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

globalmemory:

Yes it has been modified. I'll get my programmer to modify the code so that it defaults to the default currency during checkout. Thanks for your input.:bigups:
Did your programmer use code previously posted in this thread to add PayPal auto payment?? It helps the community if you can report the FULL story.. (Especially if you are using code that's been previously posted)

FYI, it's helpful when posting in a support thread to let folks know that you've made modifications to the default code.. It would have saved us all a bit of back and forth posting..

You can look at the Paypal automatically added to Super Orders from the post http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=611532#post611532
I have added the code and it has been working on our site for the last year

Many thanks for that topcat24, and to you as well DivaVocals. I only accept payment from Paypal in £'s so I should be alright shouldn't I?

PhilipDepends on what you mean by "accept £".

For example: My client only accepts USD for payment, but supports multiple currencies so that her customers can SEE their order in their national currency versus USD. However, her PayPal account is set up so that she only receives payments in USD. If the customer selected a different currency for their order, in Zen Cart the order details are displayed in the currency her customer placed their order in (See image)

In other words, the ORDER details will be in the currency selected by the customer, but the PAYMENT received will be in the default currency.

Please note that the balance due shown is in the default currency (USD) and payments entered are presumed to also be in this currency. So when a payment is entered, the balance due will be in USD. The code previously posted does not appear to handle the balance due conversion correctly. Again I haven't tested this (so I am hoping that someone who is using this code with multiple currency support will chime in here), but if I am correct, it means that the balance due calculations will be incorrect if you support multiple currencies.

This is how the current Super Orders code deals with multiple currency orders when you apply a payment manually (or when credit card payments are auto-generated)

Sorry but there have been many modifications made a while ago and i can't remember all of them.:unsure:

I see. Frankly I'm not sure how I can tell if my site accepts multiple currencies. (Where do I look)? I certainly hope not. (I operate on the KISS principal)! I do know that the £ is our default currency, Switch To Default Language Currency is set to false and Language selector is set to default.

Only a separate issue, I see you have tidied up the code that send out messages to customers. Does the payment received message actually go now? I currently get round that one by sending the message manually but it's a bit of a pain.

Sorry but there have been many modifications made a while ago and i can't remember all of them.:unsure:I understand when you have lots of modules installed that it may be tough to remember them all off the top of your head... But remember that I asked you THREE times about whether or not you had made modifications to THIS module. It took a NUMBER of posts before you FINALLY revealed that YES, Super Orders had indeed been modified (as I suspected it had been)..

It helps the rest of the community when we SHARE what we learn with the rest of the community.. For example IF your issue would have really been a bug with Super Orders, others would benefit from knowing that a bug existed, and more importantly how to resolve it.

In that spirit, it would be nice if you could SHARE with the community and confirm if the modifications you made to Super Orders are in fact from code posted on this forum?? If yes, it would be nice to know was it the same code posted here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=611532&postcount=1116

AND

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=611736&postcount=1117

This way we can confirm that there is indeed a possible (as yet untested/unconfirmed) issue if this code is used..

I currently get round that one by sending the message manually but it's a bit of a pain.I did tidy up the outbound message for order notes sent via the admin.. I also made notes which are not sent to the customer "admin notes" so they should no longer be viewable by the customer in the "My Account" area..

As for payment messages, these messages never sent out anything more than the updated order status upon payment receipt to my knowledge, and I didn't do anything to add to this..

Thank you very much DivaVocals, I appreciate that reply. I have the currency sidebox turned on at the moment - I think it can go. For trademark reasons which only trade within the EU. Most other members use the Euro with the exception of some of the newer eastern European members, but they must switch within a very few years of accession.

I love Super Orders 2.0 for it's functionality and ease when looking at my customer orders!

