This would save so much time.")* It will be possible to print several invoices at once using the invoice PDF plugin with the next version of HikaShop. Sending 50 emails in one PHP thread is not recommended. Your server might get flagged as a spammer and your hosting company might not allow it anyway. Also, a lot has to happen when an order status is changed. HikaShop plugins are triggered, emails are sent, history is written, order is changed, etc. Doing 50 orders at once would in some cases make the processing timeout or be blocked by the resources restrictions of your hosting company. So the processing would have to happen over several pages, using some ajax system like Akeeba backup does for the backups without cron. That would be a pretty complex thing to do just to allow for that. Because of all that, I don't see a way in which we would be able to do that without issues for users or a lot of time of development for us.

OK, that is what I thought. However, it just refreshes the screen with nothing happening. Clicking the invoice button from within an individual order, on the other hand, does give me a pdf to download. Any idea why it doens't seem to work with multiple orders selected? Also, two other questions: - I would like to do this for Shipping Invoices, but am I correct to assume it only works for the Billing invoices? - Is it possible to do this without also having the pdf invoices automatically attach to emails?

This would save so much time.")* Hi, The PDF invoice plugin would generate one file which contains several pages (for the different orders). The plugin is designed for billing invoices but if you change the template, you can display a shipping invoice (but not the two types in the same time). There is not option to deactivate the PDF attachment in email. It something which has to be added in the plugin. It requires some PHP skills to edit the plugin but you can : - Comment the entire function "onBeforeMailSend" - Add a new option in the xml file and read it in the function "onBeforeMailSend" Regards, PS: I added your request in the TODO list for the plugin. --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
