Adding Extra Phase in Order Status(admin)

[Guest]

Anyone know how to add an extra phase in the order status in the admin section.

This is for personal use only... I just want to make sure I have recieved the credit card payment, or the paypal payment, or the money order before I ship, but not confuse myself with mixing in the orders I havent even looked at yet.

 

 

Presently there is Pending Proccessing & Delivered, I would like to add (Payment Complete)

 

Thanks!

in order to add that you will need to go into phpmyadmin --> table_orders_status

and insert a new status (same status_id for all language_id's).

 

If you cannot figure that out, I could also write you a php file that could insert one status for you...

I got close, but couldnt figure it out. Got to phpmyadmin and table order status, clicked insert, but lost what to do with the insert as new rows, function, null etc.

There is a provision from within the Admin interface to Add/Change Order Status...

Go to Admin->Localization->Orders Status

and just make your desired changes there.

you need to insert a new row

there are only three fields to enter then, once for every language you have.

 

You first can explore current status options, pick one, edit that and save as a new row.

while doing that do mind that the orders_status_id must be a new one.

that same status_id must be used for all languages you use.

i.e.

status_id   language_id  name
1	  1	  Order awaits processing
2	  1	  Order awaits payment
3	  1	  Order is deliverd (being mailed)

that is for using just the english language.

adding the next would then be:

status_id   language_id  name
4	  1	  Yet another description

 

now when you have several languages, you must add that for the other languages as well:

status_id   language_id  name
1	  4	  Order awaits processing (in other language)
2	  4	  Order awaits payment (in other language)
3	  4	  Order is deliverd (being mailed) (in other language)
4	  4	  Yet another description (in other language

 

in my case my second language is defined a 4, becouse it is not one of the default languages of osc.

 

edit: never knew that was there mugitty... lol
