Display Order History in a block

Hi Carole,

Not sure if it's practical to fit the order history table in a block...you maybe better off just putting it in the main node area of the page. althogh you can use the snippet below in either situation...

.paste in the following snippet..edit it to suit...if you're setting up a block, set the visibility option so it only appears on your paypal return page......and remember to select the PHP Input filter before you submit the page/block.

global $user;
print '<div class="orderhistoryblock">';
print store_user_history($user->uid);
print '</div>';

You may need to set the page title after that..(I think the store_user_history function sets a "%username's order history" page title that might not be appropriate).

If that's the case, you can add in this to the snippet - after you call the store_user_history function.

$title2 = t('Paypal payment Cancelled'); 
drupal_set_title($title2);

hope that helps

p.s. Incidentally, I've been playing around with the new in-development version of Drupal ecommerce for Drupal 6.x and it uses Views a lot, which makes it incredibly easy to create different types of views/blocks for ecommerce elements. It's not quite ready for a live production site (Gordon just release a beta), but, I thought I would mention it.

there was a typo in the snippet when I first posted it...I edited it just a moment ago, so perhaps you copied acorss the snippet with the typo. try it again, using the following:

global $user;
print '<div class="orderhistoryblock">';
print store_user_history($user->uid);
print '</div>';

I haven't looked at 3.5. I have live shops using 3.4 and they work great in Drupal 5.x. if you're almost there, I would tend to stick with what you have and go live with that. I'm guessing that 3.5 just has a few of the bug fixes and patches from 3.4 added...but, if you're almost finished, you've probably already applied those fixes anyway.

At least, that's the position I'm in with some shops I have live. i.e. they work brilliantly using EC 3.4 and I'm waiting til Drupal eCommerce 6.x-4.x comes out of beta before I upgrade.

That's just my 2.0 cents. hope it helps.

you're welcome.

Shipping notices...I remember having the same problem. Can't remember off the top of my head who that was fixed. I'll have a quick look at the link you posted and see if I can recall how I fixed it.

re: taxes for provinces. I opted for using the flexicharge.module (or is it called ec_charge?) with the ec_regions.module (which allows you to specify a charge per country/province) instead of the tax module.

hope that helps. I'll have a look at that link you posted when I get a chance.

Is their a way to display only specific fields in a order history block? Such as Total, ID, Workflow, Status?

Not really in v3.x as the reports are all hardcoded, and other than the labels it really can't be changed.

However in v4.x which is for Drupal 6.x all the these reports are created using views, so you will be able to completely lay out any of these reports anyway you like.

print format_interval(time() - $account->created);
