VM [3.2.14] I can't delete orders

[GJC Web Design]

and as I assume your old testing orders are just that .. tests .. then u only have to dump them once to clean in up .. surely not a huge effort?

If u don't want this to happen with your tests simply disable any invoice creation (pdf) while testing .. then you can delete the orders from the admin

"Ensure that NO order status is set to generate an invoice" and how exactly is this done please?  When I go into the order status I want to change, I see the Order status Configuration parameters but do not see how to change them.

Please learn and investigate the software as you would have to do with any other software....

@AH
The restriction is not the only problem, Virtuemart is bugged because task value is set 2 times !
I'm wondered that all other function work in this form ?
Here why

Code: [Select]

<?php echo $this->addStandardHiddenToForm (); ?>
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="<?php echo vRequest::getCmd('task'); ?>">addStandardHiddenToForm already add the task and the second line add the task a second time
Bug found in  3.2.14, but i dont checked if this is the case for other release.

Thank you, yes I fixed that. It worked, because the task is set by js. So I just removed it to make it cleaner.

Yes but European Law is above French! In GDPR you must  not keep personal data for longer than you need it. You should also periodically review the data you hold, and erase or anonymise it when you no longer need it

In GDPR you must  not keep personal data for longer than you need it. You should also periodically review the data you hold, and erase or anonymise it when you no longer need it

Many store owners achieve this via manual database updates and file handling processes - which gives the flexibility to achieve exactly what the business needs.  Anonymising data is always necessary in order to create testbeds with "real data".

Maybe you would support the development of a "plugin or component to achieve this need"

Users, Orders, Invoices  should be considered as separate elements each with a retention period aligned to the business need

With the ability to anonymise specified fields. If anonymise is not possible (thinking of stored PDFS) then removal of the file.

Process would be manually invoked via admin - with relevant Access control to said functions - maybe separated by data type

Personal datas and business datas is not same.
You can remove anything but not invoices, i think that the law is same for all countries in EU ?

I understand, but we did not use this to issue the bill. Anyone who is doing this is the solution here:
administrator / components / com_virtuemart / models / order.php

Search this line(2268-2271. line):

Code: [Select]

if ($invoice) {
$removedOrderMsgs [$order['details']['BT']->order_number]= 'COM_VIRTUEMART_ORDER_NOT_ALLOWED_TO_DELETE';
continue;
}

Replace:

Code: [Select]

/*if ($invoice) {
$removedOrderMsgs [$order['details']['BT']->order_number]= 'COM_VIRTUEMART_ORDER_NOT_ALLOWED_TO_DELETE';
continue;
}*/

Sorry my bad english!

usefull to remove test transactions; which are obligatory when using a shop in something else then english.
