How Can I Tell If A Customer Added Comments To His Order?

[zoti]

Is there a contribution that will mark orders with customer comments so they will stand out on the orders page?

 

Sometimes customers will put a comment but I will miss it if there are a lot of orders.

I'm not aware of one but it sounds like a good idea.

How hard is it to write one?

It depends on how fancy you want to get. As it is now, when you click on an order in admin, some information about the order is displayed in the right column. If you just wanted a note added there, it would only take a line or two. You could also install the popup mouse over code so that information about the order is displayed as you mouse over each line. This would take more work, obviously. You could also just add a few lines of code to the checkout_process.php file and have it send you an email (or add to the regular one) saying that a comment was included. Or all of the above could be done, which is the way I would do it if creasting a contribution.
