OLD Super Orders 2.0 (See v3.0 thread instead)

dw08gm:

Another mod to consider is COWOA, although JTHeed seems to have already taken this into account.We already took a look at this and decided to NOT include any built-in integration for these two mods.. But COWOA and FEC users still get a special treat in the new Super Orders..:smile: In the absence of the same integration flags we used for other mods, we have provided properly merged Super Orders files for users of FEC or COWOA in the Super Orders fileset.

In our analysis of the COWOA we discovered that it and FEC share FAR too much common code to make the current method we use to turn mods on/off in Super Orders feasible for these mods (COWOA and FEC) at the moment.. It would require a GREAT deal of work on our parts.. and we thought our efforts were better spent on the other things we wanted to implement in Super Orders -- hence why we are at LEAST providing the properly modded files needed for BOTH COWOA and FEC.

FYI, the Super Orders files you got from JTheed are VERY different than the ones which will be included in the upcoming release.. The ones on JTheeds site are from a MUCH earlier RC of Super Orders. You'll WANT to upgrade..:smile:

dw08gm:

While I keenly await the SO3 release, the only other mod I require to finish my store is Events Calendar, which is in dire need of improvement. Nudge nudge wink wink.:laugh: Yeah.. well.. I have a site in development now where the Events Calendar mod might be needed.. Dunno if I'll pick up the torch on that one.. I'm happy to watch!!:laugh:

Not for nothing.. but did you read the links I posted?? I believe that they BOTH answer your question.. If not tell me what was not clear..:smile:

yes I read them, sorry not trying to sound rude or ignorant but now that I read back my posts I kind of do :blush:
I can host the files from now till approval from the zen cart team if wanted, PM me if so and we can discuss it.

correct me if I'm wrong but so far edit orders works with and is integrated into super orders, but COWOA is yet to come with the next upgrade that's due to be down loadable soon.
how about dual pricing?

bump as I edited my last post

KezzaThanks, but no..:smile: I can host them in the free Zen Cart downloads section on my site if needed..

I wanted to WAIT and see if the admins will have this approved by this weekend. I submitted FIVE mod updates this weekend, and it's the holiday's. So while the admins do a fantastic job and try to turn things around within a few days to a week, it's possible that they are understandably busy this time of the year.

So IF it looks like things might take a little longer I will make v3.0 TEMPORARILY available on my site..

AND as I always do.. I will post an update HERE for the community.. Thanks for your patience and understanding..

KezzaShort answer NOPE..

Look we could have spent a LOT of time trying to throw in everything but the kitchen sink into Super Orders.. Ultimately we selected mods that are by and large MORE likely to be used by a large majority of Zen Cart shopowners. (which is why shipping modules and shopping cart modules were selected)

Edit Orders has been a much asked about and sought after integration point, and it made sense that support for Edit Orders should be included since previous version of Super Orders included order editing features which were ported over from early versions of Edit Orders.

I'm sure that folks have ALL KINDS of suggestion son modules we could have included, but we very much want Super Orders to support a wider variety of shopowners with** common **order management functions.

**Edited to add: **Just took a fast look at the Dual Pricing files.. As Dual Pricing makes NO edits to the admin.. How would one go about including Super Orders integration???

Sorry I worded that wrong, does anyone know if dual pricing overwrites any super orders files, and if it does have any premerged files been made available.

Kezza:

Sorry I worded that wrong, does anyone know if dual pricing overwrites any super orders files, and if it does have any premerged files been made available.You could always download both modules and using a file merging program compare the files needed for both modules to see this for yourself.. (I doubt they share any files)

Is it soup yet??? Why yes kids it is..:laugh: For those who've asked, Super Orders 3.0 is now available for your viewing enjoyment..

Dunno yet if there will be a new support thread for v3.0 (I am hoping so.. wanna make sure I ask the admins BEFORE just doing it all willy nilly).. I will of course post here if this happens..

Lastly I want to ask a SMALL favor.. When posting bugs/issues it's a WHOLE LOT more helpful to resolve if you post details. Just saying "it's broken" does not provide nearly enough information to help you resolve your issue. Please provide as MUCH information as possible including the version of Zen Cart you are running, the version of the module you are running, any other add-ons you may have also installed, and hosting/server information (PHP versions, mySQL versions, etc)

Because folks like nohart did this we were able to FINALLY figure out WHY direct credit card and PayPal refunds worked from the default orders.php, but NOT from super_orders.php. As a result this is FIXED in v3.0..:clap:

Anyway.. carry on.. Enjoy the new version..

(cue "At Last" by Etta James)

Super Orders 3.0 is READY for release.. I am just doing one last quality check, and I will have this all packaged up and submitted tomorrow night..

BIG HUGE thanks to my co-contributors JTheed and TNiemann.

BIG GINORMOUS thanks to our super eagle eyed beta tester TonyBenedetti for finding all those very small and very BIG gotchas!!!

Change Log - v3.0 Rev 1

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

Let me stress something here so that it's CLEAR.. With regards to the mod integration: You are NOT required to install ANY of Edit Orders, Ty Package Tracker, FedEx Automated Labels or USPS Click-N Ship to use Super Orders..

BUT...

If you are running any of these mods, you don't have to tear your hair out trying to get the correct Super Orders code merged into the Super Orders files to use these mods.. Install them as normal and TURN IT ON in the Super Orders admin (Ty Package Tracker will need to be turned on in the Ty Package Tracker admin)

In support of this new release there are updates to Edit Order and Ty Package Tracker that will also be submitted to the downloads.. (See the Ty Package Tracker and Edit Orders respective support threads tomorrow for details on those updates -- PLEASE do not ask non Super Orders related questions here..:smile:)

Lastly we are also supplying the properly merged files need for those running FEC and COWOA. (no admin flags for these mods.. simply use the provided pre-merged files for these mods)

Okay that's it.. Gotta turn in for the night.. Will post as soon as this new version has been submitted to the downloads section, and again when it is available in the downloads section..

what version of COWOA did you put into super orders, one of the reasons i'm asking is that there is a lot of cowoa code missing from includes>classes>order.php.
is it handled differently in super orders?
