Hi,
I need to add a shipping number to orders. I've read other posts and understand adding the custom field etc.

However I need it a little different to others it would seem.

In Orders - Main Info - you have the choice to change from Confirmed to Shipped.
So I'd like to add the following to this section (or other section as long as I can still change the status to shipped)...

Select 'Shipped'
Add Tracking Number
Add Notes (eg. Track this number through www.fedex.com/xxx )

On Submit

Emails Customer with New Status 'Shipped', Tracking Number and Notes.

Save Tracking Number & Notes to History.

Thanks...

EDIT: Sorry this is in the wrong Forum section but can't move it now of course...

Hi,

As you have read, you will have to use the custom fields, don't display them in frontend to only have the possibility to edit them in backend.
Then when changing the order status, just fill the desired custom fields.

You will have to edit the views "order / invoice" (backend), "order / show" (frontend) and the email "order status notification" in order to display or not the custom field value depending on if it's empty or not, or on the order status.

It require some PHP knowledge.
