Hi Folks, I just tried to install super orders version 4.0.4 with no success!

I am currently running on ZC 1.5.0. which is upgraded from ZC 1.3.9h. In 1.3 version I had the supers order installed and was working just fine. When I upgraded to ZC 1.5.0 naturally it stopped working.

I carefully read and followed the instructions on the readme file. I renamed my admin folder name both in 1_Base_File folder and 2a_Modified_Core_file folder.

I did not installed 2b_Modified Core_Files-COWOA since I have not installed that add-on. To my knowledge I have not made any changes to invoice, orders or packingslip php files.

I logged into my admin prior to upload and once the upload was complete I went back to my admin page and clicked on configuration link and everything went away!

Now I can't even log into my admin site. I repeated upload twice and I am getting the same exact problem.

What am I doing wrong? I appreciate your help.

Thanks for reply Diva. I'll follow the recommendation in that tutorial.

Hello, I've just been playing with Super Orders in earnest. It's an absolutely magnificent mod, so thank you very much for creating it. My shipping team managed to find a few strange behaviours and I wonder if it would be possible to assist? As background, I'm based in Europe.

1. Foreign accented characters. Given our location we have a lot of users whose names contain unusual characters. Within the rest of Zencart, these are handled fine, but when I use the PDF invoice/packing slip/packing sheets the words are all garbled where there should be foreign accents (e.g. instead of é it shows up as é). As a workaround we can use non-batched packing slips for affected orders, but in the long term it would be brilliant if we could fix the issue. Is there somewhere I can specify an encoding for these files, or are PDFs a no-go for foreign words here?

2. Batch printing. Printing batch packing slips - again the PDF ones - will only print the first page before our printer gets upset and stops. In case this is a simple A4/US Letter paper standards issue, is there anywhere in the files where I should focus my tinkering to get it resolved?

3. Labels. I don't suppose anyone has any advice for setting these up? We just use standard postage labels (access to a label printer or a standard printer with sheets of labels) but if there's a good standard way of doing these which works nicely with ZC I'd love to be pointed in the right direction to make the process less manual. The answer to #1 or #2 might help me figure this out on my own.

Thank you!

I'm using 4.0.0.4 with ZC 1.5.1, other mods installed are just Monthly Sales/Tax Summary and the ePDQ payment mod (currently inactive).

Terribly sorry for the double post.

Note: I have Super Orders installed, though for the purpose of this post in particular I'm talking about the standard admin/invoice.php invoice.

I customised my invoice a little and all has been working well, until one particular customer placed an order. This customer has foreign (French) accented characters in their address and also an apostrophe. I'm not sure if this is the problem, but just in case...

From that invoice onwards, there are some strange problems on invoices generated by invoice.php

1. The order number used to say "Invoice - Order #100" on the printout. It now says "HEADER_INVOICE100".
2. The footer text which followed on directly from the comments is now at the top of each invoice.
3. The billing address now says "ENTRY_BILL_TO" at the top.
4. "Amount Applied: (GBP)" now says "ENTRY_AMOUNT_APPLIED_CUST ()"
5. "Balance Due: (GBP)" now says "ENTRY_BALANCE_DUE_CUST ()"

Everything else is normal. I've tried creating more orders using the same address as the one where things changed but it has no effect on the formatting.

I have tried overwriting invoice.php with the unmodified one from the Super Orders 4.0.0.4 installer, and the same happens, but if I overwrite it with the invoice.php from the ZC 1.5.1 full fileset installer the bug disappears. I've got around the problem very temporarily by hardcoding the labels into the Super Orders version of the file, but obviously this isn't ideal.

The batch invoices (non-PDF since I can't use the PDF versions for the reason in my previous post) are also affected in exactly the same way.

Hello,

I have Ty Package Tracker v3.1.2 Successfully installed on my shop running 1.5.0,

I'm attempting to install Edit Orders 4.0.3 and wish to install Super Orders 4.0.3 too,

The core edit files seem to get really conflicted, i tried merging with beyond compare but things didn't work out,

So which do i install first "Edit Orders" or "Super Orders"?

And what do i do with the 2 orders.php files?

I wish someone here could help

Does anyone have the 2 orders.php files merge and ready to use with all three mods 1. Ty Package Tracker v3.1.2 2. Edit Orders 4.0.3 3. Super Orders 4.0.3 ?

Thanks!

Honestly this is all explained in the Edit Orders readme in the "INTEGRATION WITH OTHER MODULES" (as well as the readme files for the other two mods).. the orders.php file begin referred to in the readme is the one in the admin folder. There si no merging you need to do to install all three if you follow the instructions in the readme..

