I got an interesting call today related to the color coding portion of this mod, and I thought others might benefit from what I learned. A customer had just placed her first order. She went to her order history to look at it, and then called me asking why she hadn't been told her items were on backorder. Well, they weren't on backorder.

It turns out that the background color of the cells listing the individual line items was close to the color code for backorder, so even though the top line was coded for Processed, she thought that the individual items weren't going to ship. And, unfortunately, it kind of made sense for her to think that.

So I set about the task of changing the background of those cells. The problem is that any color there at all will look like a color code, even if it's a "color code" not listed in the key. So I decided to just make them white to match the background color of our store.

If you've applied this mod and would like to make the same change, it's easy - so here ya go:

In orders_list.tpl find this:

<tr bgcolor=#DDDDCC>
<td>Product</td>
<td>Code</td>

and change the DDDDCC to FFFFFF (or whatever color matches your background).

Then, just a couple lines later, find this:

{foreach item=item from=$orders[oid].item_list}
<tr bgcolor=#CCCCDD>

and change the CCCCDD to the same color as you changed the first one (probably FFFFFF).

Voila.
