Waza04 Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Hiya All!! I have been using a mod now on my store for some time... and wondered if anybody else would want the mod as a contribution to use... What is basically does is draw a barcode on the customer/admin invoices packing slips from the order number - this can be used with all scanners to read the order number without having to search for it. For example you can click in the order id box in admin/orders scan the barcode from a preprinted invoice and MAGIC - up comes the order without any fuss! It as configurable options in admin such as height, width, and output type aswell as the option to show human readable text underneath... The barcode can be placed anywhere you wish, and can geneate for any given string. Here is a screen shot: Let me know what you think - if people are interested - I will upload to the contributions section... Warren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be very useful to print the barcoded product numbers in the packing slip.

Waza04 Posted April 24, 2003 Author Share Posted April 24, 2003 How do you mean 'Product Number' - Do you mean the model number? Warren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 For those who have run a Barcode system internally before, I would imagine this would be invaluable. I would suggest you upload this to contributions anyhow, cos alot of people wont be able to follow this thread as it will disappear into the dark depths of threads past eventually. But maybe in time loads of people will want this... Just MHO. :wink: CC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waza04 Posted April 24, 2003 Author Share Posted April 24, 2003 Also - One other thing that I need to find out before uploading is what coding standard everybody uses... Currently im using the 'Code 3 of 9' as every scanner can read that... Warren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erisen Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Hi Warren, you are right, products_model, sorry.... Also one may want to barcode the SKU as well...... Quote GALATASARAY RULES! ultrAslan - ultrAslan - ultrAslan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 now now who's being flippant??? I think Deborah meant within an OSC scenario. People are all very edgy on here these days. Shame. :roll: CC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Since, I am rewriting the OSC Admin Tool to work more like a standard desktop application and provide a standardized (Windows-Based) environment for sales and order management that includes online, manually entered and retail store sales, this would be a very interesting contribution. Just have a couple of questions though. Does this use an industry standard barcode specification so that it can be utilized with barcode readers commonly found in retail sales today. And how hard do you think it would be to integrate the barcode functionality with product management so that labels could be printed for inventory purposes?

It uses the standard of 'Code 3 of 9' which almost every reader can read... It is very eas to place an position where ever you want - as the barcode is called using the html <img> function so it acts just like any old image...

loxly Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Don't go there Warren. I have sons with Muscular Dystrophy and one died recently. If you want to get into debate with me you will be in over your head. You, and I assume anyone else with a brain that read my comment, should understand that I was referring to osc features.

Waza04 Posted April 26, 2003 Author Share Posted April 26, 2003 No - I Was goin to use that - But it required a lot of customisation to actually get POST and GET tags to work etc.. So I went ahead and wrote my own - At the min though - iI have only used Code 3 of 9. Hoever, I made it easy to add adittional code types.
