Guest Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 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.

Guest Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 2 new releases will be done this weekend. Since core application release MS1 changed some fields . we have to modify the module. We will do a release for MS1 with the appropriate modifications for that release as well we fixed the sql query to show orders in history even if not processed yet. *** New release will have now all variable defintions and language translation for the module in 2 tables . will avoid any missing variables during upgrade . it will ease upgrade dramatically for future enhancements since no file editing will be necessary. (just an sql script to run) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 I'm still waiting to find a example of the contribution. Cheers ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delishus Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 did u get it to work properly...meaning does yours update the attribute stock after a sale??? For this you need Qtpro2.1 - search for it on the forum and you'll see a link by Sloughwi to personal site where Paul has placed an updated version of it. I'm still waiting to find a example of the contribution. Cheers ian The Manual entry system is all in the admin section so you probably won't get to see an example. I just read the info in their download and took it from there. Apart from the manual entry side it gives additional reporting and the ability to change a customer order after it's placed. It takes a bit of tweaking to make it work, but it has some great features. Del Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemonj Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 The v0.8 contribution is available in the contributions section but apparently there are additional updates available at http://64.255.9.69/oscdownload/ but that link does not work. I have sent the contribution's author an eMail and PM asking about the above link and the current status of the contribution but have not received a response as yet.

Milestone Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Apparently P&G have decided to sell, not give away, this contribution now. They will be developing in their own direction. This is the new address for their download: http://exotic-palms.org/catalog/default.php The package on the OSC download site is incomplete - do not waste the time in downloading it! There are plans for members of this forum to debug and develop further v8... watch this space. Colin Quote staggering along with 2.2-CSV...

davidturetsky Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Colin, Actually, I used v8 and it worked with some serious tweaking. I provided all of the edits to them and am kind of surprised that they went this direction. Although I know it was a lot of work, I hope that this does not become a trend for some of the other developers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might wish to ask them for compensation since they are now charging for a product that you assisted in developing/testing.

j007w Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Is there another contribution that can do manual orders? I haven't found any yet but thought maybe someone would know of an existing one or one being developed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I provided all of the edits to them and am kind of surprised that they went this direction. Although I know it was a lot of work, I hope that this does not become a trend for some of the other developers. I have now installed v8, after giving up on a previous version because there were too many errors, and it seems I am back to where I started. And yes, I have followed the instructions. :) I have changed many lines based on posts here and have managed to get it mostly installed. Apparently, I am still missing key items that the new config file was supposed to correct. I have so many other errors I won't even list them here. What I would like to know is if you kept those edits and will you share them with the rest of us? I know I would greatly appreciate it. I am not a php whiz but have managed to fix some of the errors. Others have me stumped. :cry: I would really like to be able to use this contrib. Thanks, Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Laurie Laurie, I would, but at this time I am going through some serious troubles trying to integrate another mod to the 5-18 CVS. By the end of the week, I will try to reinstall v8 and will try to issue an error and solution list. There is a team of us that is looking at releasing a more stable version, but we are just getting started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
