Working in X-cart 4.6.3,Nice job summing this up Raptor. Thanks

Re: Custom Order Status inc Email To Customer and Stock Correction X-Cart 4.5.x

does the codes apply to x-cart gold v4.7.4?

Re: Custom Order Status inc Email To Customer and Stock Correction X-Cart 4.5.x

Yes, it should work in 4.7.4. Not much has changed in this area.

Re: Custom Order Status inc Email To Customer and Stock Correction X-Cart 4.5.x

I can't get it to work at all with 4.7.6

Have disabled Custom Order Status as that is not fit for purpose (Refund & Cancelled orders requires putting stock back and sending custom email).

If anyone has any ideas.......

Re: Custom Order Status inc Email To Customer and Stock Correction X-Cart 4.5.x

I ended up using the Custom Order Statuses mod with 4.7.6. I use an "out of stock - on order" and "discontinued" order status.

When adding a custom status in 4.7.6 a random status code is picked by x-cart. Since I had my own custom statuses from before the store upgrade I just had to update the random status code to match what I had picked previously.

You can figure out what the random status code is through SQL

Code:

select * from xcart_custom_order_statuses;

or by modifying the custom order status tpl to print it out:

Index: skin/common_files/modules/XOrder_Statuses/status_selector.tpl

Code:

     <td align="left">

-      <textarea name="statuses[{$status.statusid}][descr]" cols="45" rows="4">{$status.descr}</textarea>

+      <b>statusid={$status.statusid},code={$status.code}</b> <textarea name="statuses[{$status.statusid}][descr]" cols="45" rows="4">{$status.descr}</textarea>

     </td>

For me, my new status IDs were 9 and 10 and needed codes 'K' and 'S' to match my previous custom status codes. I updated them in SQL:

Code:

update xcart_custom_order_statuses set code='K' where statusid='9';

update xcart_custom_order_statuses set code='S' where statusid='10';

The Custom Order Status module has built-in options for sending emails so I've been using that for customer email notification.
