" and you'll see this.

I did a Bing search and you can check out some of the threads on this error. Perhaps one of them contains the key to the source of the issue:

Thanks for this link to the tutorials the cache log file is not coming up - the issue was an extra line after the ?> on the admin/includes/languages/english/pdfoc.php file.

But it hasn't fixed the issue of the address showing on the invoices and packing slips.

By the way I took OFF the wordpress integration this removal allowed me to have super orders and ty tracker and other to work for the most part.

I know that PDFOC and super orders are separate but it is just odd that when I did the upgrade to super order 3.0 for the second time the PDFOC invoices and packing slips do not show the sold to and bill to addresses. Is it a coincidence or is super order doing something that makes the PDFOC not pull through the address?

This is simply a pure coincidence. Neither of these mods have files, classes, or functions. They have nothing in common. And the PDFOC readme even clearly states that both of theses modules can be run together..

For the record: PDFOC is not nearly as comprehensive as the Super Orders contribution from BlindSide (Frank Koehl). PDFOC began as a port of Batch Print Center from osCommerce to Zen Cart. Along the way I spiffed up the interface and gradually expanded it to take over all the functionality of the default Zen Cart orders.php page, and added in a couple of extra features. PDFOC is meant to complement Super Orders, as an alternative for folks who want to be able to batch-print PDF invoices, packing slips, etc. You can use both contributions in your store.

and so it's completely clear, Super Orders v3.0 is an update/revamping of Blindside's original Super Orders. NONE of the changes made for Super Orders v3.0 will affect PDFOC's functionality as they both remain SEPERATE modules..

Therefore, the Super Orders code would have NO affect on the functionality of PDF Order Center. You can confirm for yourself this by comapring the filesets of the two modules..

[supersnow]

Ok I understand. I was just concerned that maybe super orders had changed something in regards to how the billing and shipping address was used in the admin files and that was affecting the pdfOC as it was release before superorder 3.0 but if you are so certain that the super orders is not taking over the orders area on the zencart then I will look at other areas.

It is just very frustrating.

In regards to super order yes it is more comprehensive but we really like the ability to print the packing slip and the invoice in one batch and that the packing slip is exactly that a PACKING SLIP not a invoice renamed like the super order PDF packing slip. Also we like that fact that when we print the packing slips and invoices we can do it in one batch plus we can set the PDFOC to update the status in the same step.

With Super orders to achieve the same you would need to do the whole process in 3 steps - first so you can get a true invoice and a true packing slip with super orders you choose the orders, then click invoices, then print then click packing slips, then print then you have to go to the batch update do another search then choose the orders and update. Then you have to get all the orders and correlate the packing slips and invoices - all very time consuming. This wouldn't be a problem if I only had one or two orders in a day but we have a busy store so the super orders even though I like a number of its functions is still a bit time consuming.

Please don't get me wrong I like super orders and I like PDF OC that is why they are both on our store. I am just having so many issues at the moment since we upgraded that I am trying to fix one problem after another and I want to isolate the issues and the conflicts.

Thanks again for you help and I am sure that I will figure this out.
