Order Integrator / News: Recent posts

Order Integrator 1.0.12 and source code have been uploaded. Probably the biggest change in this release is the addition of the Priority Mail large flat rate box as a option. There are also one bug fix and a few other minor changes that I needed to put in for my business.

Sorry folks I am no longer updating this program. If anyone out there would like to take of the project go ahead and e-mail through source forge.

Order Integrator 1.0.9 has been released. This update adds limited support for printing customs forms with Endicia Internet postage using DAZzle and the international mailing layouts that have integrated customs forms.

I posted the 1.07 update over the weekend but forgot to post a news item. It can be downloaded at

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143041&package_id=158142

This update adds support for the new USPS shipping methods with the rate changes on 5/14/2007 to the main program and plugins. The only thing not supported in the rate changes is the Dimensional weight for Priority mail. As of right now I don't plan on adding support for it (would have to enlarge the user interface to make room for dimensions).... read more

Just a note that I should have a new version uploaded this weekend (probably 5/13) that takes care of the USPS rate changes to go into affect 5/14/2007.

Amazon.com

The Amazon.com plugin has been updated to work with the Seller Central order reports format. Since I do not have access to non Seller Central reports I don't know if Amazon has updated them to the same format. If they haven't and you don't use seller central reports this plugin will no longer work for you).

You can find the Amazon.com plugin 1.1 release at

Some more bug fixes. I think this update squashes most of the bugs (will know in a few days if it created more).

Some tweaks and bug fixes.

I have uploaded the initial release for the 3DCart plugin. You can download it from the link below. Although I have tested the plugin throughly my 3DCart website is not live yet so the testing has been limited so some bugs are expected.

I am currently switching over my website to 3DCart from osCommerce. The last major task in for me to create a Order Integrator plugin so I can import orders using 3DCart's export file.

I expect to have a beta plugin read the end of March / beginning of April.

If you are using the osCommerce plugin don't worry I will still support he plugin and issue bug fixes (it just might take a little longer).

3DCart is quite expensive when compared to osCommerce hosting but if you have not checked it out I recommend you do. It has many of the features found in CRE loaded with none of the having to deal with incomplete or broken code.

A minor bug fix and some updates listed below. The a snapshot of the latest source code has also been uploaded.

Bug Fix :

70 Pound weight warning message now only shows for US Postal Service shipping methods. You will no longer be warned about this limit if you are shipping by UPS.

Blackthorne plugin:

- Now detects more shipping methods (see plugin readme file for specifics).
Imports are now sorted by the DatePaymentReceived field in the Blackthorne database.... read more

A typo on my part prevented version 1.3.0.0 from downloading order statuses from osCommerce. The 1.3.0.1 update under plugin updates fixes this problem.

I forgot to add to the readme that the osCommerce plugin released with 1.0.4 now allows you to specify the table names that the program uses (for those using a custom osCommerce instalation where the table names have changed).

With the latest release I have added support for coupon codes to many of the plugins and fixed a couple of minor bugs.

I am currently working on adding coupon support so Quickbooks coupon codes can be entered using the manual order entry plugin and downloaded with the osCommerce plugin.

I also plan to ad a tab to the osCommerce options page that will allows you to enter the names of the tables that need to be accesed (for those using a database where the table name have been changed).

Some minor bug fixes and internal changes. This release also includes the new manual order entry plugin that allows you to create new orders and edit any order already in the database.

I finally got around to finishing the Manual Order Entry plugin since I will need it for my business (I no longer have enough orders to justify paying for Amazon Pro Merchant and need it to enter the orders manually). I am currently bug testing the plugin and it will be included with the next release of Order Integrator.

For the next release I have also changed when the initial order valuation and default insurance / confirmation options are applied. These will now be done for all new orders when the program first loads and again whenever the database is requerried. ... read more

Version 1.01 has be released. This includes one minor bug fix (tracking numbers longer than 50 characters cause the program to crash) and includes the latest version of all plugins.

Order Integrator 1.0 is available for download. There are only a few minor updates (see the release notes).

After months of beta status I have changed the version to 1.0 and changed the project status to Production / Stable. The main program is clearly stable (and bug free?) so I feet it was time to officially move out of the beta phase.

The only real issue at this point is the lack of additional plugins. If anyone is interested in creating a plugin please feel free to e-mail me. I can help you understand the plugin code and how it works but I am unlikley to create any new ones myself. There is also a sample plugin project available at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143041&package_id=158795&release_id=344492

You can view the current tasks I am working on (or for right now planning to work on) by going to http://sourceforge.net/pm/?group_id=143041 or click tasks in the project header.

Nothing major planned for the immediate future mostly just some minor things that should have been taken care of a long time ago.

I have just uploaded version 0.8.8. As the release notes state this update is to only include the latest eBay Blackthrone and osCommerce plugins and does not contain any other bug fixes. If you have already downloaded the updates or don't use these plugins you do not need to install 0.8.8.

The latest alpha version of Blackthorne (3.0.15) has made some changes to the database structure that will keep Order Integrator from working. If you have already upgraded you will need to go back to the previous version (3.0.135).

I will try to have updates to support the changes but it may take a couple of weeks depending on how much has been changed

Fixed bug: SQL server port not changed when uploading / downloading
orders (the default port 3306 was being used no matter what port was
entered).

You can download the plugin at

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143041&package_id=179548&release_id=393452

Order Integrator 0.8.7 has been released. There will also be a source code snapshot for 0.8.7 (zip file) available soon.

There would have been a new release about today but I had some computer problems the beginning of Thanksgiving week and had to wipe my computer clean and reinstall everything. There will probably be an update available around 12/10 that adds Global Priority mail support and additional shipping variables.
