As my order numbers are increasing it is taking me more and more time to print shipping labels for my packages. The easyist way I could think to do this would be to put 3 barcodes on the invoice, 1 with the customers name, 1 with the customers address and 1 with the customers zip code. That way all I have to do is scan the barcode into the correct field in ups worldship. I already have the order number as a barcode on the invioce so all I really need is the code to echo the name, address and zip.
If you have a better idea let me know...
Hi,

Would you like a module for packingslip generation for indvidual order items
if a user orders 3 products - a packingslip will be generated for each product .
we will look forward to develop a module - let us discuss to create wireframes for a packing slip format
we can also generate the barcode for extra fields as you have suggested
Looking forward to a discussion
Thanks and regards ,

For testing I am using http://www.morovia.com/free-online-barcode-generator/. It works great but I've also been looking into local options as I'm not so sure they'd be happy with me using it long term. So far ive put this line in the invoice.tpl fileMiguelito wrote:Hi,

in /admin/controller/sale/order.php you need to find the secound ocorance of "/admin/controller/sale/order.php" it should look like this
Code: Select all
$this->data['orders'][] = array(
'order_id' => $order_id,
'invoice_id' => $invoice_id,
'date_added' => date($this->language->get('date_format_short'), strtotime($order_info['date_added'])),

Works really well, thank you!
Now all we need is to find a more local solution, I'm sure they wont be happy with us using there website on a more long term basis, I will search around to see if I can find one, if so I will post back here with my findings...

Glad you like it. Big thanks to Miguelito for his help with it.
As far as local solutions I have looked into in and can't seem to find anything free that would work. I have looked into idautomation's systems and they seem pretty good for the price, so I may end up purchasing their product. I have considered using 2d barcodes so that I could print all the information in a single barcode.
I am also using barcodes to keep track of inventory since not every sale comes through opencart. I have put a barcode with the model number of the product on its line of the invoice. I then scan it into inflow inventory(free version) with the customer listed as online sales (or in store sales or warranty ect...). This may be overkill for some people but it is necessary for my situation.
Now, if I could only come up with an easy way to post the tracking numbers back to opencart...

I think I may write my own Barcode Generator, have found a couple GPL PHP Libary Classes out there I can base the generator on, shouldn't take me too long, I hope!
Will keep you updated on my progress
