eredman Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I have added this contrib in order to import customers I had previous to oscommerce. Install went well. Went to the "manual Entry" part and clicked the "create order" button. This is the error message I got: Fatal error: Failed opening required 'includes/languages/english/FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT_ADMIN' (include_path='') in /home/thecommu/public_html/catalog/create_account_admin.php on line 36 I'm not an expert in php so I'm not sure what the error is. This is what that line of create_account_admin.php says: require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES. $language. '/'. FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT_ADMIN); Can anyone tell me what the error might be?

Snowman Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Ive actually had a look at this contribution and it seems to confusing as it incorporates a number of significant changes to the osC core. Im going to build a simple yet fully functional system that allows the admin to add orders. Should be ready in a week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardsandwars Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Snowman, I'd like to suggest that the manual entry include creating an account for the customer, if they don't already have one, with a default password, such as their email address without the '@' This would be terrific!

Snowman Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I was thinking of a simple patch-in of the catalog code into the admin. So what you do in the catalog side could be recreated in the admin side, but with designed to fit into the admin theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Doesnt that PG Manual Order mod do something similar to this? I havent used it so I dont know for sure, but I thought from the readme's about it that is what it did in essense... I could be wrong. CC.

wizardsandwars Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that the initial post in this thread was in regards to this. I installed the mnaual Entry portion of the PG module, and it wasn't complete, and I was unable to get them to give me the file that was missing. I feel that it is much too complicated for the functionality that it offers.

I feel that it is much too complicated for the functionality that it offers. In the install.txt of the download, it says to back up the /catalog/includes/language/english.php yet does not give any instructions on editing it. Could that be part of the problem of my 1st post? I even made the same change asked for in the admin english.php but nothing changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eredman Posted January 30, 2003 Author Share Posted January 30, 2003 Well, I couldn't figure out the problems and did not get any replies to my emails to the creator of this one. Snowman, I'm still in need of a way to manually enter my preexisting customers so if you're still thinking of creating a module for it, I'm very interested!!

