I don’t know if this counts as a code tip, but we use it from time to time.

If you want to disable ajax when changing order statuses (so that printing inside functions responsible for order status changes works), do the following changes in code.

In file /design/backend/templates/common/select_popup.tpl in line:

                            <li {if $status == $st}class="disabled"{/if}><a class="{if $confirm}cm-confirm {/if}status-link-{$st|lower} {if $status == $st}active{else}cm-ajax cm-post{if $ajax_full_render} cm-ajax-full-render{/if}{/if} {if $status_meta}{$status_meta}{/if}"{if $status_target_id} data-ca-target-id="{$status_target_id}"{/if} href="{"`$_update_controller`.update_status?id=`$id`&status=`$st``$extra_params``$dynamic_object`"|fn_url}" onclick="return fn_check_object_status(this, '{$st|lower}', '{if $statuses}{$statuses[$st].params.color|default:''}{/if}');" {if $st_result_ids}data-ca-target-id="{$st_result_ids}"{/if} data-ca-event="ce.update_object_status_callback">{$val}</a></li>

remove the parameter cm-ajax,
and from the line:

div class=“cm-popup-box dropleft {if !$hide_for_vendor}dropdown{/if} {$popup_additional_class}”

remove the parameter cm-popup-box.

Note this this has some consequences, for example it causes e-mail notifications to not send, so it’s something that should be used only in development environment.

This isn’t cs-cart specific and is general utility so posting in a seperate box.
