Only specific staff allowed to delete order how?

eko

I searched the forum but failed to find a solution. I would like to restrict which staff category (admin only) can delete the order from Admin->Sales->Order but unfortunately did not find it. We only use system for takeaway. Staff then enters order in local POS (Wintabby) and do rest as normal. However to ensure that clients claims they lodged an order can be verified we do not want the staff to be able to delete any order from the online system. It also helps with verifying orders made online with them being properly entered in Wintabby. Any suggestions, fixes much appreciated.

I finally figured it out… to “remove” the delete button on Admin->Sales->Order and the details page (edit) you need to edit /app/admin/models/config/orders_model.php and comment out as follows in 2 locations (ie and put as indicated /* */).
$config['list']['toolbar'] = [ /*'buttons' => [ 'delete' => [ 'label' => 'lang:admin::lang.button_delete', 'class' => 'btn btn-danger', 'context' => 'index', 'data-attach-loading' => '', 'data-request' => 'onDelete', 'data-request-form' => '#list-form', 'data-request-data' => "_method:'DELETE'", 'data-request-confirm' => 'lang:admin::lang.alert_warning_confirm', ], ],*/ ];

AND (around line 169)
/* 'delete' => [ 'label' => 'lang:admin::lang.button_icon_delete', 'class' => 'btn btn-danger', 'data-request' => 'onDelete', 'data-request-data' => "_method:'DELETE'", 'data-request-confirm' => 'lang:admin::lang.alert_warning_confirm', 'data-progress-indicator' => 'admin::lang.text_deleting', 'context' => ['edit'], ],*/

So note that no-one can then delete the order records until you uncomment them again. Ideally some kind of automated authorization for e.g. Admin super user that would be able to see and do deletions would be preferred but this is what I could achieve with my limited skills. Would be great if someone could figure out how to get a roles setting for this where different types of users can do different types of things.

Thanks eko. Need to try this out. Been looking for a way to remove the delete button.

kiwiboy Good luck, I keep 2 files, one without the edit and one with, so I can easily activate the delete button by making that file manually active until I did the necessary maintenance and then replace the file again with the coded version.
