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:
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 $shipment.tracking_number|strlen >0}
{$shipment.tracking_number}
{/if}
Create File: /design/backend/templates/common/track_usps.tpl
Place this Code in this File:
{if $shipment.tracking_number|strlen >0}
{$shipment.tracking_number}
{/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 $shipment.carrier == ‘usps’}
{include file=“common/track_usps.tpl”}
{/if}
{/foreach}
The last thing you need to modify this file:
/design/backend/templates/views/shipments/details.tpl
around line 51
change it to look like this:
__("by")} {$shipment.shipping}
{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.
