Question about order statuses

As your aware, I'm using Hikashop as an ordering process for customer purchases. Well I created a new order status "pending payment". It shows in the list, I'm able to switch to the order to this status. One thing I noticed though, when I go to manage my orders it doesn't display the Pay Now button. How can I enable this button for my newly created order status?

By default, HikaShop only display the "pay now" button for orders with the status set in the option "Default order status" of the configuration.

If you want to display it for another status, you will have to edit the file listing of the view order of the front end for your template via the menu Display->Views and add the line:
if($row->order_status=='MY_STATUS') $row->show_payment_button = true;
after the line:
$row =& $this->rows[$i];

You of course have to change the MY_STATUS text by your status name.

I added the line if($row->order_status=='pending_payment') $row->show_payment_button true;
then i doubled checked that my order status is in fact named pending payment. I did a test order to see if the button would show up and I got this error when trying to visit the order listing page. "
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in com_hikashop/order/listing.php on line 83"

There was an equal sign missing in the line I gave you.

Should it be show_payment_button=true? :S

yes indeed. I changed it in my previous message.

I added the equal sign, now i'm able to access the orders page. Still not displaying "Pay with Paypal" button.

You used pending_payment in the code you added but the order status seems to be pending payment with a space. Maybe it comes from that ?

I changed the order status I created to pending_payment still no "pay with paypal" button appears.

You changed the status it self but did you saved the order with that new status name ? Otherwise, the "pending payment" status would still be in the order.

I changed both to pending instead of pending_payment and now the button is showing up, thanks for your help Nicolas.

I know this is a bit off subject but is the updated Hikashop being released today still?

I see, I went to upgrade/about in the backend of Hikashop. It said "You have the latest stable version : 1.5.1". How do I go about updating? I looked but didn't find a topic about this.

Yes, the update is locked for now because we want to be sure that everything is ok before people with live websites decide to update to it.
If you want to update, you need to download the new install package on our website. On the download page for the Starter edition or in your order details page for commercial editions.

As always thanks for your informative and prompt reply, I think I'll hold off and wait until HikaShop team has unlocked it. Take Care and God Bless!
