Adding an order on the backend

hi,

when manually adding an order to the backend does the customer already have to exist in joomla in order to add them?

is there no way of manually entering name and address info while on the add order page?

thanks

Hi,

The customer must exist, because we use the customer id for the address, and in the order table.
If we create orders without existing customern then when any change is made on the order it will return a 500 error, or another error.

Hi,

when adding an order in the backend the user selection dropdown displays E-mail / user_id. Is it possible to see Username in this dropdown?

Thanks,

Nick

Hi,

There is no option for that.
It would require to change the code of the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/types/user.php
You would need to change:
$query = 'SELECT user_id,user_email FROM '.hikashop_table('user');

to:
$query = 'SELECT a.user_id,b.username FROM '.hikashop_table('user').' AS a LEFT JOIN #__users AS b ON a.user_cms_id=b.id';

and:
$this->values[] = JHTML::_('select.option', (int)$user->user_id, $user->user_email. ' ' .$user->user_id );

to:
$this->values[] = JHTML::_('select.option', (int)$user->user_id, $user->username. ' ' .$user->user_id );

Hi nicolas,

this worked fine for me. Thanks for excellent & prompt support.
