I'd like to let the CUSTOMER PRINT their order at checkout

I hope I am in the right place. And I have been searching for well over an hour now, but I get now search love so I thought I would ask.

I have the version 1.4.9.1 running on my local server. No link available.

What I would like to do is on this page
index.php?route=checkout/success where it says

Your order has been successfully processed!
You can view your order history by going to the My Account page and by clicking on History.
Please direct any questions you have to the store owner.
Thanks for shopping with us online!

I want to have a "Print Receipt" Button that let's the Customer Print a receipt/invoice with the Order ID and a list of all the items ordered.

I didn't see a module for that...

Can anyone help?

I am comfortable with PHP and could probably write something but I am not familiar with MVC so it feels a bit daunting.

Thanks in advance
Erin

I don't think there's a straightforward way of doing it.

There is a javascript window.print() function, but this is only good for the page you are currently viewing.

The information that you want to print is instantly emailed to the customer anyway on IPN, so I would have thought that if your customer wanted to print this information they would do so direct from their inbox.

Maybe someone who is in a more lateral thinking mood than me right now can think of another way, but I think you would have to send the customer to the order information in their account before being able to use a print page link.

Thanks. I am looking into it.

It seems really simple to pass variables onto a page. Except It's not. I really am missing something in this MVC thing.

For example...

After some digging into the code I found four files that seem to deal with the "Success" page on checkout.

catalog/controller/checkout/success.php -- actual
catalog/language/english/checkout/success.php
catalog\view\theme\default\template\checkout\success.tpl
catalog\model\checkout\order.php

So what I want to do is capture the order Id. I can see it being set in a function in order.php ($order_id)
I cannot for the life of me get it to pass to any page even when I set it in a session variable.

I even tried manipulating this function and setting my new variable as global...
I am not sure what is happening as far as how all the variables get passed to where and where I should add mine so that they get passed. At this point I feel pretty silly. So if anyone wants to give me a clue I really appreciate it.

in /catalog/controller/checkout/success.php

add this
directly after
in /catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/success.tpl
you can now get the order id using
hope that helps..

Any chance of making something like this part of the core? Lots of customers like to print out their orders

This is what I did the first time But for some reason, I totally spazzed out on the fact that the session itself was unset shortly there after. So IF I then refreshed the success page *poof!* there went my order ID. Funny. In a not so funny way.

Anyway...

I also added this:

else {$this->data['order_id']="Please login to see your order history.";}

just after this

unset($this->session->data['order_id']);
unset($this->session->data['coupon']);
}

Otherwise you'll throw an error.

I suppose my goof up was beneficial as I spent a good bit of time really looking at the code. Very clean and easy to read, if difficult to find all the pieces. I am still getting use to OOP and MVC.

I am now writing a 'Print Page", now that I have a better handle on what is actually happening during checkout.

Thanks bunches!

in /catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/success.tpl
you can now get the order id using

Code: Select all

<?php echo $order_id; ?>

hope that helps..

You may want to have a look in

/catalog/model/account/order.php
/catalog/controller/account/invoice.php
/catalog/view/theme/default/template/account/invoice.tpl

might help you grab the order data to pass to your print page..

Good luck, let us know how you get on..

Do You looking a modification for something like this? http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... ion_id=770

HELLO ALL

Do not want to create a new topic on my own request because it related to this topic

v : opencart 1.4.8 b
I would like to receive the report ( invoice ) within a page in the success
How do I do this

I did an experiment to show the invoice
But not the most successful
Set up a new page has been activating the bill, but stopped at this step

<iframe name="I1" id="I1" style="width: 650px; height: 1000px" border="0" frameborder="0" src="http://localhost/shop/index.php?route=a ... r_id=<?php echo $order_id; ?>"></iframe>

In short, the way I want to activate
$ order_id
in Success page

I apologize if my explanation is weak because I do not speak English correctly
thanks

Hello,

Is it possible using the same technique to write all the session data to an external database?
before it gets unset

Just had a customer contact me - he want to print out his own invoice from his account for a previous order - he's saying he can't (which is a bit of a surprise to me).

Re the OP's original post can someone please confirm that customers aren't able to print out their own invoices? (much like the admin can with a print invoice button)

Is there no extension that we can buy and install to save all this hassle

i think there is at least one in the extensions section
