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

fricy:

I zipped here the files I edited for INFO-at-Glance to work.
These work for me for:

Zen Cart 1.3.5 0904 release
INFO-at-Glance 1.5
Super Orders 2.0 rev45
Sweet! I'll look and see if I can migrate this into the source.

And I also have a leetle problem: :no:
super_edit.php just loads an empty popup for me. No content, nothing. Tried to reupload, but nothing happens. Otherwise, all seems fine. Anyone had same?
Are you uploading the language file where the actual script should be? I do that all the time when I'm working on new stuff. Upload a language file; make changes to the script; upload language over script because I forgot to change directories. :blink:

Also glad you know what a PO is now. If you don't need them for your business, be thankful. They are a huge pain in the rump, in terms of necessary time and effort. :no:

Great to see this mod is still maintained and upgraded.

I have not upgrade yet from 1.3, as I absolutely need the order editing feature. In the previous version, JeffD released some changes ( http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=225815&postcount=54 ) that allowed to use the order editor, and even to add products to an order.

Is there something available for the 2.0 version? For me, this it really the most important feature I need for my shop, so I will need to stick to 1.3 if it is not possible to do it on 2.0...

Thanks,

sanji

BlindSide is outstanding :-)

Love the new super orders, however i have some questions.

The first one is, why are my paypal customers shows as a balance due? do i have to manualy add a payment showing that they paid with paypal?

secondly, when someone uses our merchant, do they also show as balance due?

I'm installing this on 1.3.5 now and so far I haven't run into many problems. I'll have to see how it works once it's all running.

Fresh 1.3.5 install shows no issues, works very well.

I did notice that the 'Point order at a different customer' feature doesn't work. No adjustment is made when opting to move the order to a new customer. Anyone else noted this issue?

Found a snippet of code pointing to the admin directory for product images on the packing slip.

edit: admin/super_packingslip.php

' . zen_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_IMAGES . $products->fields['products_image'] , $order->products[$i]['name'], SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT, SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH) . '

Replaced with:

' . zen_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES . $products->fields['products_image'] , $order->products[$i]['name'], SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT, SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH) . '

I'm confused. I thought i remember using the old SO to edit products in my customers cart, as in the actual product could be added or changed.

Now the Edit products link just offers checkboxes and a submit button.. But doesn't tell you that it means DELETE! EEEp! bug it! Unfortunately I learned the hardway.

Anyway, shouldn't there be some other editable option as well as telling people that you will be deleting products when you edit them?

See higher up in this thread. Not in this version.

BlindSide:

.......Nearly everything about an order is editable...except for the products themselves. I held off delibrately because product setups are sooo complicated, and they are going to change again once the team introduces SKU and qty-by-attribute features. Since I can do all the order editing I need directly from the database, I'm content to wait till then.......

Ok, love the mod.

One change that I made. I currently do not have a Fax for my business, so there is no reason for me to have an empty fax on my invoice.

I changed line 89-90 on super_invoice.php to this.
<td class="invoiceHeading" align="left" valign="top"><?php if (STORE_FAX != ''){echo HEADER_FAX;} ?></td>
<td class="invoiceHeading" align="left" valign="top"><?php if (STORE_FAX != ''){echo STORE_FAX;} ?></td>

so that if down the road I add a fax, and fill the info in the admin, that the information will then automatically show on my invoices, but for now, it doesnt.

That last suggestion (good one) contains <td> tags...

People should realize and keep in mind that the default template system of zen is strongly and swiftly moving away from tables, and encouraging the much better system of using <div> tags and css to format/position them. It'll be helpful in this effort if contributions followed suite.

I agree <div> is the way to go, but the problem is its just not controlled enough, sometimes you need a hardened way of doing things. Perhaps if w3 starts supporting align again, as well as width, height, and borders, but then that would defeat the purpose.

I'm not sure what you mean by "controlled". You are offered a VASTLY superior array of tools for formatting and positioning with css versus standard html.

The only "good" reason to resist (it is futile though) is being too lazy to learn :) CSS is very tricky for the uninitiated and it isn't an enviable position to have to learn it suddenly. Learn it well I mean. It is worth the effort though, in my opinion... and as the platform continues to migrate that way, laggers only cause themselves more headaches later by not adopting sooner.

I agree that it is EASIER to do things in tables most of the time, but it is by no means required. My entire site (well, the new one that isn't published yet) doesn't contain a single <table> <tr> or <td> tag. My biggest problem is re-writing contrib code to conform.

As I've done it, I've written the authors suggesting they adopt and handing them the code on a platter... the same will apply here if I ever get around to installing this contrib. I'm ahead of myself here though... I haven't even looked at the SO code to see if any of the above applies :)

So I'll shut up now.

i don't know if it really matters though.. since thats what goes on the invoice.. so its all admin side. if the store owner and other employees aren't having a problem with it.. i don't think it would really matter :)

for the catalog side though, i agree with everything s_mack says :)

Lol... I didn't even think about it being on the admin side - so you're right, it puts it on the backburner of a 12 element stove.

i believe that i fallowed the instructions correctly, but for some reson, when i do a refund, or anything like that, and add comments to the order it sends an email with
AUTO_COMMENTS_REFUND

what did i miss, or leave out..

can someone please help?

Receipt Button

In addition to the Invoice Button, Shipping Label Button, and the Packing Slip Button, it would be nice if there were a Receipt Button cuz some orders come in over the phone and some customers like to have a receipt faxed to them.

It would be the same output as the Invoice Button, just that the word Invoice would be changed to the word Receipt

HTH :-)

it seems that when i set an order to refund using super orders. the order calculated correctly and all seemed well, however when i went to the catalog to login and check the order as the customer would see it. the order was gone. It wouldnt show at all...

it looked like i had never made the order.

anyone know why this is? or how to fix it?

Good news: Amazing product here! Hats off to you.

Bad news: I'm having 2 small issues.

1. When I print an invoice dirrectly under store information I get a line that says 'Fed Tax ID #FED_TAX_ID_NUMBER'. I realize this is something that should be defined somewhere but I do not see it anywhere. I did have some trouble upgrading my SQL so I possibly missed something.

2. All my new orders show a payment already listed under payment histroy. There is no name/number or type. Amount is listed as $0.00. Date Posed and modifed is listed as 12/31/1969 18:59:59.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

To the first question, could I just knock that bit of code out so I don't have it at the top or even the tax column on the invoice?

As I said in a previous post, this feature is extremely complicated and will be a futile effort when the attribute revisions are introduced. Since I am comfortable editing my orders directly via the DB, I don't plan to build this code. I'm not trying to leave you guys in the code, but my time is really restricted, especially for pro bono work. If you are willing to pay, I will have an opening in my freelance schedule at the end of the month. :smile:
