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

Hi,

Has anyone here tried this mod with Dual Pricing ? Is it compatible with dual pricing ?
Thank you in advance for the info.

clikchic:

This is a neat little mod!

I installed it and it looks handy but unfortunately we deal mostly with downloadable products, and when adding a product, it does not add the download attributes as well. Any chance of this feature being added to the mod?

Are you sure you're using 2.0? You can't add items in 2.0.. only older versions. It will be introduced later on

Like he said, there is no product editing available in this release. The only edit feature is the ability to split an order (click "edit products" from the detail page > select products to move > click "submit" button).

The original SO incorporated an old, old, old contrib called "Edit Orders," which did have the ability to add products. However that code was way outdated and broke nearly every time it was used, and so it was disabled. Some users did attempt to enable and hack it into working properly, but that kind of functionality really demands a full rewrite.

For reasons described earlier in the thread (go back a few pages) it has not been added back in (yet).

Blindside,

Quick question,
Why is it that with super orders, when i view an invoice or packing slip, it only shows the carrier they choose for shipping, it dont show the method?

like one customer wants USPS Airmail, and another wants USPS Priority. When i go to print there invoice and get it ready for my driver, the slip only says USPS, dont show the method they wanted....

same with UPS, it only shows UPS, dont show Ground, next day, or whatever method they choose...

can this be fixed, or is it a problem within my cart, or what?

thanks man, your a huge help

You mean the text that appears in parentheses next to the shipping method on the order total lines? SO automagically removes that block of text because, well, it's so damn ugly.

It stretches the line way out beyond the others, and because that text sits in a table, it often bumps against the margins, forcing it onto a second or even third line. For a great example of this effect, see the Zone Shipping method.

If you want to see the text, you can disable the code that strips it in the invoice and order detail pages. Look for a block of code like the following...

      if ($order->totals[$i]['class'] == 'ot_shipping') {
        $format_shipping = explode(" (", $order->totals[$i]['title'], 2);
        $clean_shipping = rtrim($format_shipping[0], ":");
        $display_title = $clean_shipping . ':';
      }
      else {
        $display_title = $order->totals[$i]['title'];
      }

yes i need to see the text that shows there method of shipping. becuase my warehouse pulls the orders from the printer, once processed, and uses that hardcopy to finish the order and get it out the door, without the shipping method on there, they have to come back and ask our sales dept before they can ship it.

thanks man, ill try and take a look at this.

should i comment out all those lines of code?

also what files should i be looking at?

i need it to show on everything from the details page to the invoice to the packing slip..

thanks much man

Do whatcha gotta do. :smile: But I have to be honest, you are the first person to point out have a problem with this "feature," and it's been in there since the very first release.

can you tell me what it is that i have to remove in order for that to show?

im having issues getting it to display when i remove that block of code..

thanks man.

Take out that block of code I supplied, and replace it with just the following line...

$display_title = $order->totals[$i]['title'];

Is there any way to not display the weight but still display the method?

The weight shows like this:

USA (UPS Ground (1 x 4.00lbs)): $5.47

Many thanks :-)

I would imagine so. Do some research on the PHP functions for searching strings:

Hi , Ive installed this for a client on his live site , and he loves the functionality , but when updating the status , and clicking to notify customer , it does,t send the e-mail , I can send the e-mail from the original zen orders singular , but on the batch update , even selecting one customer to notify , does not seem to work .

I am using 1.3.5d , latest version of Super orders , and the sendmail function .

Can anyone shed any light on this ?

Cheers

 i know im being a pain, but i cant seem to fix the packingslip file... i have all the others working as i need, and actualy they look great...

But i cant seem to get the packingslip *happens to be the one i REALLY need, go figgure* working..

please help...

thanks in advance for all you help

It would probably help if you gave some clue as to what the problem is. "can't get it working" isn't really very descriptive. You explained your problem... BS answered and gave you a solution. Did you try it? Did you follow his instructions? if so, what EXACTLY remains the problem?

How well do you know php? Are you just fumbling around trying to change files when you have no clue what you are doing? Or do you have some functional knowledge and comfort and just need guidance? If the former, then its probably time to either a) learn, or b) hire. If the latter, then you'll need to explain the trouble better.

Have just installed the latest version of SO on 1.3.5. But, like crazycucumber, mails are not sent when 'Notify customer' is selected. Using smtpauth, the initial message is sent so my smtp is working. Did add several more order status.

Edit: While hitting the send button I wondered if the mails were somehow marked as spam. Just checked and they were. Don't have a clue why the initial mail is not and the follow ups are.

crazycucumber, could this be what's causing your problem?

Possibly , But I'm getting the red cross on the notify customer box , as if it wasn't ticked .

Will check with host if mail is getting bounced as spam , Im not geting any feedback from the mail server to tell me so !

Thanks for any help

First off, i dont believe my question was directed tword you, if you had read back further you would see that we where already working on a fix for my problem.

basicly, i know limited PHP, but i can get by in most cases.

However im stumped on this one, becuase the packingslip file is much different from the rest of the files that i modified. im sure Blindside knows what im saying..

and i cant figgure out how to get the rest of the shipping info to show on the packingslip page.. every change i make completly removes it.

I was well aware who your message was directed at... I've been following it.

You may be right... maybe he has some idea what you're talking about. But if I were him, I'd be saying... "and... your point?". You simply didn't give enough (any) hints as to what exactly the problem is (or remains to be). You told him the problem... he told you the solution. Then you said "it doesn't work" :no:

Don't you think it would be MUCH more helpful to write something detailing exactly what the problem is, after the last proposed solution? Did his suggested changes (which you hadn't even said if you followed) make any difference? Did it cause an error? Does the page come up? Are there errros in the log files?

Fine... I'll butt out. It is none of my business. And I certainly shouldn't be singling you out as you are by NO MEANS the only one... but if we expect contributors like BS to continue developing these super-popular contribs then we (as a collective) really have to stop making it such a burden and a bore. I can see it in his recent posts (correct me if I'm wrong BS) that he's growing tired of "Its not working! I have a super-customized setup and I need it to work exactly as I need and I want you to magically understand and fix it!".

Again, sorry for butting in. Wasn't my place.

  No worries....

Basicly, the problem is that when i put that single line of code inplace of the current trim code inside the packingslip file, it shows nothing, it removes the carrier name as well. (UPS, USPS, ect)

thats the code im tring to adjust to show everything..

im sorry if i came off upset in my last post, im just quite frustrated with this. im tring to complete this on my own, however im lost as how to fix this last file. I understand that i shouldnt be bothering the author with my peticual problems, but i love SO, and i want my office to use it souly.
My apologize.

Ok now, shake hands and make up...

That's better. :cheers:

Here's how to edit the packingslip...

1. Undo whatever you did. :wink2:
2. Find this line...

        <td class="main"><?php echo $shipping_method; ?></td>

3. Replace with the following...

        <td class="main"><?php echo $order->info['shipping_method']; ?></td>

This time I bypassed all my string-stripping code entirely, calling upon the value stored in the order class when the packingslip is generated. You can use this value whenever the order class is instantiated. Look for this...

$order = new order($oID);

@s_mack
It's great to see users who recognize the volunteer and open-source nature of the contribs. Yeah there's always a few who make "fix it now" demands, but they are in the minority and I don't think that's wickedklown fell into that category (tho there's always next time :P ). I still appreciate your efforts to extract a more thorough answer; at least there's one person who can jump in to help if I get pulled away.
