admin notes - highly recomended contrib

[met00]

a fantastic contribution
http://www.oscommerce.com/community/...l/search,admin
plugs right into the back end with no problems

(okay, one problem

in the install you have to modify orders.php as follows

old code:

Released under the GNU General Public License
*/

require('includes/application_top.php');

require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'currencies.php');
$currencies = new currencies();
$orders_statuses = array();
$orders_status_array = array();

to:

Released under the GNU General Public License
*/

require('includes/application_top.php');

require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'currencies.php');
$currencies = new currencies();
if (!isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['cID'])) {
$cid_query = tep_db_query("select customers_id from " . TABLE_ORDERS . " where orders_id = '" . (int)$oID . "'");
$cidq = tep_db_fetch_array($cid_query);
$cID = $cidq['customers_id'];
}
$orders_statuses = array();
$orders_status_array = array();

That's the only fix needed. )

Now, as to why this is a great mod.

1) allows you to make notes on individual accounts
2) those customer notes show up in customers orders
3) allows you to get rid of the 1,248 little scraps of paper cluttering your desk with notes on contribs, and other things with notes attached to the store/admin that are searchable and categorized... Every small mod can now have a recorded history in the store. Instructions and details that were noted on pieces of paper can now be accessed and not lost!

another small contrib that is HIGHLY recomended (and should be in the next release of the oscMAX).

hey met00,
I applied this mod and it seems to work fine. However, it seems my store has lost the ability to make a customer's address entered at registration their primary address. I'm finding that new customers do not have a primary address and they have to manually set it during their first checkout.

did you have any issues like this after this mod install?

If not, do you have any clue where in this mod code I could have broken this functionality?

Thx,
C

hmmm, maybe set it so customers_notes in the customers table deaults to null.
