Encrypted Master Password support

That would tell me the code is being put in the wrong location in the file or there's pieces missing, assuming it's a stock login/split login.

Have you tried with the EMP code in and toggling between split and regular login?

I've submitted v1.9.0 to the Plugins; this version enables your store to support multiple EMP-enabled admin profiles.

Now available ...

This add-on is absolutely great thanks.

Would it be possible to have the 'place order' button appear on the orders.php page too?

This would be really useful as when I'm helping an existing customer on the phone I often have to look at their old orders first and this would save a click or two.

All the best,

Craig

Craig, I've identified your request as a future enhancement to EMP.

Brilliant, thanks.

If you want me to test anything please let me know.

Will this plugin work with Super Orders? I'm thinking that the orders.php file required for Super Orders is overwritten which would most likely cause issues. Has anyone run into this before?

I've looked at the merge required for integration with Super Orders in the past and it's quite a chore:blink:, primarily in the addition of the Orders Status History changes. Without that merge, you lose the display of any "Updated By" status processing (like which admin placed an EMP order), but that's the only feature that you'd lose.

Craig, I've re-looked at this and believe that the functionality (quick way to look at customer's past orders) is already part of Zen Cart.

If you're on your admin's Customers->Orders screen, you'll see a (kind of washed-out) icon to the left of each customer's name. When you hover on the icon, the title-text reads "Preview Customers"; when you click the icon, you're taken to the Customers->Customers page with the associated customer's record highlighted. Clicking the "Orders" button in the right-hand pane then presents you with a list of the customer's previous orders.

I've just uploaded v2.0.0 to the Plugins area; it will be available for download once approved. This version is compatible with Zen Cart v1.5.0 through v1.5.3 and makes a change to the handling of the "Place Order" button. The button's click now takes the admin to the store-side login page, with the customer's email address pre-filled, but the admin must enter his/her password to continue.

Thanks lat9.

I did know of the little icon you can click on. It would just have been a little more convenient for me to have the 'place order' button on orders.php too as when I'm taking a phone order I usually stop on the orders page in the admin so I can see what the customer has ordered in the past and what options and addresses they used.

I'll see if I can test the latest release in a bit. Is there any particular reason to have to enter the admin password? Security/DSS I presume?

All the best.

Craig, my reluctance to make modifications to the orders.php file is that it seems like every admin-level plugin makes some small modification to that file. The admin password requirement for the "Place Order" button was due, in part, to security/DSS but also to make use of the improved password-handling changes (and login-page notifier structure) that are built into Zen Cart v1.5.3.

No worries.

All the best.

Craig

EMP v2.0.0 is now available for download in the Plugins area: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=94

In v2.0.0 readme, it says "/includes/init_includes/init_emp_login_link.php. Removed in v2.0.0 of this plugin." The file is in the build and will end up on the site unless the user manually deletes the file. I assume you do NOT want the file on the server?

Right, the file is present in the distribution simply to overwrite any pre-existing file of the same name; it can be safely deleted.

Using your updated version, how is TY Tracker supposed to work as a large section of code for the Tracker module is in the section you comment out starting on line 119 of admin/orders.php

The changes to the orders.php file are simply the "pull-in" from the "Orders-Status-Updated By" plugin; they're not necessary for EMP functionality so you could just use your TyPT version of orders.php (you just won't see the "Updated By" field, so you won't know if an order was placed by an EMP admin on a customer's behalf).

just installed this on 1.5.3 and everything works great, apart from order status history is blank when a admin makes an order for a customer.

did everything to the instructions, have you had this before?

thanks

Did you merge the plugin's version of /YOUR_ADMIN/orders.php with existing changes or did you do a straight copy of the plugin's version? Please post the contents of the myDEBUG log file that identifies the source of the issue, xxx-ing out the name of your admin folder.
