[SOLVED] Custom Order Status, cannot edit configuration parameters

[EvanGR]

Hello,

When creating custom order status, we find that some options (Order status Configuration parameters) cannot be changed (see screenshot).

Hi

I'm just plunging into order status logics myself. As far as I can see, the "edit order" option is handled in php-scripts. I don't know why it isn't simply handled as a database entry.

I've found the option set in ...administrator/components/com_virtuemart/config/default_email.php line 59:

Code Select Expand

echo VmHTML::row('genericlist', 'COM_VIRTUEMART_ADMIN_CFG_STATUS_ORDER_ALLOWEDIT_OS', $this->os_Options, 'order_allowedit_os[]', $attrlist, 'order_status_code', 'order_status_name', VmConfig::get('order_allowedit_os', array('P', 'U')), 'order_allowedit_os', true);

In order to toggle the "edit order" option, you'll have to add the caracter code of your order status to the array.

Mind you:

• I didn't test it myself. I'm not sure it is the only script that has to be changed in order to make it work.
• You'll want to make this update-proof. So don't change the orignal file, but make an override in your admin template.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, but I am wondering if it's a configuration issue, rather than a VM limitation.

I am attaching the page I see when I attempt to create a new Order status. Note that I cannot do anything with the e-mail options at the bottom.

(I am trying to create an Order status which sends an e-mail to the shopper)

This is information only for this status

The email options are set in the VM configuration/orders settings

e.g. Default Order Status to send email to shopper

When you set these - they will be shown in the relevant order status screen

That was it! Thank you!
