Print all shipping label WITHOUT open any order detail page?

[kepin]

hi everyone, my client wants a 'control' to print ALL shipping label from order page....WITHOUT clicking / open each order from each customer.

As far as I know, you have to OPEN THE ORDER PAGE to PRINT that page, correct ? There is no way PRINT will able to recognize all the ORDER'S SHIPPING LABEL from one button.

I need some suggestion/answer to convince my client that it can't be done.

Yes you can - yes it would require some programing.


Can be done one of at lease 3 ways.

a) One way is to use a external reporting agent like Crystal Reports or even MS-Access to print your labels using a range on Order Status and/or date.

b) Create in php a "report" that once "printed" it would ask some thing like "Did they print okay? Press OK to mark orders as labels printed."

When you press OK it changes the order STATUS to "Printed" or "SHIPPED".

c) Or the easiest way is to use Batch Print Center

Good Luck!

thanks for the respond...although I was hoping you will say 'no way, that can't be done'

anyway, so osCommerce contributions can be installed & used in osCmax ? i'm using osCmax v2 I believe....

One more question, I think I saw it somewhere...but I forgot. Is there any contribution that can show the total order (in $$) & quantity for each product on that day/week/month ?

thanks again !

I just tried it and keep getting this message :
.................................................. .......
Batch Print Center
Program Message:
There were no orders selected for export, try changing your order options.
.................................................. .......

Why is that ? Although I know I did place some test order. Is it because my shopping cart still in "test & debug" mode ? is there any option to switch it ON/OFF ?

Not sure - have not used this mod. Most OSC mods are not a simple copy over and it works thing with osCMax. You have to carefully add in the needed changes.

Not sure where or at what process your getting this error.
