eliminating shipping address, and dumping orders

[ModSource]

Nice looking cart software,


1. is there a way to eliminate the “shipping address” so that a customer is only given 1 address (which would be the address that matches the credit card billing address)?
2. is there a way to dump current orders by date to an excel or similar spread sheet format?

Thanks in advance for any response.

Hi,

Thanks for checking us out.

1. You can do this, with a little customization. You would first need to uncheck all the shipping fields on the Address Form Settings page in the admin interface. You would then need to remove the content from the template files that control the shipping address:

ship_shipping_address_header.php
ship_shipping_address_footer.php

You would also probably need to add a shipping rule to make the shipping cost $0.

2. There is no way to do that via Squirrelcart. You could probably do it using phpMyAdmin or another utility. The orders are kept in 1 table, and the items ordered in another. The Orders table contains the billing and shipping addresses, payment method, total, etc...The Ordered_Items table contains one record for each item ordered, and the records are related via record numbers.

Thanks,
Jamie
