add new order status

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

We don't use the "shipping" status... I see we can change the message it displays on the vieword pages but it also displays shipping info like the address etc. Is there a simple way to have the 'shipping' status not show all the extra stuff like the address, shipping packages etc. on the vieword pages?

Basically I want it to look like the 'pending' status... where it has a line that says: This order is pending. I want to use the 'shipping' option to make a new message in place of that but without it displaying all the extra shipping address, packages etc. - would this be hard?

Could I just find the code that creates the shipping address, packages etc. on the vieword page for the "shipping" status and use a display: none on it? Or is this the same code used on the "shipped" status?

	That's not a small project at all as far as I can see. The indicator is a flag that indicates any one of the valid statuses for an order. The status of an order is referenced a very large number of times in the code & you would most likely need to update every single one of those.

	is there a way to add another order status option to the control panel? if we add a new line to languages.asp what else would we need to do to have the new option show up on the drop down box in the control panel? Thanks! Edited by Ludwig - 21-May-2012 at 3:47pm
