Simple Create Order module – Zen cart

Hello Ivan,

I would be more than willing to pay a donation to get you to edit/update for zencart 1.3.9h

Hi Ivan,

This is an amazing module which I used for 1.3.8 but now we have upgraded to 1.3.9 and I am having problems with it. Several bugs prevent me from editing an existing order, adding shipping or tax or deleting a product, etc. Any feedback? We would really appreciate it!

I would love to use this mod and make it work. I have zen cart 1.39h. Everything seems to work ok but when i go to add a product under create order it directs me back to the admin home page. I have merged you code with my core files using win merge and have double checked everything but i can not fix it. PLLLLLZZZ... help me

hi while am trying to create order 'ADD PRODUCT'---> it redirects to admin index page, what is the prob... am using 1.3.9

Is the minimum version needed 1.3.8? Will this work on 1.3.7 (yes I know that's old and should be upgraded, but that's what the client is on right now)?

Hi there,

I had this mod installed just fine fully working and all. But now for some reason I get this error when I've added a customer and am trying to create an order for this particular customer..

this is the error:
Server error
The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.MY-WEBDOMAIN.co.uk/ADMIN/create_order.p.... It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this web page later.
HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

I need some help on what to do as I need our phone orders on the system. Thanks

Hi Ivan, nice module! I have it installed ok, but running into a small problem. When trying to add an order, and adding a product, if the product has attributes such as Checkbox, or Text field, they show up as dropdown options in your module. Any quick way to fix this? Thanks, Curt

After I installed this mod I tried to use other functions of my admin panel and it redirected me to the log in, screen. Any ideas or suggestions for files to look at?

I finally located a MAJOR issue I have been having in regards to Zone Definitions, to your mod. When one edits the /functions/general.php as the readme states, it prevents the Country and State dropdowns from showing options in the Zones Definitions area.

Because of this, zone settings do not work, flat rate shipping does not work, etc.. :[

I am using zencart 1.3.8 and i have two problems.
1. there is not remove free shipping. actually i dn't want to that.
2. when i add product then shipping zone not change. if i increase weight but there is only one shipping shows me like Shipping to GB (1 x 3.00lb(s)) and Best Way is Rs.0.00 actully this all amount shows when i m order as customer from website.

i just overwrite admin folder to my zen cart 1.3.8 and also overwrite general.php and orders.php from modification folder.

is this correct or i do something wrong. please tell me.

Thanks a lot for create this module.

Thanks
Paresh

So I'm done with my testing, and have gotten this working with Edit Orders v 2.03. Details here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=95477...

So I've gotten the Create Orders add-on working with the latest version of Edit Orders.. Details of this can be found here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=95477... the process of testing both versions, I've discovered some behavior that occurs using both the package I put together (with Edit Orders v2.03) and the package available here on Ivan's site. (which uses Edit Orders v 1.53)<br><br>Occasionally clicking the "Re-Send Invoice" button and then clicking "Ok" on the confirmation popup window results in the Edit Orders page going blank.. It's like the re-display of the Edit Orders page is blocked after resending the invoice. Here are some examples of the various steps I took when this issue occurs:<br><br>~ Create Order<br>~ Select Existing Customer<br>~ Add Product<br>~ Send Update E-Mail (this is where the page goes blank)<br><br>~ Create Order<br>~ Add New Customer<br>~ Create Order<br>~ Select New Customer<br>~ Add Product<br>~ Send Update E-Mail (this is where the page goes blank)<br><br>~ Edit Order<br>~ Add Product<br>~ Update<br>~ Send Update E-Mail (this is where the page goes blank)<br><br>~ Edit Order<br>~ Add Product<br>~ Update<br>~ Send Update E-Mail<br>~ Send Update E-Mail (this is where the page goes blank)<br><br>~ Edit Order<br>~ Add Product<br>~ Send Update E-Mail<br>~ Add Product<br>~ Send Update E-Mail (this is where the page goes blank)<br><br>Again I have tested this both with the version of the add-on available here on this site and with the version I updated which uses the latest version of Edit Orders..<br><br>The issue is that I cannot consistently re-create this to establish a pattern of when it occurs.. Repeating some of the same steps I took when I saw this error occur do not always result in the same behavior..<br><br>Very strange indeed..

So I'm still testing this.. Now that I've compared the version of this mod available here with the latest version of Edit Orders (v2.03) I'm going to see if I can figure out how to get this to work fully with the latest version of edit orders.. While I can create orders with the latest version of Edit Orders, what is missing is the ability to send an order confirmation e-mail to a customer and the shipping estimate data..<br><br>Also I noticed that regardless of which version of Edit Orders I use (the modified one that comes with this module or the latest version) the customer's street address comes through on the order without the state information. Very curious as I cannot see what in the code would cause this behavior..

