If I want to see if a package has been delivered, I click on order #, then I click "shipments", then I click Shipment ID #, then I copy the tracking # and paste that on FEDEX website.

I do all this just to see if package has been delivered.

Is there an easier way??

I could not find any add ons.

It would be nice if, at least, the tracking number would be available as a link in the order detail page or even in the "shipments" area.

Only a suggestion :mrgreen:

We need to convince Tony to update is Parcel Tracking add-on... We had in on previous versions and it was awesome.

It is very "carrier specific" and became a maintenance nightmare (especially USPS). I only did 2 carriers (UPS and USPS) in the old Parcel Tracking module. FedEx was a pain and I never even looked at what it would take to do all the various carriers around the world.

Happy to attempt this on a custom code basis. But doing it as a production addon was a loosing proposition.

I agree with you on this 100% , even better shipments tracking #'s should be visible and clickable on the order detail page instead of going to 3 pages to get to them and also have the ability to edit the tracking # if you make a typo mistake.

I have implemented a work around where the tracking # is clickable in the shipments page, it is not a pretty mod but it works, may be someone can pickup on this and make an addon out of it

You will need to create few tpl files in /design/backend/templates/common

I only use UPS and USPS so I created the files for these carriers , you can easily add other carriers

Create : /design/backend/templates/common/track_ups.tpl

Place this Code in this file:

{if $shipment.tracking_number|strlen >0}
       
       <b>
       <a href="http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processRequest?HTMLVersion=5.0&Requester=NES&AgreeToTermsAndConditions=yes&loc=en_US&tracknum={$shipment.tracking_number}" target="_blank">{$shipment.tracking_number}</a>
       </b>
     {/if}

Create File: /design/backend/templates/common/track_usps.tpl

Place this Code in this File:

{if $shipment.tracking_number|strlen >0}
      
       <b>
       <a href="https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction.action?tLabels={$shipment.tracking_number}" target="_blank">{$shipment.tracking_number}</a>
       </b>
     {/if}

Create File in: /design/backend/templates/common/shipvia.tpl

Place this code in this file:

{foreach from=$order_info.shipping item="shipping" key="shipping_id" name="f_shipp"}

{if $shipment.carrier == 'ups'}
   
   {include file="common/track_ups.tpl"}
{/if}
{if $shipment.carrier == 'usps'}
   {include file="common/track_usps.tpl"}
{/if}
</b><br>
{/foreach}

The last thing you need to modify this file:

/design/backend/templates/views/shipments/details.tpl

around line 51

change it to look like this:

__("by")} {$shipment.shipping} <br />{if $shipment.tracking_number} {include file="common/shipvia.tpl"}{/if}{if $shipment.carrier}

If you use other carriers, just make the file for each and add the include file in the shipvia.tpl file

I know this is not pretty but I hope it will help.

You can use the standard info. Insert these lines:

                        {assign var="shipments" value=['order_id' => $order_info.order_id, 'advanced_info' => true]|fn_get_shipments_info}
                        {if $shipments}
                        {assign var="shipments" value=$shipments|reset}
                        <div class="sidebar-row">
                            {foreach from=$shipments item="shipment"}
                                {include file="common/carriers.tpl" capture=true carrier=$shipment.carrier}
                                <p>{__("shipment")} #{$shipment.shipment_id}
                                    {__("on")} {$shipment.shipment_timestamp|date_format:"`$settings.Appearance.date_format`"} <br />
                                    {__("by")} {$shipment.shipping} <br />{if $shipment.tracking_number} ({$shipment.tracking_number}){/if}{if $shipment.carrier} ({$smarty.capture.carrier_name|trim nofilter}){/if}</p>
                            {/foreach}
                        </div>
                        {/if}

inside the {foreach from=$order_info.shipping item="shipping" key="shipping_id" name="f_shipp"}, before closing {/foreach} in the design/backend/templates/orders/views/details.tpl file

Or to any place in this file

FedEx has a desktop widget that tells you where all your shipments are, both outgoing and incoming.

I will update my mod above to show the shipments tracking #'s on the order detail page where you can click on it and track it.

This puts the shipping / tracking number on the order details page. But would it be possible to have that tracking number clickable.

No. The tracking number will be just displayed.

Try to replace:

What do I have to add to your URL structure so that a new tab / window is opened when clicking the tracking link.? I tried adding the

target="_blank"

but that didn't work..

Thanks again for your help. This a major time saver...