I was just wondering if it was possible to add a PayPal selection to the type of payment in the drop down menu. All my invoices show a balance due and I manually add the payment to each one but I just wanted the ease of adding "PayPal" if that is how my customer paid.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

You can add as many different payment types as you like from Admin > Localization > Payment Types

I have been using Super Orders successfully and really like it. Recently, I noticed a bug. Although I searched this thread, I didn't find anything. It seems that in the address field in the details of the order, a zip code with an initial zero does not display the initial zero. It shows up in the customer database. Not on the order. Could someone let me know if it is a known bug? If there is a quick fix or if this was, perhaps, fixed in the latest version? (I haven't updated to the latest version because of the issue with MasterCard. I have to be ready to install and patch at the same time and time hasn't allowed.)

If by the "issue with MasterCard" you mean the issue where payments made via Master Card did not show the correct payment type, this is fixed in the new version..

as for the other item you are citing, I dunno if it's a reported bug or not.. Never knew this was a specific issue, and haven't tested for it.. and before you ask, IF it is an issue, off the top of my head I wouldn't begin to know how to fix it..:laugh: The new version of SO is basically a consolidation of posted bug fixes and module corrections posted by the many good ppl who have graced this thread and shared their knowledge over the last three years..

The new version was born out of my frustration of having to apply a GROCERY list of posted fixes to Super Orders each and every time I installed it for my clients.. So I created a patched version for myself and shared it with the community..

Sorry, but I'm not seeing that on my version. I go to Customers->SuperOrders, then click on the blue "D" to get details of the order. The zip looks fine under the customer/billing/shipping addresses. Is this where you're seeing the problem?

Can anyone explain to me what is Order Payment Tracking in super order. i don't understand what is that for. it says in the read me file that there are 3 buttons at the side. any help would be appreciated

Can anyone explain to me what is Order Payment Tracking in super order. i don't understand what is that for. it says in the read me file that there are 3 buttons at the side. any help would be appreciated Simply put you can enter payments received against orders.. Some specifics of what you are unclear about would be helpful.. Not sure what three buttons you are referring to (doesn't appear to be any reference to three buttons in the readme). Have you installed Super Orders??
Order Payment Tracking

Super Orders includes the ability to enter and track payment data. The Super Orders payment system can track all of the following scenarios:

* Multiple PO's
* Multiple payments
* Multiple payments per PO
* Multiple refunds per payment
* Multiple refunds per order

Opening the details screen for any order will display the payment system. There you'll find buttons to add the three types of payment data:

1. Purchase Orders
2. Payments
3. Refunds

Clicking any one will bring up a pop-up window to enter the details for that particular entry type. When you are done, the pop-up will close and return you to the original page, refreshing it to display your new entry.

Buttons to edit and delete payments are on the line listing the payment. Click the corresponding button to modify the entry or remove it entirely. I think it's pretty self-explanatory, but please post on the forum thread if you have problems or questions.

You're welcome.. FYI, this was covered in the Super Orders readme file..

Payment Types

The payment system now also allows the user to specify the type of payment being entered. For instance, if the payment is cash, simply select "Cash" from the dropdown; if it's a credit card payment, select the proper Credit Card company, or just choose "Credit Card" for lesser known providers.

Furthermore, the system allows the user to add/edit/delete the available payment types to suit his or her needs. Go to: Admin > Localization > Payment Types

How do you track orders? where do you go? and what is the payment system for? can u give me a situation. i understand the refund. is the payment button lets you add additional payments from the customer?

How do you track orders? where do you go?Super Orders replaces the default order management.
Admin > Customers > Orders

is replaced by

Admin > Customers > Super Orders

From the readme file

Super Orders is exactly what its name implies: Zen Cart order management on steroids. It's more in all the areas Zen users are asking for more:

• more navigation options

• more order control

• more thorough data

• more detailed reports.

But it's NOT more than you can handle. The system was designed for data entry clerks (some of the least-technically inclined people on the planet). You're a Zen user. You can handle it.
It's what I previously stated.. It let's you enter payments, refunds or P.O.s for your orders. (Something the default orders management DOES NOT allow you to do since there IS no such thing as entering order payments in the default Zen Cart order management.)
