Yesterday an osCommerce client of mine asked me to come up with some code for showing what the person had ordered WITHOUT having to click on the individual orders…
So, I set to thinking and came up with the idea of showing the products ordered in the orders.php page. So, instead of seeing a normal orders summary like this:

An extra column is added to show the products ordered, and the quantity thereof, as so:

After some twiddling with the codebase, it turned out fairly decently I think.
Remember…
1. Make the SHOP side as easy as possible for your customers to use
2. Maker the ADMIN side as easy as possible for YOU to use
