mcbsolutions Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hi folks, I love to get orders with my osc store, but processing them takes too much time. I have to go into admin and copy and paste the order details into an email which I then send to my supplier. It all works fine, but time consuming. I'm looking for any and all ideas on how I can automate this process. I have looked at all the contributions and found nothing to suit meet my needs. Here is what I would like (or something similar). I click a button such as invoice and from there it runs a script that will open the compose message command in microsoft outlook, then it pastes in the data i need - which is all of what one sees on orders.php, including the comments. Any help on this would be much appreciated! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoomer Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I think you would have alot more luck generating an email serverside with all the order values included in it. Automatically send yourself the email when someone orders and then forward it to your supplier after you review it. Should be relatively easy to do in PHP (if your familiar with it). Anything to do with Outlook is going to be a total pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbsolutions Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 Thanks zoomer! I'm no PHP expert, but know enough to be dangerous, lol. I think your server-side idea is the way to do it. I'll tinker with it and if i get stuck with some of the PHP I'll ask here. If someone wants to add input on where to start with this, please chime in.

mcbsolutions Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 I don't really find your response funny. Put your energy into assisting someone on the board rather than criticize, ok? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
