Super Orders v3.0 Support Thread (for ZC v1.3.9)

ScriptJunkie:

Hi Diva,

I have a question about customizing PDF packing slips.

I'm aware that I can change the default logo to my own logo through the SO config in admin...however, it advises to keep images to a specific size for best output. I prefer to use a banner logo, plus that gigantic font "Packing Slip" text just bugs me.
Go into <admin folder>/includes/functions/extra_functions/lcsd_merged_packing_slips.php and find around line 73:```php
if(LCSD_SHOW_SHIPPING_LABEL == 'False'){
$this->SetFont('Arial','B', 28);
$this->SetXY(350, 85);
$this->MultiCell(270, 24, 'Packing Slip');
}

You can remove the B for bold (empty will be fine) and adjust 28 to something smaller for the fontsize.

All the other lines regarding the logo and the rest of the text is in that file as well, it is -more or less- hardcoded into this file instead of adjustable in the admin. You could volunteer and make it with adjustable variables for the next version :cool:

Thanks nagel!

I have no problem volunteering to do that work, I just have no clue how to do that :smile:

nagelkruid:

Ouch, not even when you select 2 or more orders and hit the print button? I may have bumped in the old "error behind keyboard" then, grmblll...:lamo:Nope not ever..

What I really want to do is get into the header portion of the PDF and take out all the space holders, pre-existing text, and white space and replace it with a banner logo.

The problem is that because it renders in the browser as a PDF, I'm unable to identify which file to edit.

Can you point me in the right direction?
Gonna say what I have said everytime someone has asked me about customizing the PDF packingslips..

It is somewhat of a PITA to modify them if you want to do anything drastically different than how they are setup..

Is this code customizable?? Yes.. But unless it's a SLIGHT variation to the current layout, it becomes a PITA to do..

nagelkruid:

$this->SetXY(350, 85);
$this->MultiCell(270, 24, 'Packing Slip');
}

Yes you certainly can modify the header section of the packing slip to your liking.. Keep in mind though that if you modify the header section of the PDF packingslip, you will want to make sure that you don't get errors because of this missing admin control.. Meaning you MAY need to run a small bit of SQL to remove the admin control from the Super Order admin..

You could volunteer and make it with  adjustable variables for the next version :cool:Well like everything in open source, it's usually something developed for a specific client (who does not need admin controls since the PDF will be constructed to theri specifications), and the developer was gracious enough to share it with the community (as was the case here)..  However, if  "someone" (hint hint) wants to take a whack at adding more admin controls, I welcome the improvement..:smile:

have to agree, all warnings apply, that and a good backup of the file off course.

Done! Woot :clap:

All my changes were made by editing admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/lcsd_merged_packing_slips.php as follows:

• Changed image size params on lines 46 and 47 to allow for a larger image
• Adjusted the coordinates on line 57 to center the image
• Deleted all code from lines 60 through 99
• Adjusted the coordinates on lines 101 and 102 to get rid of all the extra white space in the header

End result: Page layout is the way I want it (banner logo centered across the top of the page), unwanted text and extra white space gone.

Naturally, this means I no longer have the option to include a shipping label or store name and address in the header, but that's ok because I didn't need any of that anyway.

no problem, you are hired and it is noted it will take a bit longer, congrats :smartalec:

Seriously, I have no idea how to do this. You mentioned adjustable variables...I don't even know what those are :blush:
I assume I'd have to know how to read and write in PHP, as well as understand the relationship between the files that create switches and options in the admin, and files that output the results of flipping those switches and changing those options.

LOL I'm still trying to figure out how to clone and modify a mod that only has two files in it (and one of them is a language file!).

I really don't think I'm the right person for this job :blink:

good for you! (and for the rest i was just kidding lol) you should be a shop owner trying to sell stuff, not trying to be a programmer at the same time, programming a website, imho

nagelkruid:

Whew! That's a relief! :cool:

A new issue. When using super orders, adding the payment to the order there is a "total", and "Amount applied" and a "Balance due" field. Now it looks like it does not matter what the currency is in - I use 3 different currencies in the shop - the amount applied has to be in the default curency.

Previous version displayed this correctly - the total was in USD - not it is all mixed and matched. See the attached picture.

How can this be fixed?

Also I posted a note 2 pages before which seem to have been overlooked:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=990392&postcount=186

1. Earlier in the thread, I noticed some people getting blank admin pages when installing SO 3.0 because of the "lcsd_merged_packing_slips.php" error.
   I got this same error, so I deleted the file, then installed Edit Order and Ty Tracker, then re-uploaded lcsd_merged_packing_slips.php and everything worked fine. Just FYI. I want to say it worked after installing Edit Orders, but I can't remember which one I installed first :)

2. I'm from California and I have my own little mod for sales taxes. The sales tax is located in it's own table.....so could you possibly tell me which SO file calls the db tax rate so I can adjust it for myself? I would greatly appreciate it.
   I've tried looking on my own but I'm getting a headache looking for a needle in a haystack :)

Excellent work here. :D

Has anyone had experience of this situation; Super Orders 3 & Edit Orders 3 latest versions. Functionality fine. But Batch Status Print & Batch Status Update on the live site only, are wider than the screen. See images.

