Is it possible to outline how to add multiple tracking numbers to an order, outside of X-Cart?
What table(s) are used for this?

We have a shipping application, not connected to X-Cart, and currently it just adds the tracking number to the field 'tracking' in 'xcart_orders', nothing complicated.
It would be great if you could tell us how to add multiple tracking numbers to an order, so we can have our shipping program changed (self-written) to add tracking numbers in the same way.

Never mind, I see a new table: 'xcart_order_tracking_numbers' which is quite easy! I only don't understand the 'carrier_code' field.

------------

I have just upgraded our testserver to 4.7.6 (from 4.7.5), and this is not visible:

If logged in as a customer, the list with tracking numbers & button (and even the header "Order tracking" is not visible.

They are tracking numbers that are added by hand, not via a shipping provider, so the 'carrier_code' is empty, is that the problem?
How can we get the Track It button attached to it?

[herber@wirehub.nl]

Another bug we are experiencing:

Product Notifications Module.
See screenshot.

The 'popup' that should occur when hovering over the icon has disappeared, the text is now permanently displayed.
Perhaps it has to do with the JQuery update?