Hello,

I followed all instruction however i have some issues:

1. i can't seem to set "Edit Orders Module Switch" to true, when trying to set it don't get radio buttons like the standard (maybe it belongs so?) only a field to type, and if i type "True" and click update it stays "False"

2. when i click "invoice" this is what i get.

3. And the main, I can't seem to find any sign of "Edit Orders" altogether!

It looks like i did something wrong but i can't figure what,

if you need any files to examine the problem just ask me here or by PM

Thanks in advance to all for your help, which is very much appreciated!

Also the note that it has been installed doesn't disappear!

Maybe this could help

What I did to FIX the problem with the banners, was renamed the files in my auto_loaders folder config.so.php, and that seemed to fix:

Is it ok to leave the config.so.php renamed once installed?

The app manages PayPal payments already.. Do you need a PayPal payment type for some other reason..

I was going through the orders placed prior to installing Super orders, and had some orders that were paid with paypal through an invoice i sent them, so the order was still not paid in zen card,

So i wanted t add payment, by clicking on Payment in the orders detail page, and apply the paypal payment to the order.

Hi Guys,

Good work on the plugin, IMO the best plugin for zencart out there full stop.

I just upgraded to the latest version and now I find my orders done with credit card are automatically having there payment processed as soon as the order comes through, which this did not used to occur in the older version. I use the Credit Card - Offline Processing module for my orders so this does not really work for me.

I had a little look in Super Orders admin settings and saw no obvious solution so can anybody help?

This is how Super Orders works.. No admin setting for this to turn it "off"

It didn't used to do this on the other versions...surely there is a way to prevent the payment from saying its been paid automatically!

The code that drives the auto-generation of a Super Orders payment record for credit card payments has worked THE SAME on all versions of Super Orders since v2.0. This includes the stores that used the old manual Zen Cart manual credit card payment module (deprecated for PCI reasons in the v1.5.x versions of Zen Cart), and the Ceon manual credit card add-on as well as Authorize.net, and Linkpoint (now FirstData/Linkpoint/YourPay API in v1.5.x). What DID change in v2.0 of Super Orders is support for the inclusion of cards in addition to Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.. (and in the readme I do talk a about how this particular code was improved again in v4.0 using code that Blindside himself planned to include)

I don't know how your Credit Card - Offline Processing add-on works, but if it calls the same classes as the credit modules I listed above, then THIS is why Super Orders auto-generates a Super Orders payment record for this module too.

That said there is a hint in the readme on how to resolve this for you.. I was a bit sleep deprived when I posted my response last night and forgot there is an important component in how the auto-payments for credit cards works... If you edit the Super Orders Payment Types in the store admin, you can simply remove the credit cards listed amongst the payment types that you no longer wish to have Super Orders payment records auto generated for you.

There is an important caveat though if you do this.. If you remove credit cards payment types (such as MasterCard, Visa, American Express), AND you use a payment module like Authorize.net or Linkpoint (now FirstData/Linkpoint/YourPay API in v1.5.x) to receive credit card payments, Super Orders will no longer auto-generate payments for orders made using these payment modules.

Thanks for your reply, I thought I may of hit on the head but no luck! I adjusted all the payment methods that I use and even edited the names and codes of all the payment methods that were coming through automatically and removed ones that were no need to me but still, super orders makes the automatic payment.

I have no need at all for automatic payments, is the code simple enough to comment out to prevent this from happening?

I'm doing a new install with Zen 1.5.1, edit orders, Ty, Super Orders and a few other items - all current versions.

We have a number of staff who will interact with the Admin side, and I'm trying to get the "Restrictions" and Authorizations right for supplementary Administrators.

I've added a profile for "OrderManagement", and I want them to be able to process orders. And all that is involved with that.

So I've given access to all the functions under "Customers" which includes the various printing and status change functions,
and most seems to work.

As well the reports are allowed, and a couple of the Tools, as well as Gift Certificates and Coupons.

What Doesn't work, Nor is there a check-box for it in the profile is "super_payments" - It pops up a supplementary window with:

Sorry, your security clearance does not allow you to access this resource.
Please contact your site administrator if you believe this to be incorrect.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

I'm the administrator, and I'm confused! I can do it as the full administrator, just not the permissions above!

Which check-box am I missing? Or is the authorization screen missing a box?

Thanks!

Dan

I can't seem to edit the hidden (admin) comments. The pop-up box for editing provides no additional field to add the comments to. The pop-up box simply has no editing area. Here is a screen shot of the pop-up box.

I am using:
Zen-Cart 1.5.1 with the lastest and PHP server and MySQL settings. I was hoping you might be able to recommend what I might need to fix.

Thank you!