Hey Kevin thought I'd share my experience with this mod.. This mod is using a much older and buggier version of Edit Orders so I decided to upgrade to Edit Orders 2.03. I made a few modifications to Edit Orders to use the same comments code as the latest version of Zen Cart (1.3.9) along with a few other minor cosmetic/functional updates to Edit Orders.

Next I verified that this add-on was using the latest version of Add Customers.

Lastly if you downloaded this add-on from the Zen Cart downloads section, please note that there are two errors in the submitted files that need to be corrected. In /admin/create_orders.php look at line 42. It will say:
Code:
WHERE `customers`.`customers_id` = ".$customer_id;

Change it so it now says:
Code:
WHERE ".TABLE_CUSTOMERS." . `customers_id` = ".$customer_id;

The reason that everyone is having issues with the delete NOT working is that the code in the orders.php file is wrong. Follow the instructions for editing the orders.php file that comes with Edit Orders and that should resolve this issue..

Dear Friend,
Have you included necessary changes for "Fixed Cannot Delete Order" in the file available for download?
I took it and still I'm unable to delete my orders. I'm using 1.3.9b

This plugin is tested on zencart v.1.3.8.
haven't tried for 1.3.9f.
But i will take a look.

Hi Ivan, thanks for creating this module, it's exactly what I need for my Zen Cart site (1.3.9f). I'm having an issue and was hoping you might provide some insight. I've uploaded all new files and modified all core files properly (and double checked). I can MANUALLY enter product info, pricing, tax, etc. and it seems to work fine as seen here:

http://www.antioxidantcure.com/images/add_order_1....

When i hit the "Add Products" button, though, it lets me add a product from my catalog just fine...but when i get back to the main order entry screen, everything below the "Resend Invoice" button disappears! (there is no longer Comments, Status, Append Comments, or Update button) As seen here:

http://www.antioxidantcure.com/images/add_order_2....

Can you help?

Hello, I downloaded this module from here and folled the installation instructions. I can enter new orders and edit current orders however for downloaded products an entry isn't create in the orders_download table for cutomers to receive the email link. Is there an easy fix for this? Thanks

P.S. I did upload the files in modifications/admin after already uploading the ones in admin.

I run Zen Cart 1.3.9f but had need of this functionality, so with great trepadation (and after backing everything up) I installed it. It let me create a customer and an order, but it pulled in the regular price rather than the discounted price. It also won't let me delete my old test orders, though it does let me reset all their money amounts to 0 so my reports will be accurate as far as showing profits goes. Do you plan to update this for Zen Cart 1.3.9?

Hi, I was wondering if you can create a search for product box in the add product page instead of step1 2 etc?

Thanks
Love the mod by the way!

Hey there Ivan. We've installed the module on our websites - it is a really great module. However, I've noticed a big problem for us. When I input the delivery address, it does not appear on the online invoice and the invoice print off which will cause a massive problem with our delivery company. Is there an easy solution?

Thanks so much,

Dan Jones

Hey there, Was looking for opportunity to post here as it beats phoning! My group is extremely astounded by the actual contribution additional webmasters are making on your site and hope to chip in in addition any time i can. I agree with the particular preceding commentor and anticipate to check back now and again.

For those who have problem with cannot delete the order.
Please download the latest patch from this post.
Just press download, and overwrite the order.php from modifications > admin > orders.php
or see around line 849 and 851 for the fixes.
Thanks.

i wonder what is wrong with the delete order. because i fixed it long time ago.
But i will find what cause it.
Thanks.

HI Breda,
For the tax you need to add it manually and calculate it manually too,
Thanks

Same issue here. I have tried everything but cannot delete orders

Hi,
I'm trying out this mod and I have a problem with the tax, it shows the product price net of text, and it shows the tax rate in the tax box but it does not add the tax rate to the total? I dont have any tax mods switched on, only the standard Zen cart tax. Any idea waht I need to do to get it to show the total including tax?
Regards
Breda

I love your post, thank you for sharing.

Yes, I downloaded at the "Download" button linked above. The modifications orders.php file did not resolve my problem of not being able to delete.
Thanks!

Did you download the one from this blog?

Hi Ivan, I am having the issue of not being able to delete orders, which I see that you've addressed by telling people to download the new orders.php file from your blog. firstly, this is your blog, no? I can't find the updated version of this file anywhere. I just downloaded the mod today from this page... so where EXACTLY can I find the new orders.php file?

Thank you!

Hi Preston,
What is your shipping estimator?
i'm using usps and fedex.
Please checek your shipping module configuration from the admin.

Ivan,

We're having trouble with our shopping cart's shipping estimator. As soon as we finished installing this module, the shipping estimator quit working. We donated $5, and would be happy to donate another $5 if you could help us fix it.

Thanks,
Preston Mitchell

Hi Magnus, i'm afraid not.
Zencart 2.0 will release soon.
I'm wonder if this feature available on the new zencart or not.
Thanks

Use file comparer to compare my files and your orders.php.
And merge them.
Thanks
