Tracking Link for package - How do you place it customer's Account?

I ship about 20 orders a day, using PayPal's shipping.

It gives me tracking numbers right away.

Question:

1. How can I place the tracking number AS A LINK in customer's account?

<a href> doesn't work in customers account.

2. Is there an automatic way to import tracking numbers from paypal and place them in respective customers' accounts?

You can copy the tracking number into the shipping company(ups, dhl, usps) box on the order page and it will give it as a link to the customer in email and in My Account.

BUT, it puts a separate side-box, on all pages. T

I want to place a link within, Lets say, comments of a specific order,

and not from a side-box as all that info is already display to a customer in their accounts.

Nope, it HAS a sidebox option, BUT it also has:

-Customer can track their orders from the sidebox or from the "My Account" page. If customer click on the link, it will display the order information and tracking number (if any).

:)

I made that same mistake months ago when adding it.

Thanks DB,

You saved me a week of messing with the code.

Change #1: (highly recommended - Making this change will allow your customer to track packages from the "My account" Page.)
define('FILENAME_ACCOUNT_HISTORY_INFO', 'account_history_info'); to
define('FILENAME_ACCOUNT_HISTORY_INFO', 'tracker');

I am still looking for a way to import tracking numbers from PayPal and have them automatically inserted into "My Account".

I did the same mistake. I never checked that it actually worked, until I started getting emails from people of why they can not check their status from my account(even though I said on my website you could). Always reading the readme is good :)

I have not seen a solution to your problem. To this date I still place the tracking number manually, but I have it update the delivery status as delivered automatically.
