Parcel Tracking for your Customers
Hi Guys,
This is something I would like to share, not sure if there is something like this already on the forum but here goes... This mod will allow your customers to track their parcels online from your site, I use CityLink as my courier but you might need to change the code to suit your courier. I should have really placed the code into a tpl. file but instead I just created an static page as this would do me just fine. The code can be used in any way that suits you or placed anywhere on your site. I have placed mine under "order history" on my storefront. If this is what you want then do the following: **You would need to use your own images or feel free to copy mine** **The code is a bit messy but feel free to change** 1. Create a language variable - lbl_parcel_tracking and place Parcel tracking in it. 2. Create a static page in you admin side (call it Parcel Tracking) and place the following code in it Quote:
3. Open /customer/menu_cart.tpl and place the following between two If statements where you want it to appear to call your code Quote:
The results can be seen here http://www.customoid.co.uk/pages.php?pageid=50 Hope someone find this useful |

Re: Parcel Tracking for your Customers
Phils mod is much more advanced I would say, but all I really needed was for it to work with CityLink. When I do upgrade my shipping options in the near future I will definitely upgrade to Phil▓s mod!
By the way, great mod Phil! Just found it too late or shall I say you posted it too late...lol Quote:

Re: Parcel Tracking for your Customers
Not sure what you mean with spaces? When a customer types in a tracking number that is incorrect the courier's website will notify them that the tracking number is not valid. Nothing much you can do there as this will be different from every courier company's website. Some courier websites only take lower case tracking numbers so the customer will just have to type it the way it is or copy and paste it for that matter

Re: Parcel Tracking for your Customers
I have got this to come up in the customer email. But its not displaying properly nor is it when I put it in the customer home tpl.
I cant get an example up but is only dispays the drop down box with the shipping companies in it. Ther is no option to enter the tracking number. Like I said this happens in the site too. Any Ideas?

Re: Parcel Tracking for your Customers
In my version of 4.1.12 you need this bottom line:
{include file="menu.tpl" menu_title="Parcel Tracking" menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu} notice: menu_ works great for me! Thanks very much
