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
Oh , thta’s great, thta’s just I was looking for!
Where Can I download this contribution?
None of the things I do for clients get uploaded by me as a contribution, sorry. Happy to quote you for something similar which you can then make into a contribution.
Just another thought – I implemented something similar but I used a jQuery tooltip to allow the orders with multiple lines to not destroy the table layout.
Simple rollover displays the order contents in the tooltip.
Sounds good to me 🙂
Now that’s funny – I was just thinking last night that seeing what people ordered without checking details would be useful…