eredman Posted February 8, 2003 Author Share Posted February 8, 2003 Steve, is it possible to add customers directly thru the MySql database? I was looking at it in phpadmin but didn't actually see a way to put a customer in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 well yeah it could be done that way but thats rather messy, and you wouldnt be able to encrypt the password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eredman Posted February 8, 2003 Author Share Posted February 8, 2003 Ok. the more I looked at doing it that way the more I realized it wasn't a good idea, at least not for someone with my (lack of) skill level! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 New update posted. just want to make a clarification after reading some of the threads, we created a module completely independent from the core application it means that we added new tables and screens for the shipping and manual entry modules this module ABSOLUTELY does NOT modify anything in core application in order to keep separate the orders entered in the system and the processing of those orders for the shipping part. it was done on purpose to keep an audit trail New version v0.6 posted http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,955 Version V0.6 - updated February 09 2003 Read previous version description for complete list of functionalities let us know if any problems during install Fixed several bugs in several admin maintenance screens + updated format in catalog/account_history_info.php shows only tracking number link if tracking number & carrier name is entered + Added in admin ability to send an additional email with specific instructions (we use it for growing tips and we send it after sending the email including the shipping info but the document text can be modified through admin interface , thus you can include whatever you want: download info, warranty......) There is now drop-down box allowing admin to create several documents through maintenance screen. when in shipping admin template, admin can select the document he wants to email + added possibility to select for each item a supplier via admin interface. Added supplier admin screen. -> fixed several bugs in templates + Added new report to show items to be ordered from supplier (this way it is easier to do purchase order) -> fixed several bugs in templates + added items sold report: (this report allows to browse the products sold by item name and with a link goes diretly to the order) -> fixed several bugs in templates + added functionality to add a cost and weight at the attribute level (to be fully functional, you would need to need the shopping_cart class, contact us for details. mainly useful if your attributes do not have same size or weight. in our case we sell a plant in different size: 1gal, 2 gal.... and thus cost and weight varies at product attribute level and not at item level, allows to calculate accurately shipping cost for order) -> fixed several bugs in templates + modified admin/spg_shipping.php to fill out automatically, for all orders placed online, the dates and payment type. -> fixed several bugs in templates + create an order margin analysis based on actual cost, sale price and actual shipping cost compared to calculated shipping cost, gives Profit margin info . (info is saved and will be used later in a report to show profit margin for each order.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eredman Posted February 9, 2003 Author Share Posted February 9, 2003 I have yet to find the chamge I need to make to this file: catalog/includes/languages/english.php Could you tell me what the change would be please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 this was a mistake in the install text file nothing is needed in catalog/included/languages/english.php anyway it would be just traduction if something was needed and you would see a variable name instead of the traduction. thus it does not prevent the module to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eredman Posted February 9, 2003 Author Share Posted February 9, 2003 Did you see the 1st post in this thread. Any idea what could be causing that problem? I guess I was hoping it would be the english.php part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 v 0.7 order processing module posted http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,955 As always send us an email if there is a problem during installation. HOWEVER do NOT just send us an email to say it does not work ! Give us some clues: OS used, platform used, error message as it appears on screen. READ VERY CAREFULLY before upgrading to v0.7. --------------------------------------------- v0.7 introduces new tables and process. make sure this process is what you want to do in your store. 1. v0.7 of the shipping processing module allows to update very easily price, cost, shipping cost in the order once it is placed through the admin module. you can now change item cost, price after the order is placed and shipping cost as well. Very useful if you run auctions and final cost is not the one used in your catalog. you can now very rapdidly enter external orders with the manual entry module in the catalog and once order is created , modify cost, price, shipping cost to reflect acutal auction or phone order. ------------------------------------- **** ------------------- at present we do not feel comfortable updating directly the order as placed by a client in the order tables. the core application being still in development by OSC developers. We chose a safe alternative to record the changes in the order. in other words we record changes in order cost, price, shipping cost in the shipping module tables and not in the core orders tables. It means that you have a full audit trail between the order originally placed by the client in the core module and you can view the changes you made during the order processing ONLY in our module. To that extent, if you change order item price, cost, shipping cost , all changes will be recorded in our module but the original order will stay unchanged in the order tables. it can bring some discrepancies between the 2 modules but it is voluntary. this is why we adapted some existing reports to reflect all changes made in the shipping processing module. one of the reason to keep the 2 separate is that if for example a client place and order and pays by credit card, a specific amount will be charged to his credit card. for any reason if you need to change the order before shipping and our module was updating directly the original order amount , you would have a card payment for a certain amount and an order showing another amount. A correct accounting process needs to be implemented in order to keep track of changes but nor erase the transactions. We think the core developers will have to put in place a similar process when they tackle the order processing.(if they plan a module) but we did not want to modify the core order tables as we do not know what will be the changes made by core developers in cureent months. From our side, we want to keep the transactions intacts. However store manager needs to be aware of possible discrepancies between the order module and shipping processing module if he needs to change order amounts. he will then need to view our reports to have correct amounts. 2. Country table status: -> added a status field in the country table: allows to slect which countries will appear in the create_account.php. it allows the store manage to limit geograhically who can order from your catalog. in other words , if you do not want clients located in zimbabwe to order in your catalog, just set status flag to inactvie in new country admin screen and this way only preselect countries will appear in drop down box during order process. 3. Reports: we modified 2 very good reports created by other contributors: sales tax report sales report we only modified a little the scripts in order to run on our shipping tables instead of the core orders tables. however all the credit goes to the original contributors . we only used their very good scripts in order to run with our shipping processing module.

michellez1 Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Have you given up on this project? Or is it on the backburner...I am quite interested in a module for a "simple" manual order system. Regards, Michelle Im currently working on it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardsandwars Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I'll second the notion. Just a VERY simple manual entry. I understand that everyone wants it to do something specific to their store, but we really should focus on basic functionality here first. All I want to be albe to do, is manually insert an order. It doesn't need to calculate anything. Just give me some text boxes to fill in, and I'll be happy.

Guest Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I would be happy with a simple form to add in the customers order. For example, I sell products on ebay. And would like to be able to just type int the order... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael D. Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 what about Order Processing module? I thought it had this functionality... P&G Shipping Module Version 0.1 12/03/2002 B. Allows to enter Phone order or orders coming from other sources( fax, mail ,auctions....) through ADMIN login Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eredman Posted March 2, 2003 Author Share Posted March 2, 2003 Is anyone making progress on this, or maybe it already exists and I'm missing it. Again, what I'm looking for is a way to manually enter a customer and and invoice for that customer who had purchased from me before I began using oscommerce. This would allow me to centralize all my customers into one site and allow them to see their previous purchases from my old site. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
