This mod is essential for busy sites. Thanks to all the contributors.

@Design75 thanks for posting the link. I updated the mod's page in the plugins area to point to github.

Thanks am currently working on an update. See :https://github.com/Zen4All/Zen-Cart-SuperOrders

Thanks for doing this. If I recall correctly, the core files do need to be updated.

Super Orders worked with 1.5.5 but 1.5.6 seems to have completely broken it. Likely related to the fact that admin/includes/classes/order.php has been eliminated (now both admin and catalog use the admin side order object).

Yes it is not a small task. Order class changes, but also functionally that is now build in to the core, and changes in the pre integrated modules.
The next release will be about getting it to work, after that I am going to tryttr move stuff to notifiers.

Thanks for doing this. Super Orders does provide some very nice functionality.

May I know which superorders version is compatible with 1.5.5f?

I tried to install from DivaVocals' github and Zen4All's github (both master branch), neither shown installed successful notice on the top. Then I tried "feature/updates" branch from Zen4All's github, my admin page shown "illegal" then...

BTW I tried 4.0.9 from zen cart plugins page on my 1.5.6a, and it seemed fine. I had to use the original orders.php file (not from supoerorders). No installed successful notice neither.

I tried to update my website from 1.3.9h to a newer version (I know 1.3.9 is very old), and I installed superorders 3.02 on it. So my database (updated by zen cart installer) may already have some data from old superorders plugin.

I'm currently using php 5.6. Any help is appreciated.

Could you please check my last post? Thanks.

Super Orders has not been updated. There is no publicly available version which is compatible with newer Zen Carts.

*** UPDATE *** This should have said "compatible with Zen Cart 1.5.6 and forward."

I am using 1.5.5f with the last version from GitHub.
Since my hosting company finally went to PHP 7.2 the GitHub version has been working completely without issue in 1.5.5f

Yes - I meant to say that it doesn't work with 1.5.6 and forward. Still works with 1.5.5.

I installed SO on my migrated DB from 1.3.9 and found that while it works, I no longer have access to the configuration of SO. It was just not there. After studying the init file for a while I found that the auto install is looking for the configuration_group_ip of "Super Orders" and it seems that if it there it skips something. I tried deleting the id and it did created the menu entry but it only shows the version and wether the upgrade was completed. I would really appreciate any help you could provide.

Forgot to mention that I went from 1.3.9h with SO installed to 1.5.5f and tried to install 4.0.10

can you tell me from which Super Orders version you were upgrading? As I am unable to reproduce it at the moment

Forgot to mention that I went from 1.3.9h with SO installed to 1.5.5f and tried to install 4.0.10

My the version that was installed on the 1.3.9h cart was 3.0

I copied that db and ran the zc_install, which upgraded the files and db. The cart is now on 1.5.5f

I then downloaded a version of 4.0.10 and I encountered the issue. I then started digging for answers and found this on that github https://github.com/DivaVocals/zen_SuperOrders/issues/17 while he states that he fixed it and point to how. No details are given and I do not have the knowledge to figured it out.

You might know what he means.

Ok, i never used SO3, so I will see if I have some time during the weekend to setup a test environment> cooler0918:

I'm in the same situation as yours.

I'm thinking that maybe I should remove old SO completely from old zen cart at first (or at least database modification), then upgrade the zen cart then install the SO again. I found one removal sql file (uninstall_super_orders_prior_versions.sql) in the 3.0.2 installation zip file. I will try and let you know.

May I know which GitHub you downloaded latest SO? DivaVocal or Zen4All? Did you download it from the master branch also?
