Okay. I'll try to answer everyone's questions.
First, End: The "Choose a product" dropdown is populated by using the products_to_categories table. You may either be selecting a category that is empty, or your tables are set up differently. Keep in mind that in most stores, products are assigned to only a specific category. So, for instance, let's say you had the category "Books." However, you have a ton of books, so you don't really assign any products to just "Books." Instead, you create sub-categories like "Science Fiction," "Romance," and "Non-Fiction." And you assign books to those specific categories.
Now, if you select the "Books" category when adding a product, you won't see any books, because all the products are in their specific categories, so you'd need to select "Science Fiction" or "Romance" or "Non-Fiction" to be able to see any products.
Just a thought. I don't know if that's right or not. If you're still having trouble, send another message.
cgchris99: Yes, I've already added plans to make a "Create Order" tool, based on this one. However, I need to make sure we've got the tax problems fixed first. Otherwise, international stores aren't going to be able to create orders without having to do some major tweaks to the tax.
As for the mods in the screenshot, not really. They aren't "add-ons" - rather, they're modifications to the existing code. And I can foresee all sorts of trouble when people replace their existing orders.php with my modified one. However, I can tell you HOW to add each flag. (I later noticed that in osC 2.2, that one "note" icon is already set to take you to the details screen)
Bodyfeelings:
Regarding Wish #1, yes, I'm sure I could incorporate something like that. I don't know if I can put it in the next release, though.
Wish #2: I'm not sure what you mean. Please explain a bit better.
Wish #3: CC is correct. There wasn't enough room to have 3 sets of address tables next to each other. I agree that it did look better the other way, though. <shrug> Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be.
GFW:
Is there any way I could access your store admin to see this? I realize that it would involve trusting me with your data, but I promise I won't try to screw anything up. :)
To All Having Problems With Tax, Especially International Stores: Right now, the tax is being calculated just based on a flat rate for shipping, and an individual percentage for each item. I'll need to be able to find out specifically how you want the tax processed. This may mean giving me some sort of access to your store, along with a description of how the tax is correctly calculated in your store/checkout. Send me a PM or an e-mail if you want me to take a look.
Cheers,
Jonathan
