Adding New Orders from Admin Side on a showcase site
Hi all,
Im in the middle of customizing my first zen-cart site and have a question about how I can manually add orders to customers.
Background
Because Im selling courses the nature of this business requires the user to enquire about the course first then we phone them back and agree the dates are still free and take payment over the phone.
Ideally at this point i would like the telephone operator to either create a new account for the customer or locate their existing account and manually add the order to the customer.
I want the customer to be able to login etc so they can trac their orders etc from the site. I have re-enabled the login options so they are not disabled (which is a standard part of the showcase build)
I've found previous posts suggesting to use both the super orders module and the master password for the customer. This I know would work fine if it wasn't for the fact I have set the site up as a showcase so the options to add the products to the cart are not there
I am a programmer by trade so if you have a technical answer / code changes feel free to be as technical as needed :-)
Questions
-
Is there a way to identify / differentiate between a client login and the master password login. That way I could change the site type from showcase to normal but add code so it will only show "add product to basket" if admin have logged in and "enquire" if its a normal customer?
-
If the above is not possible is there a way with the existing setup + super orders etc to add orders
-
if the above 2 is not possible then I will have to create my own function to create an empty order. What tables as a bare minimum have to be populated in order for the order to appear on the admin screen. Once the empty order appears then i can use the super orders funcitonality to add and remove products
thanks in advance,
Ed
