With the key feautures of 1.7 improving, Artio is great in keeping us happy, thank you!!
I have got a idea for a nice feature, and this is a good idea for pizza parlors etc...
With the new vminvoice, there is a editor for the invoices and the delivery note.
The editor allows tags to be placed wherever the user wants them...
Tags like: {items}{customer_note}{end_note}{extra_fields} etc.
In Vminvoices its possible to send automated emails to admins and shoppers whenever a order is completed.
It would be great if the emails sent could have the tags to show info like on the invoice but instead on the email sent to the shopkeeper and the admin.
For example: this would be great for Pizza parlors..
Lets say that there is a very busy pizza parlor and delivery notes need to be printed automatically whenever a order is received. The pizza parlor could run a special computer where it would be possible to autmatically print orderemails sent to the parlor and the printer would be able to print them out, as time is or extreme relevance, they might not be able to first go to vminvoice and click on all invoices to be generated and print them out.
With the current version of vminvoice only the information email would be sent to the admin...
(with the default settings the text "we are attaching the invoice as a attachment")
if the tags would be converted into order info like on the invoices themself this would be great as these could be sent to the admin automatically.
I hope i am making sense with this..
Virtuemart already has this feauture but it works as soon as there is a order confirmation wich doesnt mean that the order is paid, they could be cancelled or pending.
The parlor could make an error with cancelled orders and they would be made and delivered without them supposed to be.
The note sent whenever the right order status is reached solves this problem...
Mails would only be sent when the payment is done thnx to vminvoice.