As a workaround I can zoom out, but I cannot account for why this would happen. Older versions of the contribution did not do this.

I would be grateful for any guidance or suggestions as to where to start looking

Thank you Centec2b

The following code adds a Totals Row to \admin\super_packingslip.php (Lines 184-277), which gives an easy scan of Total Qty vs Total Products.

In my arrangement, I also swapped the model and product columns, and made other minor adjustments.

I have not tested this code with split orders. If anyone can improve, please post.

Is it possible to remove the product image from the packing slip?

Thanks!

Thanks!
This is clearly explained in the Super Orders readme file.. (Configure & Features tab -- I even included a nice screenprint..:wink:)

From the changelog in the Super Orders readme (lists v3.0 features)

Change Log

v3.0

• Clean up and reorganize the readme file (again!!!)

• MANY misc bug fixes and corrections

• Overall cleanup of the files to remove deprecated and unused code

• Countries now included as search option in "Batch Form Printing" and "Batch Status Updating"

• The "Edit Status History" feature has been restored and the functionality modified. Editing of order comments is now limited to hidden "admin only" comments. Additionally in previous versions of Super Orders the "Edit Status History" feature inserted HTML and ASCII line breaks into the database, and this ugly line break code was displayed when the customer viewed their order history from "Status History & Comments". This particular problem goes back to 2006, and has now been FULLY resolved/addressed.

• Customer comments modified to incorporate the latest Zen Cart 1.3.9 functionality/format

• Packing slip images are now a simple on/off admin configurable option.

• Batch print functionality has been expanded to include PDF invoices!! Options for the invoices are admin configurable

• Split orders has been improved to help shopowners easily reconcile a split order. Creates a parent and child order. Paid split orders will display the grand total paid for both parent and child order. For orders paid via PayPal, Authorize.net or Linkpoint, the admin payment panel will not display on the child order.

• Order total and customer address edit features have been removed in their entirety. (use Edit Orders if you need order/customer address editing functionality)

• Added missing shortcut icons on the orders listing screen. Now there is a corresponding shortcut icon on each order line that matches the buttons that appear in the sidebox.

• Restoration of missing default Zen Cart orders.php functionality. This now allows payment processor generated (PayPal, Authorize.net or Linkpoint) refunds to now be processed within Super Orders. (no longer requires the retention of the default orders.php to process PayPal, Authorize.net or Linkpoint refunds)

• AUTO PAYMENT FOR ORDERS PAID VIA PAYPAL!!!!!!! 'Nuff said...

• Improved graphics and buttons to SPRUCE UP the Super Orders UI

• If you have Edit Orders v3.0 installed, you can enable Edit Order in the Super Orders admin to enable Edit Orders buttons in Super Orders (No Super Orders code merging required.. Simply install Edit Orders and "turn on" Edit Orders in the Super Orders admin!!)

• If you have Ty Package Tracker v3.0 installed, you can enable the Ty Package Tracker fields for Super Orders (No Super Orders code merging required..) Simply install Ty Package Tracker and "turn on" Super Orders from the Ty Package Tracker admin!!)

• If you have USPS Click-N-Ship installed, you can enable USPS Click-N-Ship in the Super Orders admin to enable USPS Click-N-Ship fields/buttons in Super Orders (No Super Orders code merging required.. Simply install USPS Click-N-Ship and "turn on" USPS Click-N-Ship in the Super Orders admin!!)

• If you have FedEx Automated Labels installed, you can enable FedEx Automated Labels in the Super Orders admin to enable FedEx Automated Labels buttons in Super Orders (No Super Orders code merging required.. Simply install FedEx Automated Labels and "turn on" FedEx Automated Labels in the Super Orders admin!!)

Forgive me if this has already been answered, I have read through tons of the help forums and cant seem to find an answer.
I am in need of a mod to help me create orders as well.

I have this mod installed (love it) and edit orders, and the ty tracking mod too.

Super orders does not that I can find, have the ability to create an order. I tried to use the create order mod but cant seem to get it to mesh with super orders and edit orders. Is there something I can do to have create order capability with super orders? Your help would be very much appreciated.

Creating orders is not the intent of Super Orders at all.. (see http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=970744&postcount=77
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=984176&postcount=83 -- this same information is posted in the readme as well) Super Orders is simply a "pimped out":laugh: version of the default Zen Cart orders.php.

Any detailed discussion of manual order creation processes is off topic for this support thread.. These threads might provide more insight though on how a manual order process could be implemented using Super Orders and a number of other modules..

manual orders or create orders using Super Orders - manually creating orders - create orders from admin - phone orders

I am currently using the PO mod rather than the Super Orders PO option at checkout so customers can enter the PO # then. How difficult would it be to either 1) modify the PO option for Super Orders to allow the customer to enter their PO # at checkout, or 2) have the Purchase Order mod post the collected PO # into the field Super Orders uses for the PO #?

So it's likely that it's doable.. The level of effort needed to achieve this is what is unknown. I have not taken a look at the PO mod to analyze what would be required to meet your needs..

Thanks for the reply. My gut reaction was that it would be easier to use the Super Orders PO option and add an entry field at checkout by implementing the appropriate code there from super_payments.php. I just can't seem to quite wrap my head around it though.
