Importing Orders into Zen Cart

I have a few orders I would like to import into Zen cart. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am using php myadmin, but manually adding the orders there, and posting the product ids into orders-products does not trigger what is needed to see these orders in the list from the control panel when i choose: customers>>orders.

I am certain that the appropriate id numbers are getting assigned properly, and that the customer id is recorded in the orders table and that the orders id is recorded in the orders-products table.

is there a magic button i forgot to press? :-)

a tiny bump to see if anyone is out there :-)

I may not understand exactly what you're trying to do, but the easy way to enter an order is to install the Master Password mod, and log in as the customer desired and create the order. When I've had to do this, I turn send emails to off and activate the COD payment option temporarily.

BTW, if anyone is looking for a good example of creating a Zencart template to match their existing site, they could do a lot worse than your elasticStory site. Nice job.

wow, thanks for the compliment! And thank you for the response. I am going to install that mod and try it.
